Anyone Good at Hexing/Programing?? CHeck ThiS out for me

[Necrosaro420]

Ok, heres my problem. Theres this game called Everquest, im sure alot of you all have heard about it. Ok theres this program that lets you run the game in a window. This program is only like 100k or something, so its a quick download if your going to check it out, but anyways heres what my problem is. When you first load it up, a screen comes up, asking you to point out your eqgame.exe file, but on that same screen, it tells you stuff about the program (EQW). It says like its freeware blah blah, some doods email, ect ect. I load up my hex editor, and even if I change just 1 letter on that, the program will not load it up until I change it back. I want to change that box to say other stuff, but I cant figure it out. There is only like 2 files in the zip, and I couldnt find this info in the DLL, but it is in the main exe file which is where I had edited it. If you could set this up so that I can change the text, ,that would be awesome. Thanks Alot!

try reversing letters...



like if it says



"programmed by:..."



make it



"rpogrammed by:..."



if that doesn't work, make sure you are getting all occurences of the word.. their might be more than one.

it (possibly) compares the info in the dll to info

somewhere else (possibly exe).



if i get some time i'll try and check it out.. let u know..



if you havent tried this look for those strings in the

exe and change them to match if you need to...

I dont really want to "rearange" letters, I mean basically I want to take that box, and just put whatever I want into it. Ill check again to see if there is more than 1 occurance, but I dont think there was.

i know. i was just suggesting it. If that works, then you know it probably has an algorithm to count the characters in the text. If it still doesnt work then you know it is just comparing it to another string.

they could be doing a crc check too,

i.e. if file don't equal this size, don't run.

I've done this before on some of my stuff.

HA! drives Em' nuts trying to figure it out.
