Anyway to change server name in client?

01/23/2014 09:55 bashondegek#1
Hey EPvPers,

Since i'm using another source now, i'm off the shitty Messi sources :') ... and using a lower patched source.

But i would like to change my server name (client sided). Previously, it was possible to change the server name in the server.dat file, now it isn't anymore.

How to change the server name of my client now? Is it even possible?

Thanks!
Bash.

It is possible, but you would have to know hooking to do it. That, or how to encrypt the server.dat file since that is currently unknown. If you are able to bypass server.dat's encryption and figure out the new (if changed) structure of the file, then you could load in a plaintxt server.dat file. It's complicated though if you're not familiar with assembly. Also, Messi or not, all of those sources are the same Trinity based source. People just add an NPC and rename the entire source as their own.

Wait wait wait, is that code just changing the process name or the window name? If so, you can change the name of the client just by editing the string files in the ini folder. Is he not talking about the server name from server.dat?
