making an private EH... (tutorial)

[Rapid]

Posted by major_rob123 at Div-x forums

(Hey, I have a technical writer background...sorry if it's longer than you would expect in a quick and dirty version)

NOTE: I am basing this on VS.NET 2003 because that's what I use. Their are other compilers out there where this will probably not match the steps exactly.

1. Get VS.NET installed on your system

2. Download and install the DirectX 9 SDK. This is available from Microsoft for free

3. Obtain a copy of LIBCI.LIB and place it in the c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\vc7\lib directory (note: your directory may be different...\vc7\lib is the important part)

4. Obtain the source code for EH. This is where it gets more complicated.

I am not going to go into ANY detail regarding how to edit, modify, or debug code. But, in general the EH source code contains two sub-directories; one for evilhack (the dll) and one for evilconfig (the UI). Each of these sub-directories contains a "project" file (*.vcproj), the c++ code files (*.cpp), the header files (*.h), and various other files/directories (*.txt, artwork, scribbles, etc.).

5. Open VS.NET and then Open the project file (*.vcproj) that you are going to either work with or build. If it's the first time you've opened the file, VS.NET will ask you to convert it to a VS.NET project file; do it.

This will open the overall project and provide you with your workspace (the main portion of the window), a Solution Explorer (right-context pane of the window), and an Output/tasklist (bottom pane of window).

Either edit your code or move straight to the build process. This instruction set assumes that you have clean source code and you are going to build a RELEASE version.

6. In the Solution Explorer, you'll see a hierarchal tree for the project file you are working with and at the top of this tree, it is described as a "solution." Highlight this solution and note that the bottom half of the pane will change to the "Properties" of the solution. That window contains a line called "Active Config" and has a default value of DEBUG. Change it to RELEASE.

7. In the VS.NET menu bar, select Build/Solution. The first time that you do this, VS.NET will ask you to save the solution. Just agree to the default value because it will save the solution file in the same project directory that you are working in.

8. Watch the Output pane at the bottom of the screen. It will provide an ongoing status of the build process, beginning with "----Build Started: Project: .... ------"

One of two things will happen:

A. The build will complete successfully (or with warnings) and you'll receive a status message in the Build window saying something like "Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped"

B. You will receive errors and the build will stop before completing, giving you a list of the errors (including file and line of code).

Generally, warnings are okay, but should be investigated as they could mean you have extraneous references to code or calls to functions that are not used. Errors are of course errors and must be fixed before a build will be successful.

9. IF your build is successful, within the project folder that you are working with, you will have a new directory called "Release" which will contain your object files (intermediate code files), your build log (buildlog.htm), and your target file (either evilhack.dll OR d3d8.dll if you're working in evilhack.vcproj OR evilconfig.exe if you are working in evilconfig.vcproj). Copy the evilhack.dll/d3d8.dll and evilconfig.exe from each respective Release directory to the location that you've saved the rest of your binaries which were not part of the build (e.g. *.png, *.txt)

10. Follow the normal instructions for installing that version of EH using the the new binary set as if you d/l'd it from somewhere.

Pat yourself on the back...u just did your first build of EH....HOOAH!!!major_rob123

Source of evilhack.

Edited by moderator :-=rapid=- the zip is empty.

[bunny27]

Yes, I read that before...
But can't it be more simple...

And I want to make a private T3chn0h4ck, not EvilHack...

Thx for trying too :-)

I beleave this has been postet before.

Can you link me to the previous posts?

[Rapid]

this is posted on UC but i dont think on MPC ............ but it could be btw you cant make your own private TH cause we dont have the source of it .......but with vs.net you can make evilhack to rapid hack or something you only need to know what too change

Can you post the precise links to the downloads of VS.NET 2003 and DirectX 9 SDK please...

Aren't you supposed to pay for VS.net? If yes, dont link to a copy.

[bunny27]

Aargh, you have to pay for VS.NET or download a trial for three hours...

Edited by moderator for warez

And I still need a link for DirectX 9 SDK...

[barry_white]

, you are warned. No talk of warez or P2P in MPC. And I had just warned all in a post.

Soure of evilhack.

Theres nothing in the zip file.

[Kickass69]

So, When I build it like that with VS.net, is it PB-proof? What do I have to change about the source code?

[barry_white]

Thx for pointing this to us.

[clone39]

This is a great tutorial.. thanks rapid..

only problem is.. i have zero knowledge of programming, i am able to compile something from source code but changing a piece of coding is way beyond my capacities unfortunatly :(

Is there another site or if you could PM me what to change in the source so it can be a private build hence PB-Proof (at least for a while)?

Or better yet.. anyone got a good site so i can teach myself whatever language EH is written in? All the sites i have on programming stops with the "Hello world" basic program *sigh*.

Thanks in advance!

in the EH source is a file called apijacking or somkething like that you need to change some lines in taht file i had read that somewhere i dont remember. i gonna search the source somewhere ok ?

[Kickass69]

The file is called ApiHijack, I got the Source Code, but what should be edited to it?

[bunny27]

Ok, hurry :-)

EDIT; Can't I use another FREE program to edit the source ?!

[Kickass69]

Ive got the Source Code, can I up it here?

[bunny27]

Ok, so it's called ApiHijack...
What exactly do you have to change in it ?!

Cant find I think I read it at the th forums.

[-=3L_h0mbr3=-]

can the source code be changed using c++ ?

[commando127]

The whole thing can be changed using C++ if you have the code.

[Kickass69]

I got the code, but I want to know what I should edit to make it PB-proof... PLEASE

[-=]DeUcE[=-]

I think everyone here can get the programs needed to make their own priv. hack they just don't know what certain code to change and what they have to change about it.. if someone can explain this part of the process i think everone would be able to make their own priv haks and so pb would have a pretty hard job getting a finger print of the files..

[commando127]

GL_depth test is 1 thing PB scans for. Someone told me that lil while ago.

its not just 1 thing you have to change and poof you got an undetected hack. It's a little more complicated than that.

[-=]DeUcE[=-]

o yea i know, but this tutorial just goes over the basic steps and alot of people here r new to programming and they need to know what codes to change u know..

[commando127]

I was replying to this guy:

I got the code, but I want to know what I should edit to make it PB-proof... PLEASE

I suppose i should have quoted it in the first place, my bad.

[-=]DeUcE[=-]

lol o ok, but i was talking about the same thing so w.e

[lisa17]

Could someone please make me a private techno or evilhack please?

[Rapid]

everyone want one so plz dont ask for a private build !

[Polo08816]

What other development software and coding languages could someone use to develop a private build or a new hack?

[funkymonkey]

i think u can use others C++ compilers, doubt if it will work, and i think its just C++ man

[-=3L_h0mbr3=-]

upload the script, i want to play with it this weekend.

So I wouldn't need to know OpenGL or whatever AA uses? Just C++?

You can use any language so as long as you know how to code with it. Here a number of languages delphi, pascal, c, c++, C#, Visual basics, Java, and a couple more but I cannot remember at the moment. It'll take time if you want to learn any of these languages. it's almost like a stepping stone you almost need to know one before the other or at least it help majorly.

[bunny27]

Tu parles français barry_white, chouette !!!
Je suis de la belgique, mais mon français n'est pas très bien...
J'ai français comme première langue etrangère....

Ok, I suck at french, I know :-)

[commando127]

Parlez anglais sur ce forum. =)

J'ai obtenu tout ceci d'un traducteur ainsi il des ressembler à un Français de parler mais vraiment je n'ai absolutly aucun lol d'indice

AA doesnt use OpenGl anyway, its direct3d

Not everywhere in Canada but...! (wink at commando127)

Actually this is (somewhat) incorrect. If you want to make a hack that functions at all in the same way as EH/TH (dx wrapper) then you need to code the hack in c++. That is unless you feel like porting most of the DirectX 8 SDK to whatever other language you want to make a hack in. And if you can manage to do that all on your own I'll be more than glad to hire you to write me a new kernel32.dll that doesn't crash all the time :P.

My suggestion: learn perl, php, ruby, java, smalltalk, or some other nice OO scripting language before you try learning C++. It will make your life with C++ 100x easier.

P.S. Pascal!?!?! Since when do people learn totally obsolete 25 year old languages to write game hacks? You might as well suggest writing a hack in PL/1 :P (i sincerely hope someone here gets that joke).

P.P.S. You ought to be poked in the eye for attempting to propogate Delphi.

[Shahrad]

hahahah ohh man that was a sweet joke

ok guys i have VS 2004 so will try now

[Dopamind]

there is no vs 2004, only 2003 and 2005!!!

ps: you forgot the "cobol"...

Are there any tutorial in german?

learning a language just to learn another language is NEVER a good idea.. if you want to learn C++, dont go learning C/any other language which is recommeded to you..

In fact, knowing another language, especially an OOP language might hinder your learning C++ or any other OOP language... (or any language at that) because the coding style is very different and the language stresses different points.

P.S. you missed you point with pascal.. if a language is old it doent make it bad.. some of the languages you mentioned are as old.. C++ itself was formed somewhere in the early 90's so its ~15 old, and befor it came C which isnt much older then pascal.. would you consider C an obsolete language? I wont, even though i like C++ much better..

p.p.s
and lets nt forget assembly

And wow, this is just the month old how to build your own private hack thread. hell, no one's posted on this since before I started playing :p

hey thx john blucky

i need help with this tutorial, if any1 could help me

PM me so i know
thankx

[batata]

hi i just made the d3d8.dll and evilconfig.exe file so i went and did the normal thing what u do whith these files and went in to a server add got booted for a d3d8 file so i wanted to know is how u make the files so that u only have to use two files and they will be called evilconfig.exe and evilhack.dll stead of d3d8 and u can run this two files from any folder in your comp so can some one help me?

[-=UnKnOwN=-]

Yes, I read that before...
But can't it be more simple...

And I want to make a private T3chn0h4ck, not EvilHack...

Thx for trying too :-)
th3chn0craphack is made off of eh, just to let u know i would build off of Evilhack Source alll the time. Because th source is crap. BTW: Mods this is not meant to start stuff just simply saying what i reconmend him building off.

[SuicideCoder]

I see the problem...Theirs no BOOK! on how to make hacks...all the info is scattered into tutorials by people that don't know it all, but rather what worked for them at the time...

Is their any resource that shows you start to finish how to make a hack for unreal tournament with PICTURES?!! :P Like how to detect game models in game etc. I mean the maker of evilhack must of learned this stuff somewhere so the info must be public somewhere right?
