Game Client Editing
Hi Guys,
Could anyone tell me what kind of coding has been used to create a game? As I am looking to edit a client. Anyone know if this is possible or how to do it? I'd greatly appreciate any help.

Cheers,

El

You really need to give us more information here. What do you mean by edit a client? Are you trying to modify a binary program here??

If you have the source, then you really don't have a choice in languages.

Apologies, I know nothing about this stuff doing my best Basically I play an online game, and I have found out people have managed to edit the client, so stats are faster etc. so I was wondering if anyone knew how to edit a client? If you could add me to MSN I'd appreciate it al3xkidd@hotmail.co.uk as I could give you/someone the game info so you could see what exactly I'm talking about. Willing to pay a large amounts for successful services in this

To edit an existing game client you will need to know how to reverse engineer, this also means understanding of [x86] asm (you are most definately a Windows user). Reverse engineering will a program will allow you to view the disassembly (the assembly code that has been generated by the disassembler after reading the machine code of the program) so that you can convert the code accordingly into your language of expertise, allowing you to write 3rd party programs for that program.

Why did you create another account?

I doubt anyone would do it for free, so you just have to learn ASM yourself, though it's a language for freaks! I always wondered how people can write their own hacks for games, so disassembly is the answer, thanks man

Yegg` disagrees: (0) ASM is for the more intelligent programmers who will deal with an area that requires it.

I had to create a new account as it won't let me log in the first account for some odd reason, says my password is in-correct. Tried retrieving and not come through to my mailbox so I thought I'd create a new one .

Does anyone know ASM? Or know of someone who might be able to do this for me? Obviously would pay for thier efforts .

What your asking is very big project. Your talking about reverse engineering a client (which is illegal in this case), figure out how to improve it, make the improvements (if its even possable) and recompile/re-assemble into a working client again, thats not counting testing and debugging. I doubt you will find anyone willing to do that. You would probably need a team of people working on it over x(6ish!? minimum) months to do it.
