client leak

[Serpious]

Not true at all. The first wow emulator appeared after a leak of an alpha client build that was reversed without ever logging in with it. You really don't need to be logged in to find a whole lot of valuable information in the binaries for a bot or server emulator. Logging in and debugging while it's running makes it a whole lot easier though.

Interesting. Thanks for this info.

So, anyone else making progress? I managed to start the patcher without logging in. Now I'm stuck, I have to figure out the exact package name for the current beta build. My closest guess is http://manifest.swtor.com/sspatch/pl..._he199.package.

[thomasden2]

Jonnyka, can you please tell us how you did it, so the rest of us will get that far, and then somehow we can do some teamwork all of us here and share what we know so that we can get all the info possible faster

[Badtobaco]

So basically you guys want to bypass the login and be able to download&play?

[jonnyka]

Yep, that's what we want.

thomas: In the [swtor_installed_folder]/ui/js folder, there are jquery / java scripts that are handling the whole process. Basically I skipped the login process, and went right through the patching. Now of course its just half of the solution, because I have to get some response from the login server, bug that could be emulated later. Right now I have to know the package name, so I can download the current files without logging in.

It's gonna be something like this:

... where 'playerclient' is the name of a product (it could be 'retailclient', and a bunch of other stuff), and 'he199' is the release name (or branch name). So I'm pretty sure about 'playerclient', but I don't know the name of the current branch.

Well I suppose you need help from some experienced programmers, maybe make a topic in the programming section?

[thomasden2]

Im starting to look into it, can't work on it full time since i just started school, but i'll use as much time as i have on this

I just read the info for the patch, it's the launcher patch and its for the patch you have now, the launcher update on auto, so still we have made no progress

[jonnyka]

No, it's not. And if you say so (twice, wierd), it's clear that you don't really see things through. But thanks anyway. I suggest you keep digging the .js files!

[thomasden2]

"<PackageList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" PatcherVersion="2.0.0.0" PatchAssistantVersion="2.0.9.5"><Packages>
<Package>
<Name>playerclient_he199</Name>
<Url>http://manifest.swtor.com/sspatch/</Url>
<ExpansionPath />
</Package>
</Packages></PackageList>"

This is what it says when you open the patch file
Just reread alot of it, my memory is off, the launcher is a patch futher bag then the whats needed to update with the patch you got, i thinks thats why you culden get it futher

[Badtobaco]

Well thomas why don't you fold a team and figure it out how to do it? I mean would be something really great for this community.

[jonnyka]

Thank you, you can open a file, guess you're pro after all. I'm telling you, if you really wanna help, start digging the .js files, because the whole logging / patching / client starting process is in there. Start with swtor.js, and swtor_ajax.js. Then get to swtor_launching.js, and swtor_patchprogress.js. That's the 4 files where the good stuff is at.

Here's a patch log from a successfull patching process. Hope it helps:

[thomasden2]

I have a feeling that the first paragrafes are the most importent

[Serpious]

Could someone who actually have an account post the binaries?

[thomasden2]

Well im waiting for the guy who gave us this much to get online
