[Release] Change glow color? Piece of cake =)

[For moderatos] - It's release with explanations, so don't move it to the Guide section =)

Today we will edit glow color in main.exe. The main target is changing items glow(+7 - +13).



1. We will start from theory.

There is a function in main.exe that calcs glow color for most of items +7 - +13, and some mobs. For example, for wings, dinorant-model, darkhorse-model and for some other items this function isn't called, but i was wandering how to change glow color, not in making glow items that doesn't have this attribute ;) May be u'll find it out.

The prototype of this function in c++:

Code:

---

void __cdecl Glow(DWORD dwItemId, DWORD uk1, DWORD uk2, FRGB& cl, BYTE bUkn);

---

dwItemId - objectId or index, each object is loaded in a big array of objects, and each object has it's unique index =)

cl - it's a float RGB struct

Code:

---

struct FRGB
{
        float r, g, b; // range of each color [0, 1]
};

---

in this variable glow function returns the result color, there are 30(2 equal blues O_o) default glow colors, but who cares? we will make any color

uk1 & uk2 - actually these two are floats, and they are used to calc glow color, but we won't use them :D


bUkn - do u remember 2 kind of balrogs, silver and red? this variable is used only to determine his glow and his bill glow =) silver or red.


If you've already guessed, we have to hook this function and return the color we want.

But u'll ask how to find out the real item's Id, because in function we have object's Id. It's simple, all items are displaced in array of objects on some value. Items Ids remain the same as in item.bmd and in item.txt(itemId = ItemType*MaxItemsInType+ItemIndex)

So if we have ObjectId and Offset of items in array of objects, we can simply calc item's id:
ItemId = ObjectId - Offset;

For Example, let's find the item with ObjectId=0x293 and Offset=0x285, with 512 max items in type:

ItemId = ObjectId - Offset = 0x293 - 0x285 = 0x0E(14)
ItemType = ItemId / MaxItems = 14 / 512 = 0 (integer division)
ItemIndex = ItemId % MaxItems = 14 % 512 = 14 (remainder of the integer division)

if you'll take a look in items.txt or .bmd,
you'll find that item with Type = 0 and Index = 14 is Lightning Sword

Later i'll tell you how to find the "Offset" =)
With these knowledges you can make your own DLL and change glow colors by yourselves, but I made a DLL that will be compatible for people who won't be able to make their own.

2. DLL

Here i'll describe the algorithm of the dll.

This dll supports 32 & 512 MaxItems.
So the best way for a dll, that will be compatible for all, is memory allocation for all the items -

Code:

---

struct ITEM
{
        BYTE bChng; // i'll tell later
        float r, g, b;
};

---

sizeof(ITEM) = 3*4 + 1 = 13 bytes
maxtypes = 16

memory = sizeof(ITEM)*maxtypes*maxitemindex = 208*maxitemindex
if maxitemindex = *** then memory = 208*32 = 6 656 bytes ~ 6,5 kb
if maxitemindex = 512, then memory = 208*512 = 106 496 bytes = 104 kb

For maxitemindex = 512 a lot of memory won't be used at all, but this method allows us to use direct addressing, so it is faster then if we had to find the item in the list of items by it's id; and also this method will help us later =)

remember ITEM::bChng? we will mark all changed items(i mean glow).
If item is changed we return our color, if not - we call default glow function.

Here is our new Glow Proc

Code:

---

void Glow(DWORD dwItemId, DWORD uk1, DWORD uk2, FRGB& fClr, BYTE bUkn)
{

        int id = dwItemId - g_dwOffset; // calc item id

        // if our object is an item and this item should use our glow and it's not a silver balrog :D
        // then we return our color
        // else call the default function
        if( id >=0 && id < g_MaxItems*16 && Glows[id].bIsChanged  && !bUkn)
                fClr = Glows[id].fClr;
        else
                fnOldGlow(dwItemId, uk1, uk2, fClr, bUkn);
}

---

The Glow Colors dll reads from "glow.gld".
Format of *.gld files:
File header:

Code:

---

struct GLOW
{
        DWORD signature;        // = 0x574F4C47
        BYTE bType;        // represents max items, 0 - *** else - 512
};

---

Further, to the end of file, follows items glow info:

Code:

---

struct ITEM
{
        USHORT usItemId; // item id
        FRGB fClr;        // glow color
};

---

So we've hooked glow function, we can now force main.exe to use our colors.

3. Glow Editor Tool.
404 Not Found

Glow Editor allows you:
-Edit glow color of the items u want,
since it uses Microsoft Jet(.MDB) database u'll be able to add or remove items, it's simple with MS Access.
-Load and Save *.gld files for 32 and 512 maxitems versions of main.exe
-Patch DLL for you main.exe, because function calls and items offset are different
-DLL's shared memory, using File Mapping, + direct addressing( remember?:) ) allows Glow Editor change colors directly in game.

4. DLL Patch.

Glow function calls and items offset are different in different mains, so we have to change these values.
I'll tell you how to find them using ollydbg, but with 1 condition - main.exe must be unpacked.


1. Launch main.exe in ollydbg.

2. Right Button(RB)-> Search for -> all referenced text strings.
404 Not Found
http://jpegshare.net/images/76/ac/76...f09be3e91d.jpg

3. In the appeared window RB -> search for text
404 Not Found
http://jpegshare.net/images/eb/ed/eb...2bc575644c.jpg

4. Type "sword"; Uncheck "Case sensitive" and Check "Entire scope"
http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/4...chswordlu8.jpg
http://jpegshare.net/images/b0/d2/b0...87c6b2d924.jpg

5. Search "Sword" like on the picture using CTR+L(search next)
http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/6563/03swordvx8.jpg
http://jpegshare.net/images/81/33/81...3f94ea1ff5.jpg

6. When you'll find it, double-click or press ENTER on it, and in the main window u should see smth like
on the picture, the srtring below "Sword" must be "Data\Item" or may be just "Item".
http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/9215/04foundnr6.jpg
http://jpegshare.net/images/b9/07/b9...63845bc176.jpg

7. Above the function call first push command pushes in stack ObjectId. Items types begin from Swords(Type = 0),
so when main.exe loads models or textures for swords it adds to the item's id the Offset of beginning sword's type section, and if sword's type is the first type of items,
this offset is the Offset of items in array of objects
http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/1222/05offsetyq2.jpg
http://jpegshare.net/images/07/ce/07...ec105bf9ad.jpg

8. Let's find glow function calls. RB ->search for -> all constants
http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/7...llconstbh3.jpg
http://jpegshare.net/images/45/bb/45...a6ebbeca63.jpg

9. We will search for ObjectId of the Lightning Sword(remember how to calc itemid or object id?)
ObjectId = Offset(value that you have found) + ItemdId(0*512+14 = 14(0x0E))
for Offset = 0x285, ObjectId = 0x293
http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/7...ngswordhr9.jpg
http://jpegshare.net/images/ea/d5/ea...50a9925c2e.jpg

10. In the appeared window find 2 Compare Commands
http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/2...onstantma9.jpg
http://jpegshare.net/images/5c/cd/5c...3b15dbbc10.jpg

11. Double-click or ENTER on the FIRST command, and you'll be redirected to it
http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/7...toconstgq7.jpg
http://jpegshare.net/images/70/3b/70...a51826cba4.jpg

12. This is our glow proc, scroll up and find the beginning of it
http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/4...lowprocsv7.jpg
http://jpegshare.net/images/c6/8e/c6...33e8285901.jpg

13. Select first command, then RB -> Go to, and you will see 2 calls for glow function
http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/5467/11callskr8.jpg
http://jpegshare.net/images/42/49/42...86134f2d86.jpg

if u don't have "CALL from X", then RB -> Analyse-> Analyse code, and trye again step 13
http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/2...analysedz0.jpg
http://jpegshare.net/images/94/40/94...763fa2b760.jpg

now with Offset and 2 func Calls you can patch DLL =)

3. For those who will make mirrors


Report bugs, errors, mistakes etc...

nice i will try

Wow!!!!!!!

Nice.10/10

NIce, pretty full guide

The first who i know played with glow was sobeih, in his sources... (when he loaded models from la2, he also added them glows...

10000/10 it is very COOL

Sorry for my stupid question, but can we change glow for new items From L2 :punch:

That' s a great guide!

i've been waiting for this for years now... this is one great help for the mu community.

thank you very very much.

wow,
we still have some good ppl who share their knowledge with us
thanks !!!

Man you are incredible !!!

10/10, seems like the l2 items etc get a unique glow now ^^

PPL don't forget to hook the DLL, i was in a hurry and forgot it =)

2 and a half years later and it's finally done :mrgreen:

Such a small thing but makes a big difference for modders! Thanks dude! :thumbup:

nice job XD... its abt time some1 figured it out

Dude, this is fantastic, it's being a long time since this was requested by half the Mu Online community, I love you! xD

it's niceee..
thx for share.. 100/10

This is the best release on last months

Thanks for share =)

wow amazing job thank you so much

It'll be very Useful for Lineage Items for Example ;D

search for Name(label) in current module
find there LoadLibraryA, begin typing the name, you will find it faster
press enter, it will search all references
When search will end follow any call command, not jmp
Then press space(assemble) and copy the command, and use it for loadlibrarya call, it looks like CALL [DWORD DS:X] =)

Isn't there a function that we should call? Cause it doesn't work for me. No color is changed.

Wonderful ;)

just hook, all initialization in dll is done when dll attaches to process, also you will need an empty glow.gld
if u've done all of this give me main.exe, i'll test it

Can't attache dll to 1.04x+minimap =(

And here's the main.

Send big files the easy way. Files too large for email attachments? No problem!

Please reply and thank you in advance.

calls: 0x0052800D, 0x006229DF
offset: 0x285

but dll already has these values by default, so for you there is no need to patch it, just hook it

I hooked DLL, changed the offsets, put the files into correct locations and nothing happenes.


And here's the main.

Send big files the easy way. Files too large for email attachments? No problem!

Please reply and thank you in advance.

your main already has a hooked dll, so u have to place your "hook" after the hook-code of this dll

Hi Gembrid,

I try to find "Offset of items in array of objects" in main for 1.02K, but i stuck on this because, i don't have that the "call" or someting else (i'm noob in asm) let see:

ImageShack - Hosting :: gagaqx0.jpg

I found another "sword" in main, but all of them is same...
I uploaded main:
Main

Thanks for your help, this release is awsome

it's not packed, and offset and calls are those that are initialy coded in dll, so u just have to hook the DLL in main.exe

Nice thanks ! :)

[Request]

You might have heard about the Czt MuServer v1.0.Well,I need your help.
I changed the plate set into dragon set and dragon set into plate set,so that NPC guards are equipped with dragon armor(which I renamed dargonmaster armor).

But when the dragon set has the blue plate glow when its +7 and higher and looks like an ancient set.
Similarly,the plate armor has the red dragon's glow.

Do you think you could fix that?ie the dragon glow,you make blue like for plate,and the plate glow you make red like for dragon.
If you do this then Credits will partly go to you for client side patch v1.1

Thanks in advance! :winky:

is this what u want to do with guard? it's without switching items bmd's
http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/1420/snap2er8.jpg

http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/1420/snap2er8.jpg


Yup,that is what I did,but by switching the BMD files in Client>Data>Player.
Well,the Czt server has been released in release section.Think you can have a look?

It would be greatly appreciated if you could help me out.

Client credits for patch v1.1 will go to you also :xmas:

we have a idea on changing weapon glows,

i think well be needing at least one guide on changing armor / set glows.

;)

your Posts: 666 :D

I didn't get it, about changing armor / set glows, what do you mean, if you know how to change weapon glows, what's the problem in changing armor / set glows?

offtopic:

^^ 667 now, (i better delete other posts to retain 666 =P)

ontopic:

well we already have an example with swords thats why i understand the concept with

changing weapon glows,

but i haven't encountered any guide with changing armor / set glows yet.

a simple guide about it can basically be applied to all other sets which will

come in handy for the rest of the mu community also. ;)

the guide in changing armor / set glows is by running my program and change it =) run your main.exe, run my tool, select one of the item in the list, press ADD button(arrows up image) and change the glow =)))

"sword" in my thread - is the key to find the offset in array of objects, because each main version has it's own offset, once you have found the offset patch the dll, and now you can change glow for 16*512 or 16*32 items(open item.txt and you'll understand it) =)

Here are the 2 mains i use - main.exe is 1.04j non-3d and the 3dmain is 1.04d with 1.04j serial.

Thank you so much... i tried to follow guides and got nowhere - but i think you need at least a little coding knowledge to follow them.

Many thanks! This helps me out big time.

Malice

everything worked out fine for me like a charm, but for the benefit of all those who want to hook the dll on future or other mains not included here, i strongly suggest a principle / guide on (how exactly) hooking dll to main be made / posted.

Realy good =)thx Gembrid

Hello, I tried to hook dll to my main for hours, but ive got zero knowledge with this theme, so it isnt working.

I wrote Gembrid and he told me that my main is packed... I tried to unpack it with stripper, but it says that cannot made the unpacked file...

Please can somebody help me to unpack my main and hook dll to it?

here is a link to my main and dll
http://rapidshare.com/files/103574546/Main.rar

Many thanks to anybody who will help me!!

I have the same issue, my main seems to be packed >.< Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Main+dll

like i mentioned in my earlier post, a guide on hooking dll onto main would save a lot of requests / questions / problems.

the existing guide is for hooking dll onto a gameserver, which is not really helpful or non-experts.

;) hope someone breaks the ice.
