Private Server Project

I have been tinkering around with the c3 and dmap files a little and using a hex and ascii editor to view them I kinda thik they just tell the exe where to look for certain graphic files this is just preliminary outlook seeing I just started looking at them tonight. No programs I have found so far will open them for further inspection. I will keep posted here with more information.

The graphic files for maps are referenced in puzzle files (.pul).
.DMap files contain information about co-ordinates such as height, and whether or not you can access it.
c3 files are 3D shells for monsters/players/NPCs

ok so why would the c3 need to be "hacked" if they are just graphics files. and wouldnt the client handle the output from DMap so again I ask why does DMap files need to be "hacked".
I am not flaming only wondering why graphics files need to be hacked? :?

They don't directly, but correlating graphics in game with graphic IDs (filenames) helps enormously with identifying and bulding databases as well as packet analizing.

may I ask what programming language you are using for this. I have semi decent C# coding ability just began learning about 5 months ago maybe 6. so if I can be of help let me know. :)

Oo, so is this still going on?

No it's terminated. I was just answering as to why we were trying to crack the client side files.

I dun' want the chinese mafia diggin a trench round my house and waking up with a dragon's head on my pillow. TQ are nasty, unethical people. I like life.

Can i request this thread be closed?

Ahhh OK I thought it was still active sorry.
If you wouldnt mind me giving it a go PM me I would love to see the work you had accomplished. I will NOT distribute it to anyone.

lol I like life too :p

c3 files are probably part of a Chinese graphic program, which is why when you search google you cant really find a way to open them.... maybe someone who knows mandrin or the other chinese language ( ... i forgot >_< ) can help ^^

So.. You are not passing it on to ultimatehaker or someone of that status? :eek:

CLOSE THREAD NOW!

hmm. i personally think c3 files are c3 file. i think co renamed them to make confusion.

so there isn't any way to keep this project alive, maybe on an underground server? and wiht private testers of the server?

That's for sure serph. With the shiz our project caused, i would imagine any future PS projects that anyone started would definately be underground and certainly not advertised anywhere, epecially on a forum that TQ regularly monitor.
