Anyone making a sandbox emulator for Overwatch yet?

[Frissle]

Just wondering if there will be possible to make a Sandbox Emulator for Overwatch? If Yes, are anyone doing that atm?

Some ppl say it's impossible, wich i have a hard time believing.

Would also like to know if this is possible

There is a "practice vs ai" mod, so I think it is possible.

That was exactly what i was thinking about aswell. If we could somehow get the emulator to emulate the AI practice mode. That would be enough to test out our computer speccs etc tbh

Lets hope some good coders will get interested in this game =)

A new Network method so very hard from what I have heard. Not sure. Doubt it is worth for the most guys to do this.

game files are ecnrypted, need to solve that first

For the exe you can use scylla to dump and then open with ida

they are using auth over https I guess and then google protobuff for the packets (much about it in ida) ^^
but I never worked with stuff like protobuf and... so meh no

Even for that you need a connection to the server. So it's not that easy...

that's exactly what we have done with mooege for diablo 3 beta - SRP6A auth & packets over TSL and google protocol buffer based protocol for battlenet2 part and custom binary protocol for ingame data.

That's quite achievable for Overwatch too, but myself I'm banned by Blizzard itself by a DMCA reasoned agreement that I'll never ever develop any server emulator for Blizzard games LOL. sorry

where can I get this mod?

[Shredfire]

@Deafrunner I'm 90% sure nobody has developed any mods for the game, it's very likely he made a typo and instead was saying there is a "Practive vs ai" mode.

You can get the game running without needing a server, there are some unlinked debug code that allow you to open the client up directly in the map specified.
It looks like it was triggered by a command line arg once (no longer in the client), but you just have to feed the map manually.

But it seem like if you change class the client will crash.

Would you care to post that command line? i didn't find anything like that in the version i have :c
