Is this project still alive?

[LucasCTN]

I'm getting a lot of trouble by the fact that IntWars can't detect the LoL 4.20 backup that I have, and because of that I can't test neither help the project.

Is this project still alive? It is planned to get support to the newer versions of League of Legends?

The detection is using a registry key, please consult the help subforum on leaguesandbox.net for help on setting ihis project up.

We are planning on supporting the newer versions but we require people that are capable of updating to that version. As of now, no one seems to be able to.

[LucasCTN]

Thank you for your answer. I'll search for it.

@Querijn Maybe find someone who knows C++, reverse engineering or packet from L#.

[LucasCTN]

I'm interested in start to learn reverse engineering, to help the project. Anyone have suggestions on how to start?

@Luk3M If you want a first glance about how to find values in memory, I've made a tutorial about how to find zoom value easily, using CheatEngine :
http://www.elitepvpers.com/forum/tutorials/1849328-tut-how-code-your-own-zoomhack-your-games-pictures-detailed.html
I made it 3 years ago, and I was pretty much a begginer, so it's perfect if you don't know much about game hacking. Actually, this tutorial is a bit confusing, because I didn't realize that the zoom value was a float not an integer.

If you want to learn with more serious materials, I suggest you to learn about assembly, IDA pro, and OllyDBG.
Assembly is the language itself, it is important that you understand basic instructions (mov, push, pop and call at least)

For OllyDBG, I suggest you to read those tutorials : http://thelegendofrandom.com/blog/sample-page
You'll learn how to trace an application and execute it step by step.

For IDA Pro, I suggest you to watch the reverse of the game "Capitalism 2" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb18UVF4a_o (You can find IDA 6.6 + HexRays very easily on internet...)
IDA is really important to learn because you can reconstruct structures efficiently with HexRays. Structures are important for finding offsets.

Not my say, from here : https://github.com/Spl3en/LoLClientAPI/issues/1

[Querijn]

Don't think those basic instructions will help you get started.. You have to know your bitwise operator (at least for the comparisons) and jumps as well. You'd have to know registers and flags as well.

The tutorial might go into them, haven't checked.

Plus, if you want to get into this project specifically, you'd have to find out what the encryption does exactly. Seeing as most experienced engineers stopped with this, I bet it's not that easy or a good start for learning RE.

[NitroXenon]

Because it is too difficult, so devs didn't update intwars to 5.9 :P

[LucasCTN]

Thanks everyone for the help. I'll give it a shot. I was already interested in reverse engineering, and help the project would be even better.

Sorry to bump such an old issue.
But why is it needed to have experience in RE?
It would suffice to get the 4.20 client running.
Plus the argument of not having saved enough replays isn't really valid (which I read somewhere), as there are many replays out there which work by having the data saved which came from the server. (LOLReplay makes a difference between SpectatorMode or not, which you can look up in the header of the LRF file, saved as json). I just tested it with a 1.0.0.142 (Really old, didn't even play League back then) Replay, and it worked out fine (after having downloaded an older LOLReplay client, as the new one would try to start it like a spectator).

@Fighter19

In patch 4.21, Riot added massive obfuscation to packets which cannot be easily reversed, thus the need of skilled reverse engineering.

Your comment about lol replays is somewhat valid, but the thing is it's always easier to be able to capture packets of actions you're specifically doing, so that you know there is a link between them.

But you know, feel free to work on that and make pull requests with new 4.20 packets.

[Fighter19]

Thank you!
I might consider it, however I'm currently busy, so this would have to wait a little.
(Just found a full caputre of a 4.1.0.171 game).
Hopefully the protocol didn't change too much, if it did, I'd have to continue my search ^^
(How do you apply the blowfish on the packets, btw?, Compiling the dissector for Wireshark?)

[DarwinAnim8or]

Oh hey Elyotna is still active. I picked up this project a little while ago and have been tinkering with it.
Added a bunch more champion skills, but I need to modify the actual server to get stuff working properly. Lots of work ahead :P

But it's nice to see that Elyotna and others haven't jumped ship :)
