Conquer Playground

[Best Coder 2014]

What is this?

Inspired by the thread by CptSky, I decided to try and make my own version of this.

Note: This is currently for learning purposes only, it is in no way intended to be some kind of "playable" thing.

The project is a C# DLL that is injected into the CO process which then hooks functions in the client and "tricks" the client into thinking that it's connecting and talking to an actual server.
The included "MinHookManaged" project is a thick C# binding to the library, which is the library that is currently used for the hooking part.
A launcher is also provided for convenience, but any launcher that is capable of injecting the DLL and calling the exported "Initialize" function should work fine.

The project currently targets the patch 4356 Conquer.exe. If you are interested in trying out the project, I'd suggest that you download the 4351 client, which can be found in the thread and then download and apply .
It is of course possible to use this for other patches, but that will require you to update the addresses for the ReceiveMsg and SendMsg functions and quite possibly also some packets.

Files

Inside the bin/Debug or bin/Release folder, the following files will need to be copied to your Conquer.exe directory:

ConquerPlayground.dll - the C# DLL that contains all the "game logic" (not much so far).
Launcher.exe - responsible for launching Conquer.exe and injecting the DLL.
MinHook.x86.dll - the native MinHook library.
MinHookManaged.dll - the thick C# binding for the MinHook library.

Features

Close to none. Right now, there's almost nothing implemented. There's only a couple of packet handlers implemented which is just enough to allow you to "log in" (username/password and server doesn't matter), get items from the shopping mall, equip items, and use a couple of commands.

looks nice! I'm going to check it out later.
btw. can you provide us the source code for the MinHook.x86.dll and the MinHookManaged.dll ? I'm sure that a lot of adresses has changed in different versions, or are you searching dynamically for function, like sendFunc from 00000000 to FFFFFFFF in the memory?

You might want to check it out before you start asking questions .

Well the code could be cleaner considering the small scale of that project. ReSharper completely freaked out when I opened the solution - but who am i to talk after letting Xio leak. All in all its very neat, cought me off guard when I saw the "Server" part being just queues :P

Nice work.

Seeing as I use StyleCop whose coding style rules differ a lot from the default ReSharper rules, it's not really that surprising to me that ReSharper would complain a lot.

What do you mean by "cleaner code", though? Less ReSharper issues?

Well your naming of private fields is equal to parameter names, requires to you prefix most assignments with a "this."


private GameNetwork gameNetwork;

public SendMsgHook(GameNetwork gameNetwork)
{
this.gameNetwork = gameNetwork;
this.Create(SendMsgAddress, new SendMsgDelegate(this.DetouredSendMsg));
}


You use the "this" prefix for almost everything, even if its totally not required, now, thats preference but I really dont like it.

private Queue<NetMsg> clientMessages;
private Queue<NetMsg> messages;

public GameNetwork()
{
this.clientMessages = new Queue<NetMsg>();
this.messages = new Queue<NetMsg>();
}

...all the redundand code in delegate assignments.
Red being redundant code.

this.Create(SendMsgAddress, new SendMsgDelegate(this.DetouredSendMsg));


Other than that its just resharper complaining about general rules I set for my own development.

.

I know there's no need to explicitly "new" a delegate, but personally I prefer the explicitness.

I completely disagree with you on this, the style that he follows makes the code more readable IMO. Less code doesn't necessarily mean cleaner code, readability is way more important than saving 5 characters per a constructor assignment. But that's just me.
