Faction name limit

[ristex1]

Hello everyone im kinda new here and my english isnt best

well i've wanted to ask if there it is a way how to edit the guild name characters limitation it set to 9 is there a way to edit it to 20 or so...

Yesterday i've worked for hours and was rooling out possibilities
i rooled out the .pck files (which im not so sure if it is there or not)
i rooled out the task's actually every idea i got about it...

well my theory is that kind of thing is stored to the database
but i cant find it

anyhow Ty for reading this

~Best regards Riste

Nope, it's hardcoded in "elementclient.exe" and "gfactiond" I guess.

[ristex1]

odamn O_O so is there a way to somehow open/edit the elementclient.exe O_O
im still a newbie btw lolz

[Romulan]

Sure there are way but It's kinda hard. And Idk how to do that. Personally I'm fine with 9 characters. I don't like when the name is too long

[ristex1]

hmm well 9 chars is kinda too low for me i want atleasto 15 and thank you for the help i hope someone who does know how to open/edit the elementclient.exe will share his knowlage ^^

With a hex editor.

Would you mind giving me a link please?

hexeditor - Google Search

[Romulan]

010 editor,
hex edit free,
IDA pro,

Are hex editors that may open the elementclient.exe to edit values inside.

Once you opened the elementclient.exe with the hex editor, you will need to find the values you want to change by the new one. In this case you will need to find wich hex code define the characters limit (good luck on this one) and change it. I just know that "09" is 9 and "0f" is 15 in hex

Remember. You can't add new byte or delete one. You can modify only. Otherwise you will get a non-valid win32 application error.

Ida Pro opened the file but looking for the right string is like looking for a needle in a snob of seeds :S

[Kyomizero]

Lol, I think you mean a needle in a hay stack, although in this case the hay stack is the size of a small star system. Using a hex editor isn't like using a normal editor program like seledit, and the fact that your looking for a non-changing constant variable only makes it harder. But if you find anything let us know, cause I'd sure love to know the exact string for this one.

I never did Hex proggramming but i heard there's a way with reverse proggraming im reading about it from some tutorials i found over net so sure if i find it ill release it...But presonally i doubt that i will find it xD

[Kyomizero]

Well I'm interested in altering this as well so my friend who is also a PS developer and I will be hunting this one down. If we find anything we'll let you know.

Have fun with the tutorial. Try on some small programs first, its much harder than just programming something. Oh and if you succeed ( i guess in around 5 years or something ) lemme know
( I still have the whole disassembled elementclient.exe but i think its more than useless )

The database shouldnt have a problem with it, i doubt they would limit their char fields to 9, more like 32 or 16.

Its gdelivery/gfaction and elementclient.exe

elementclient.exe is the easier one to edit.

The character limit for naming a guild is set to 9. I've looked through elementclient.exe with a hex editor but I found nothing that looked remotely useful. Most of it is just talking about stuff for once your in a guild not the actual guild creation process. I haven't checked out the gfaction files yet. My server is down for maintenance and it's currently being setup on a better host, so I don't have access to the files atm. But as soon as I do I'll take a look. Maybe have to go through elementclient.exe again and see if there was something I missed.

well i've done lots of things only for fun...atm i dont even have a LAN server but i was i've learned lots of stuff. And ty i think ill have fun with the tutorial lol :)

[Kyomizero]

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with de-compiling the elementclient.exe. I've never had to before so I haven't really messed with it yet. But if anyone knows how or could point us to a topic explaining it, it would be most appreciated.

[ristex1]

Ehhh... I guess we will wait till someone guide us. Lets hope someone would do that
