[TUT] Local Mapping (using Charles)

[Whoknowsit]

G'Day,

i've seen, that there are a lot of people, which are going to use game hacks, which require local file mapping.

It's easy as abc, but i'll explain it here for you.

Requirements:

1. Latest Charles Proxy (Download , Requires )
2. A file, which will be used as local ressource

For this tutorial, i'll use the game "Backyard Monsters (on Facebook)" and 's .

1. Visit Facebook with your desired browser (Recommended: Google Chrome / Mozilla Firefox)
2. Start Charles Proxy, which you've installed previously
3. Clear your browser Cache (important!)
4. Visit the game

You'll notice, that Charles will be filled with some entries, like this:



So far, so good. Now, we have to find the SWF-File, that we want to map to a local ressource. If you have no clue, where to find it, expand every entry in the list, until you found the file.

In our case, we have to find the file game-vXXX.vXX.swf (X is the placeholder for a number), which is located at /game/:



Now, we'll map this remote ressource to a local ressource. In our case, it's the file Ultimat3_Version2_by B3nnyY-Fixed.swf, which you can get from the topic, linked above.

1. In Charles, right-click on game-vXXX.vXX.swf and in the menu, click "Map Local".
2. A window will be shown. Inside of this window, there's a button "Choose". Click on it and select the local file from your computer.
3. After selecting the local file, close the window by clicking on "OK".
4. You may have to clear your browser cache again for the changes to take effect.

That's it! Now, when starting the game (while Charles Proxy is running!), the previously remapped file will be loaded from your selected local ressource.

This was a very basic tutorial. You can do a lot of things with Charles Proxy. But most game hacks dont require more than the described.

Enjoy

Edited my post and added JRE as requirement.

In order to use charles, you need JRE, which you can get here:

You must have a copy of the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) on your system to run Java applications and applets. To develop Java applications and applets, you need the JDK (Java Development Kit), which includes the JRE.

Furthermore, i've changed the tutorial a little bit, so you'll better understand it.

And i bet you didnt follow all the steps, listed above.

BEFORE you start the game, you have to CLEAR THE BROWSERCACHE. And then... Open your eyes
