[Release] Dekaron Non-update launcher
 

Hi.

I wrote a small application with Microsoft Visual C++ to launch Dekaron without updating the client. This is good for people who don't want to:

1) Update their client
2) Use any command-line arguments to launch dekaron.exe
3) Modify the dekaron.exe binary to run it without a launcher.

If this doesn't work on some Dekaron please send me the launcher.exe and dekaron.exe and I'll update this.

You have to put this to the dekaron root folder. Ex. C:\Program Files\Dekaron\ .

Please also post any bugs you find to this thread, don't start any new threads.

Thanks for the scan.

You people need to talk more. Tell me if you have thought of any improvements to this application :).

ok so what is the use if the client dun need to be update? it's not a unpacked client. so dun really help much in using hacks. can u come out with a unpack client tat we dun need to update???

Well people have their own reasons why not to update the client all the time. The most disturbing thing is that if you have unpacked the dekaron.exe and wont rename it, the launcher.exe will overwrite the unpacked exe with the default one. And still if you change the name of the exe, without any launcher-bypassers, the dekaron.exe will call the launcher.exe and the launcher will call the default dekaron.exe .

There may be more reasons but everyone chooses for themselves if this can be useful to them.

I've Just a Reader and Learner.
But this to me is just a very nice clean release.

I think your Psychic now... I was thinking about this after the new client didn't do anything except have the new logo. Except I have no skills in scripting from scratch...
Very useful for a clean install and updates till now.

What are the Dekaron.exe startup parameters? =)

Thx in advance

Do you mean which arguments my launcher is using? Or do you mean what is a commandline-argument?

The arguments passed from launcher to Dekaron.exe :rolleyes:

Atm this is using m_cher and some others. Why do you want to know :)?

I'm currently writing a loginserver in C# for Dekaron, but the stupid chinese launchers annoy me, so I'd like to write a small app that redirects Dekaron to localhost =)

Ok nice, my non-update launcher is using atm m_cher and sel0. I haven't found any others so far but if I will, then I'll update this :).

Isn't it possible to reverse engineer the GetStartupinfoA, and check where it pushes the value into the winsock WSAConnect to get the IP?

I don't know, never done anything with IP addresses or with Winsock :).

lol i use IP addresses to trace back where do ppl i hate or annoy me live and freak them out by telling them theyr address :D

What has that to do with this thread? :confused:
That's just an IP whois, wich will tell you their provider etc.

im not ganna tell u how to do it couse i think its kinda ilegal

Have a look at the data thingy and unpack data.pak.

D:\Program\Acclaim\2MOONS\data\data\share ;

loginlist.csv:
channellist.csv:

Try to change these files.


Well I heard about some issues with the legit players. 3>
And I guess it happens, because GameHi updated channellist.csv;

Update:
You might want to change it back.

:)

I'm sorry about this sloppy written post, but I do not have much time.

Kerelmans:

All you have to do is create a dll app to be injected into the client file to hook the WSAConnect function. After its hooked just modify the data to what you want...

have a better luncher, they need no update configs!!

i start normal luncher let update and use the bypassed luncher again and all work nice!!!:p

I'm using the channellist.cvs method now, works fine. I've set up a C# tcplistener now & starting the decryption part... will be harder though.

The point of hooking the WSAConnect function was so you wont have to keep editing the channellist.csv file everytime you wanted to play for real. But hey if it works, it works :)...

is this safe dawgs i dun understand the scaning.

iS THIS SAFE?

Yes it is completely safe. I wrote this application by myself...
