Hello community ;),

I've seen that there is quite a few people here that just can't wait to see new hacks being released. Two words to that: First of all, Blizzard has added quite a few new hurdles with this patch that make updating existing hacks very TIME-consuming. Blizzard has:

a) Mixed all exported ordinal numbers of library functions (these functions are heavily used by d2hackit/d2loader/d2ch etc..)

b) Re-compiled all dll with different optimizing settings. I suspect they used a borland compiler, as parameters are passed in eax,ecx and edi for non-exported functions, which is not "the usual" style of passing parameter. The consequence is, that internal functions used in hacks now require a "wrapper" function to call the functions they used to.

For example:

An intern function used to be commonly called with __fastcall convention (first two parameters are passed in ecx and edx) like this:

Code:
mov ecx,param1
mov edx,param2
call function
With these new optimizations the code has turned into something like this:

Code:
mov eax,param1
push param2
call function
.. a very obscure way of calling. The only way around it is to do something like this:

Code:
DWORD __declspec(naked) __fastcall FunctionWrapper(void* Param1, void* Param2) {
 __asm {
   mov eax,ecx
   push edx
   call function
 }
}
ANYWAY.. my point is simply that it takes *time* for the old hacks to be updated and released!

Currently I am working on the following projects:

1) A free and simple maphack that only reveals the map (not intended to be competition to mousepad's maphack)
2) A re-written "d2loader" with a cd-key changing functionality
3) Updating my private clientless bot and possibly selling it..

- in no specific order -

You can see a picture of the current stage of updating my clientless bot for version 1.11 here:

The bot is working and refreshes characters. I'm updating the in-game code right now..

Here is an old screenshot of it working in version 1.10 (running my CMeph code):

So as you see, in time there will be new hacks released. Blizzard cannot beat us! :)

I've talked to mousepad too. Although he says updating his maphack is as boring as "counting dust specs" I'm sure he will release a new version for the beloved teenage masses. :p

Yes, stop spamming, I was looking into making something, but gave up because i didnt have the time or skillz to make something like this. Finally, maybe this will shut the stupid noobs up!

Neways, thanks for the info on the changes blizzard made :).
