How to Force a Client to be executed only by Autopatcher

Archgeus · Feb 8, 2022

Here's how you can make your client to be executed only through the autopatcher you choose

Note.

*Use only 1 option
*The location of locale_inc.h and UserInterface.cpp is from your client source

Option 1

Go to UserInterface.cpp and find

Code:

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
if (strstr(lpCmdLine, "--hackshield") != 0)
return 0;

Add after

Code:

if (strstr(lpCmdLine, "--whateveryouwantasargumenthere") == 0)
MessageBox(NULL, "Solo puedes ejecutar el juego desde Metin2_launcher.exe", "Metin2", MB_ICONSTOP);
return 0;

Option 2

Open Locale_inc.h

Add

Code:

#define ENABLE_ARGUMENT_STARTUP
#define ENABLE_ARGUMENT_POPUP
#define ARGUMENT_PATCHER_NAME "[B]Solo puedes ejecutar el juego desde Metin2_launcher.exe![/B]"
#define ARGUMENT_STARTUP "whateveryouwantasargumenthere"

*Change Solo puedes ejecutar el juego desde Metin2_launcher.exe, to your desired pop up message

Now go to UserInterface.cpp and find,

Code:

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
if (strstr(lpCmdLine, "--hackshield") != 0)
return 0;

Add after

Code:

#ifdef ENABLE_ARGUMENT_STARTUP
    if (strstr(lpCmdLine, ARGUMENT_STARTUP) == 0) {
#ifdef ENABLE_ARGUMENT_POPUP
        std::string msg = std::string("Error: ") + std::string(ARGUMENT_PATCHER_NAME);
        MessageBoxA(NULL, msg.c_str(), "Metin2", MB_OK);
#endif
#else
if (strstr(lpCmdLine, ARGUMENT_STARTUP) != 0) {
#endif
return 0;
}

What you get,
