Prime, I wasn't nearly as fast as lev, but I got so many units up that it was overwhelming to my opponents. Whatever happened? :find:

you already told us, u stopped playing for 2 years.

Um... Map DLLs, Map Editor Source code, or anything else op2 related.

i no little about op2. but id like 2 at least no the basics.

Well, I'm not going to even try and explain it unless you can meet these conditions: (if you do, then that's fine)

1- You HAVE to know something about programming in a language like C/C++, or know something else like VB in and out. (Not a whole lot, but I expect you to know some... If you are a master at VB, just go online and learn about C or C++. Specifically you should know about variables, function calls, memory access, especially pointers.) If you've never programmed, you'll have to get up to at least this point. Otherwise it probably won't make sense to you.

2- You should know how to use hex editors, disassemblers/debuggers is a plus.
The more you know about these, the better you will be at reverse engineering.
(if you take the time to learn Assembler it will GREATLY help you... understanding assembler is pretty much required to do any reversing)

3- Time to learn.

I'll find some websites and give you links to them, as far as the topics of cracking, reversing, etc.

What is it I did that I have forgotten? Maby it was the Acer Aspire.

the ability to make it so u can't attack ur oppenent(s) untill a specific period is up, say 5 mins

yea, its called a mark game.

plymoth45 · « **Reply #30 on:** January 14, 2004, 12:46:29 PM »

i mean to enforce it. Like on sta2 u can have a ciese fire.

Leviathan · « **Reply #31 on:** January 14, 2004, 04:04:50 PM »

well if some 1 breaks the mark u could just virus their comp
that would stop em from doin it again..
just an idea

plymoth45 · « **Reply #32 on:** January 14, 2004, 04:38:08 PM »

well for one thing, i don't have a clue on how to hack, make or get a virus without being harmed, and how to send it. The only thing i semi know how to use is the hex editor, and i only now how to fix .dll files for op2 maps

gpgarrettboast · « **Reply #33 on:** January 14, 2004, 09:47:10 PM »

Op2hacker, I'd like to learn. I know VB almost 95% (Except API's) , a decent amount of C++ and I also know how to reverse engineer. Do you have a guide?

BTW, I can write a help file and tutorial for the map editor, just PM me.

BlackBox · « **Reply #34 on:** January 15, 2004, 02:33:15 PM »

How much reverse engineering do you know?

I may give you a "test", ie. Crack this 30days demo and show me how you did it..

plymoth45 · « **Reply #35 on:** January 15, 2004, 07:26:01 PM »

stupid question for the programers of this site, but good question for the non-programers and no one with expeirience programing, "How do u reverse enginer?"

BlackBox · « **Reply #36 on:** January 15, 2004, 08:05:45 PM »

um, that's pretty hard to explain in depth.. But I'll give you the condensed form...

Decompiling a program, reading the raw machine codes, understanding it, and maybe even changing parts of it or adding on to it.

plymoth45 · « **Reply #37 on:** January 16, 2004, 09:14:58 AM »

ah, that works. btw, hex wrokshop 4 has the ACSII code in it, as well as some others, so i could use that to learn ACSII and the others it has. I wish it had tutorials though, that would greatly decrease the difficulty.

BlackBox · « **Reply #38 on:** January 16, 2004, 02:36:56 PM »

tutorials on how to reverse engineer? you won't find that with a hex editor.

All you really have to know how to do with a hex editor for most reverse-engineering stuff is how to edit bytes, and fill X number of bytes with the code XX. (In hex workshop that is the command Edit>Fill)

To edit code you figure out the new assembly instructions, and using a lookup table or something you get the raw bytes for the instructions (I have stuff like this)

plymoth45 · « **Reply #39 on:** January 17, 2004, 02:42:07 PM »

well, that works, anyone know where i can download a good free version of a java programer? (basicly it makes java programs if u don't know, i can't remember wht it is called, something like java editor)

BlackBox · « **Reply #40 on:** January 17, 2004, 08:01:08 PM »

http://java.sun.com/

It's called the Java JDK.... Look in the downloads section.

It has everything you need to write a java program.

To compile your files you just enter this command after chdir'ing to the \bin folder of the JDK (or if you added the bin folder in your PATH)

javac Your source filename.java

Then it spits out a corresponding .class file.

Once all the classes your prog. needs are compiled you can run the app. like this:

java Your ClassName (do NOT add .class, it's case sensitive!)

thank you hacker, now i can continue my self teaching of programing since my friend refused to let me borrow his java program editor/creator thing.

Luweeg64 · « **Reply #42 on:** January 20, 2004, 10:09:32 PM »

i'm with lev, i would like to learn how to hack too

plymoth45 · « **Reply #43 on:** January 21, 2004, 10:00:18 AM »

huh? when did lev say he wanted to hack?

BlackBox · « **Reply #44 on:** January 21, 2004, 11:52:32 AM »

I know that you wanted to and garrett wanted to... Am I correct?

plymoth45 · « **Reply #45 on:** January 21, 2004, 12:14:01 PM »

um, if that was directed to me i think u were.

Luweeg64 · « **Reply #46 on:** January 21, 2004, 06:34:08 PM »

i was, and lev said that back on the first page of posts

plymoth45 · « **Reply #47 on:** January 22, 2004, 09:44:01 AM »

ah, lev said he wanted to know the basics, am i right?

BlackBox · « **Reply #48 on:** January 22, 2004, 04:14:52 PM »

I'll explain it in this thread once for everyone to see:
