Time stamp

skimming through the codes in prog4never's alchemy project, i realized that he obtained the timestamp using Environment.tickCount. This is the time elapsed since system boot up.

Is Conquer using the exact same method for it's time stamp? If yes, i will be performing a "niggering" on a C# written console executable for the system boot up time.


EDIT: just tested, it indeed is. So if i tried to implement speedhack, which will require timestamp to be stepped up, i will have to edited every packet that contains timestamp right?

Correct.

For Java: System.currentTimeMillis() (or System.nanoTime())

well.. that doesn't work, lol. If you look up their documentation, they don't quite get close to Environment.tickCount() in java

Edit: java doesn't have a built in mechanism that access's low level information like time elapsed since boot. Not even the java.lang.Runtime library has it. At max it find info like processor and limited info on physical memory. i may be wrong though since i dont know what time is nanoTime() based on

Sometimes, the timestamp is just XORed with the PlayerUID.
