Bypass updaters

[EMWEE]

On alot of the servers these days they use a application updater to keep ur client up to date. Negative side of this is that u cannot launch a client with a edited system folder, since the updater patches it again to its original state.

 

I use this method to change my npcname-e.dat so i know what treasure chests contain shinny items.

 

Stuff needed:

Procexp.exe from here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

Edited npcname-e.dat http://rapidshare.com/files/86826762/NpcName-e.rar.html

 

 

1. Launch Procexp.exe

2. Copy the my npcname-e.dat to ur system folder.

3. Launch ur updater and quickly switch to procexp.exe and suspend ur updater

 

4. Launch ur client, with l2.exe or whatever the updater normally runs to get ur client going. (on  my server i can use  runl2.exe aswell).

5. Login and search for boxes with Open Me above it.

 

If u r not fast enough to suspend the updater do the following.

 

1. Launch Procexp.exe

2. Launch ur updater (just relax, take a sh1t or whatever)

3. Ones ur updater patched ur systemfolder, copy the npcname-e.dat to ur sytem folder.

4. Run l2.exe

5. Login, and search for boxes with Open Me above it.

 

This method can also be used to launch l2 with l2walker. Than simply launch l2.exe from step5 with l2walker.

 

Edit:

just quikcly made a exe for the npcname-e.dat, so this would be way easier as i posted above.

1. run ur updater

2. run this http://rapidshare.com/files/87834712/npcnamefix.rar.html

3. run client, by pressing agree or whatever in ur updater

Let me understand this, you can change the values of the chest, to only drop ews and good items ?...

He just changed the title from this npc/mob to show which one is the right box that has chances to drop enchants, on some servers it it known as treasure boxes and treasure chests, boxes drop enchants and chests do attack u when u uses a key on it.So to avoid it he changed this npc/mob title to always look for the right type.

usefull thanks

[and1enes]

want to try it

[mexican24]

theres no need to reply telling "u want try it" or "thx for this share", it is just trash and make it worst for new commers seeking something related. if u have something really usefull or a question related, its a good thing to reply but please dont waste ur time spamming here, mods will bust ya

Hmmm does this method bypass BAKE ICE updaters?Cuz i couldent get it to work.

[EMWEE]

think it does, just first run the updater, when its done, paste my npcname-e.dat in ur system folder and continue with running ur client

u paste ur file on system folder after the loader made the update? whats the reason to suspend the updater using the Procexp ??

[EMWEE]

if u suspend it, u dont need to copy paste it everytime u start a client
