[Release] Heroes of Newerth LAN Edition by Sordi

Hey Sordi, I have an interesting hint for you; I have discovered how to combine parts of the game other than the content of s2z packs. U can combine dll's from different versions by changing their CRC.

U have to use the older game.dll in newer version - u have to crack game.dll's CRC checksum with checksum from newer's version game dll to be loaded without errors about cgame.dll. With this I made LAN game using exe file and most dll from version 0.1.66 however game.dll must be used from version supporting LAN like 0.1.28.

This gives you the newer version identifier and newer dll's in main game directory - may improve something a little like graphics or less crashes,, however using this old game.dll still produces the skill bugs u're working on...

Nothing will run over the internet and I belive there will be something like in steam for offline-mode.

Sorry if i can't believe it but give me a link where they say that thing^^"...

Another buglist:
Item: Mana Battery:
Description: Charge's system doesn't work.

Hero: Plague Rider:
Attack n#4: Plague Carrier.
Description: The skill doesn't jump and doesn't make damage.

Mode: Random draft:
Description: You can't choose any hero, even with the Random button.

link where they say there will be lan mode after retail?

The finals at the launch party were actually played on a lan computer.

But I will try that CRC Hack. Thanks for tipp. So I can try to add the new dlls to the old game for the attacks and stuff. There are not really crashes need to fix.

EDIT: CRC method is not working. Problem is that the functioncalls have changed.

That's not really means there will be a LAN-mode:D

I think the same.

As I tell you, I read somewhere sometime ago from a s2 dev's post that they would disable lan mode for a good time to prevent precisely this, people trying to play without paying.

See their links, and say there will be a LAN mode...

I really doubt they will be foolish enough to put a lan mode, they know how that would just be like making it be like 1.28 and giving the possibility to people to do the same we are doing here.

None of the posts are from a S2 Dev. Those "support" are members already pre-ordered.

And as I already told you. IF there is no LAN-Mode in the release I WILL take up the work again, because I want to play LAN by myself. Atm I already got a retail-account and the only time I chould play is in the morning hours, because all other time I got laaaaaaaag to the moon. I click and after 5-8 seconds my char is moving.

And I think, if they don´t make a LAN version, a LOT ppl will look out for a LAN Version and this version WILL BE free for sure and downloadable on every directhoster. They whould do ALOT better if they make the LAN-Version with the login to prevent piracy. So we´ll see at the 12th.

Thx Sordi for great work with the LAN mode :handsdown:

BUG : When uses the health potions your health regen dosn't get interupped by attacks.

And if possible with a recommended menu at the shop that would be great :D

Keep the good work up

This was inteded, because I fixed pandas and chippers charges with a little hack. Problem it damages them all 4 seconds. That was the reason I disabled dispelondamge. But I reccomend to activate it if you play without panda or chipper. In the itemsfolder und powerups. Open the file of the regen rune with texteditor and change dispelondamage="false" to dispelondamage="true".

Please don't stop lan edition. :handsdown: Because S2 need login but your's don't need that. We love it. ;)

Only if there is no LAN-Mode in retail.

Btw: I chould not stop it and tried. Got Maliken working. Only Ult needs some fixes, like not changing to ranged and not doing splash-dmg. I think there is a Area of effect used, not working in old engine. ;) Was a bit boring yesterday.

EDIT: Scout from 3.3.2 implented. Sentrys have to be detonated by selecting them. But you can use CTRL+1 to 0 to bind them to a number like with other units.

Is it a bug that i can't see any fog during playing?
