Just got a working PDB dump for matchserver (no, I'm not going to upload it...), and was wondering if anyone found some interesting functions I should take a look at. Already found a few, but I'm just wondering what other people have tried.
Packet manipulation functions are much appreciated.
wow your dumb we can already get the dumps easilyQuote:

And yes, we can download the dumps no problem.
It's a bigger pain to get Dia2Dump(Find it your self... <-LOL) and get it to dump a .pdb without it being a hassle.
You guys missed the point. I found a dump that WORKS WITH A VERISON OF MATCHSERVER (that I have). Anyhow, that's off-topic. I'm looking for starting points. And ignore that packet processing thing. I found my veldi source and it's all there.
I'm sure you don't have a 2008 MATCHSERVER like I do so screw you.Quote:

Veldi won't help you much unless you know how to find the new encryption schemes. And even then, its packet structure is probably different to the version you're using. It's gone through several revisions.Quote:

But I'll join in on the bragging and say this: code an emulator.
That wasn't my intention and I apologize if it came off as such. I just noticed that many in this community have been down this path before, and was looking for a push in the right direction. Then some randoms come and start talking about the dumps...
Well just think of things that you might wanna do with MatchServer and ctrl+f for related functions. That's what I used to do anyway, haha. But honestly, I don't think there's gonna be too much interesting stuff you could do with it anyway, at least not without extensive re-writes of a lot of things.
Like I said, you're better off coding an emulator.
Meanie, I was actually planning to give you the files RoA <_<
But I apologize wowus, I got the wrong impression.
What does RoA mean?
teamzebra was formerly known as republic of astra (RoA)...
Oh.
The packet structure doesn't look too different by the way... the header is unchanged, and there are only minor differences in the payload.
I would assume MPacketCrypter::Decrypt(char *,int) would make my job awfully easy, no?
I can't find the complete source code. And it doesn't work for Express Edition, I believe.
When I did have it, it would only dump Locator.pdb, nothing else. =\
you must be new to these forums cuz so far everyone who posted in this thread is a regular not a random
Welp, you never did. Jus' sayin'. Even when I was interested in Gunz, I asked you and you were like, "Alright, I'll send it tomorrow," and you never shared. Just share with the whole community, keeping it exclusive is a dick move. If you didn't code it then you have no right to keep it exclusive imo. It's essentially stealing credit.Quote:

In my opinion though, you're much better off looking at the client. Maybe I'm just shortsighted but I can't see too much use in prying MatchServer itself open. Security things and such, sure. But new features? Not really.
