    Trying to re-birth Legend of Ares

    If it is possible...
    How would I go about doing that?

    For example: Legend of Ares

    Update.

    This is the message I used to get when I tried opening the Legend of Ares launcher:


    But after looking at a Java book and typing up one of their examples of a simple server, I got this:


    I guess it's nothing much, but It's progress.
    Keep in mind I don't have any prior experience on this sort of stuff.

    ...Now to make the start button work.

    PS: This is not my computer or wallpaper. -_-

    I'm trying really hard to code it. My first step is bypassing the launcher, and going to the log in page.

    I think this might help since there is no Server packets for that client.
    In what i read LOA is Repend(if its true then the packets does not change much, just a realy old version).
    Repent Online - - Old Archived Files - RaGEZONE forums
    Maybe it will help.

    Sure, it's possible. People are still making CokeStudios retros. At least, sort of - the project cancels or it just isn't ever published.

    its possible just not worth the time it takes, you will have to reverse each packet and have to figure out which is send for what received packet (usually the packet id is similar to each other just 1 or few bytes larger)

    If what you had took more then a minute then odds are you should be starting on something easier before you try taking on this project... I'm fairly sure you will never finish it

    @GHOST107 I will take a look at those files. Maybe it can help.

    @th3 So there's hope.

    @zarut It is time consuming but, I'm making progress.
    Question: Any tutorials on how to make a packet sniffer?

    @HuninHune The thing about me is that I hate failure. That is why I persist.

    @nitroman123 Great.

    I was looking up some winsock tutorials. And I made a simple listening server. I got it successfully connect to my server. and It can also count the number of bytes the packet is. But It just shows the number. How can I actually turn it into hex?

    Also I got the launcher to say: Download complete. But when I try starting the game, It crashes. -_- But I guess it's still progress.

    PS: I didn't have to reverse engineer the client because it has a .dat file were you can edit the ip and port to connect to.

    Then in YOUR case the short answer would be: No

    Why not? Well basically what you are asking is equal to; "Is it possible to reverse engineer a NASA space shuttle? PS. I'm not a rocket scientist"
