I uploaded a launcher to my first post a while ago. I told people how to use Multiclient in my first post.

[Enova]

Awe crap, I'm sorry Blade. I combed over that first post several times and failed to see the attachment at the bottom of it. I was looking at all the type-y stuff and the spoiler tags and derped. Thanks. ^^;

It's a float with initial value of 1.

Woop Woop!

//Inf Dye Timer
//Patch Created by S29
//Thanks to steve for the float value, this mod wouldn't exist without it.


85 C0  - test eax,eax
7F 15 - jg +15
7C 04 - jnge +04
85 C9  - test ecx,ecx
73 0F - jae _0F

Offset to change: 0x03
7F- jg
to
75- jnz

Array of bytes for search function:  85 c0 7F 15 7C 04 85 C9 73 0F
Array of bytes after modify: 85 c0 75 15 7C 04 85 C9 73 0F

Effect: The bar will still drop, but the operation will never end.

Now abyss will feel more unique

You could just use assembly call function to make an event handler to use d3d9 as a separate function. JS.

So pretty much like a hook right? Seems that could work as well

Almost, you could just make another process of d3d9 thats for the separate hooking.

[vb286]

This there a working Multiclient around? I have Abyss and maybe I just don't understand how to run the multi? I run the game through Frontend launcher with HSLauch up. Also, unrelated, but do the Jinsu mods work? I went to patch them but there is nothing to patch?

you would also need to tell frontend to let it do that.

If you're trying to say he could make a DLL proxy for this one hook, that would be silly. He could simply make a DLL intended to be loaded by Abyss's LoadDLL functionality if he wanted to make it a separate thing.

[Blade3575]

I still don't know what he's saying.. To me it sounds like he's telling me to do what I'm already doing..

[ShaggyZE]

he is, but just using another .dll but instead of it causing issues with peoples sound not working it may affect their video instead especially if their video card relies on direct3d.
and since its the same method already used it most likely won't help fix it for the people it already doesn't work for.

Tried to launch CrackShield and got this? What do I do?

I've tried rebooting. Launching clean boot with everything off. I can't log in at all. I can't launch the HSLaunch... I pretty much am at a stand still and don't really know what to do.

I had rebooted my PC and forgot to turn the HSLaunch on before clicking the Multi-Launcher, so I assume that was the problem.

[CoalChris]

The Launcher shouldn't require CrackShield on, so forgetting to run HSLaunch wouldn't blow up your computer.

[vb286]

nope you all got it wrong, was hoping you read all my posts.
Make a copy of the file, then make a separate event handler.
How hard is that?

[Enova]

Assuming you were talking to me, vb, I made a copy of the HSLaunch and it works now, but I don't know what you mean by "make a separate event handler". I searched the topic for "event handler" and found nothing.

The problem I have now is that Frontend and the Multilaunch STILL won't let me log it, even with the Crackshield up. And now Frontend is seemingly broken. I can post a screenshot of the error message, but I thought I'd ask about the event handler thing first.

vb wasn't talking to you; you should post your error.

i did read all your posts and by themselves none of them make any sense but together they make even less sense, but regardless of that d3d9 would be worse then using dsound so it really doesn't matter what your trying to explain.
why would you need to make a copy of the file and use the 2nd for the event handler? and as far as d3d9.dll it is stock for system32 for anyone with directx and some need it in the mabinogi directory as well for swiftshader

[Enova]

Mah bad then. (however copying the HSLaunch totally fixed the issue with it not opening). Here is the issue.

[Plonecakes]

That's a Frontend problem not an Abyss problem. You can tell by the fact that you're only running Frontend...

Anyway it sounds like a permissions issue or some other silly error.

[ShaggyZE]

it could be a problem with the registry not pointing to the path of _frontend.pack but copying a second hslaunch isn't fixing the issue its just simply getting you to a further more crutial error.
as Plonecakes mentions it is a permission error; so try running the Frontend setup with Administrator and if you still get the error me or Playtime can solve the problem through teamviewer.

[Blade3575]

Could proxy dinput8.dll and load CrackShield dll through mine, seems the best choice at the moment.

[vb286]

I'll let you people figure it out, seeings how i make no sense.

Just so you know, we're not trying to pick on you or anything. But we are trying our hardest to understand your posts. Sometimes explaining can be REALLY difficult. I have this same issue too (However it almost never applies when it comes to subjects like this, I can't explain love, reading people's body language, etc)

We think your idea is unique.  and we wish to understand it. Maybe you can draw out a picture for us? That's what I would do if I can't explain it

couldn't have said it better myself.

[vb286]

you can copy and paste  the file of your choice to use it.  Then make a separate event handler to make a seperate running process to hook or inject.

File of your choice? Some DLL?

Event handler? For what events?

If something were intended to hook, what would it ever inject? Do you mean like how Blade wishes to inject the CrackShield DLL rather than it being a proxy?

Reiteration doesn't help anything on the internet, they are asking you to add more information.

any DLL is fine.
and for the record an event handler can be used for both injecting and hooking, simultaneously. you just need to tell the dll what is first being loaded, followed by whatever else you want done.  Pseudo code:
Load XXX.XXX in to memory 00 99 33 77 66 33
preform task at memory module
Execute as separate process.

And thats just one piece, you can have Crackshield and abyss running off the same dll, it just needs to tell the dll how to run it.
