[New Possible Mod Idea] Always Enable sniper_mode ?

[[P2933]Step29]

I am..so..so tired...
All just because I want gametempo back



If you NOP the JNE, forcing it to Skip the function, there is a Check where you are not able to select any server no matter how much you click (It has the same behavior as the "No Channel Limit" mod without the Beginner Unlock) I took the pointer from that and found out that pointer is widely used on many different functions. I thought that maybe I can find the activator from there. But this pointer is being used way too much and way too fast, causing crashes too commonly

There are 4 unknown pointers. If NOP the 4 unknown pointers becomes 0, if JNE was replaced then they write 1. I say unknown because after they are written to 1 you cannot trace it because they stop becoming useful after the xbn download

I really don't know how far I am into getting this, I'm still probably stuck in Step 1, All inbound ASM with no function names what so ever, truly the most difficult mod, all for just getting gametempo back

I'll figure this out..eventually.

The more I play around the S4 Engine. The more I learn how the stuff works.
It's only been a month since Odihmar posted his x7 code


In message_box.x7, there are strings that are foundable in the client. Those strings later get converted into a PUSH code. The PUSH code is very important when it comes to message boxes.

After playing around with COMMON_REQUEST, and the Enter Any Channel Code. I eventually found a CALL that triggers everytime a new window appears, this opens up to many possibilities to the GUI of S4 League.

Because of this. I decided to go back to this project. Following Odmihar's code once again and determine to learn.

If you NOP the JNE, forcing it to Skip the function, there is a Check where you are not able to select any server no matter how much you click

I was correct. The "Connecting" Window (PUSH 04) has a built in check where if the XBN files was not downloaded, the connecting window will be skipped. By force JMPing it I was able to enter S4 league with my edited GAMETEMPO file. However as soon as I started going into training mode I am encountered by another Protection/Missing Information (Could Possibly be either one of the two, assuming IFthe client does not use GAMETEMPO anymore)

I am reaching there. Slowly but it is very possible. I am trying to bring back GAMETEMPO simply because I miss having my edited values. However if I do solve, plans to release this is very undetermined due to way the S4 modding community's state right now. It feels very...underserving.

I'd love to discover more, but MDHS is giving me a hard time. Especailly since it doesn't work on Windows 8 and I had to go to Windows 7 to get it to work with exceptions, if S4 crashes too much then the bypass becomes useless, So. I am patiently waiting for the updated public version.

The "crazyness" just comes from lots of experince playing around with ASM and how they work. 3 years and to this day I am still learning. My most rewarded method is now being able to manipulate the float FPU system.


Also, this isnt "crazy" yet. as of right now this only looks like 2 edits, a NOP and a JMP.

If you want to see crazy, this was the last thing I was modding for my old game.



and this is my most messiest code yet.



as for s4 league...the most code I have modded is AlwaysSniperEnable, having a total of 6 edits and might be adding another edit due to bugs in the assembly.

But, i'm not here to brag and boast. Because I believe, even if the community seems broken right now. That there is someone here that is smarter then me especially since it's only been 2 months or so since I've been here.
