MMOBugs MacroQuest Test Server - Latest Release

is helping out with this compile something that is not too tough to learn, but hard to do, or is it hard to learn and hard to do?

i very much intend on coming on over at some point or another,but no compile is what keeps me clear of test plus i have sub time still running, but once that's out im almost certain that's gonna be what i do.(move to test full time)
so what im asking is, if it takes a person with good knowledge and understanding of this kinda thing to offer any help, or the understanding is not so tough , its just the work that's hard, and if the work load was shared by a bunch of us who want test patch active , if it would be much more possible to make it so?
 
I would be more than happy to help as well. I just have no idea how to find offsets. I'm happy to learn it however.

Dang search feature, always makes me look tarded :p

I am not sure how to correlate "open up live copy of MQ2Main/eqgame.h" with the eqstr_us.txt, don't want to do work that's already done.

***EDIT***Found MQ2Main/eqgame.h by going to mq2 website and downloading the latest compile, the MQ2Main/eqgame.h is in the zip. Load it to IDA and voila. Now just need to figure out how to search the #define PcZoneClient__GetPcSkillLimit and convert that to a hex?

Ok still stuck, I read the other post on how to do this a few times and still lost. Here is where I am at;

1. found IDA 5.0 Freeware http://www.hex-rays.com/products/ida/support/download_freeware.shtml
2. found eqgame.h in current mq2 compile
3. have Fry's current offset / missing offset list
4. hex converter http://www.statman.info/conversions/hexadecimal.html

Now I am stuck, starting at the bottom of Fry's code I see-
Code: 
// PcZoneClient
#define PcZoneClient__GetPcSkillLimit                              0x0
I assume the 0x0 means there is no offset,
so I go to the IDA eqgame.h and I scroll to the bottom as I am not sure how to search for the above, and I find this under the hexA

Now what am I supposed to copy and then search for? where is the correct address? Do I just search the test.exe or the current live.exe and then search those results in test.exe?

In WikedMofo's post here http://www.mmobugs.com/forums/everq...ded-for-doing-offsets-hacking-in-general.html

he says we have the below information from the current compile, is that his or something in the mq2.zip? How would I find it? Is it relevant to what we are doing here?


Code: 
[FarFollow]
Description="/follow someone from any distance"
Version="2006.03.15"
address0=4E56A4
normal0="0F 85 82 00 00 00"
crack0="E9 83 00 00 00 90"

Fry,

What do I do here? "open up live copy of MQ2Main/eqgame.h"? Open that in IDA?
also, I have live and test loaded in IDA, where do I find the offset info? IDA view, Hex view? Im using the IDA freeware 5.0

I might do a video about this as it's fairly hard to explain.

Live version of eqgame.h is found in latest zip on MacroQuest2.com.

No you don't open it in IDA, open it in notepad.

Soon as exe is loaded in IDA, you want to right click on right hand side and go "Text View".

You'll want to find a IDA plugin named "SigMaker" as it makes things a whole lot easier.

Highlight an area in IDA for live version, hit ctrl-alt-s - Go to "Test IDA pattern". Copy that. Go to Test version of IDA, ctrl-alt-s - go to "test IDA Pattern". Paste that in, click OK. It should tell you the possible location if it can find it. If not, highlight different part and try again.

There are many other methods of finding offsets, that is easiest, but is not always going to work when there are lot of changes like in this exe.

I'll see if I can find some quiet time this weekend to make a video.

Edit:

FarFollow offset is from MQ2DoCrack.ini that is in the release folder. That is more offsets that need finding for docracks.
 
thanks Fry,

What I meant by the farfollow thing is where is the address data? Where is the file that has it from the existing mq2 compile?
 
sorry im kinda new to this stuff but im willing to try and help
have a question tho.. where do i get the eqgame.h file??

Fry,
Can we get a quick video on this? Anxious to get mq2 back up on test :)

It's still on my priority list to get done asap. I'm really sorry about delay, I just haven't found 3 hours yet where my wife/daughter are not home so I can have some silence to get it recorded.
