This topic looks like it's racing with the "Metal Gear Solid 2 - any luck?" topic. =)

lol.
Yes it seems to be.
There have bene well over 120 posts here.
Im not sure how many there are in the MGS topic.
Its slow NOW but itl speed up once the NEWEST version of Solidus is released, Apparenty its near completion.

the way Lambda does it is check if its one, if its not go back and check another. There doesn't seem to be any discernable logic :/

You should have tried figuring it out originally

I believe you can tell what the 1b block is by checking the size ahead of time. If it's 1, 2, 5, or 10, it's an X, Y value pair; otherwise, it's something else. That's basically what my code does, it makes a guess "Hmm... is it an X, Y pair? (Yes/No) OK... I'll interpret it this other way instead." The file format was inconsistant. Sometimes it would have both the X, and Y values, sometimes just the X value. That's what all of the EndOfBlock checks are for.

You might be able to tell by looking at the name of the variable like I do in extract73type. I didn't do enough analysis.

Edit: Doing an analysis based on the directory you are in could also turn up well... you aren't going to have images in the BGM (background music) directory. And you won't likely have images in the files full of strings.

I don't know if this will help, but ftp://patch.mapleglobal.com/Maple/patch/patchdir has the patch files. Apparently, http://www.sleepywood.net/forum/showthr ... ?t=1054453 Rick was able to extract the client BEFORE the patch. I wonder if he just used the program on the .patch file.

Next I'm gonna check what changed in the header. If only the changed files changed, then its probably a crc. If only moved files changed, then its probably the location.

In the file table:
first of the two unknowns is some kind of file size, probably the extracted size, or maybe the amount of memory required. i added up all of the entries for all the files in a directory, and it added up to the value in the directory's entry.

second value changed for every file, meaning its either a checksum that depends on file location, or its the location in the file, or its the location of the file encoded somehow. Last one being my guess.

EDIT: That unknown number at the beginning of the file table could be a decryption key or something.

Extracted sorry for the plug, but couldn't resist
btw, is the problem with unicode strings that python doesn't have a way to handle them, or that we don't know how to decode them?

Guess i should put my plug as well
http://strategywiki.org/wiki/MapleStory
I'm going to be putting up whatever info I can there. Also going to try and extract data from the other versions and post the data.

About unicode, the strings are extracted properly, the difficulty is displaying them. Any web browser should be able to display it properly, its just a matter of figuring out how to indicate you're displaying unicode not regular text.

EDIT: Try this
replace the line in transStr16:
s += struct.pack("h", xor16(a,p))
with this:
s += "&#" + str(xor16(a,p))

I should probably mention that I'm http://strategywiki.org/wiki/User:Prod

I want to try to figure out how to patch MapleStory manually, so I could extract it before the patch actually is released.

This file is to patch from 00028 to 00029. Hopefully some people haven't patched their Maplestory yet. =(

I don't think its illegal for lambda, cause he doesn't play
Are these the TOS on the website? or in the game?
Cause I don't ever remember accepting a TOS on the website

Usually it is not illegal unless used for one's own profit... DARN GRAPHIC PIRATES!
