Sorry for my bad english, i'm from Russia.)
RE: Some Question About Syringe & Ares - DrZlo - 04.05.2009
problem solved =)
cmd for launch: D:\Games\RA2\Syringe.exe "D:\Games\RA2\gamemd.exe"
RE: Some Question About Syringe & Ares - pd - 04.05.2009
Yes.
RA2MD.exe is RA2's original launcher which launched gamemd.exe. Syringe is supposed to replace it.
RE: Some Question About Syringe & Ares - DrZlo - 05.05.2009
And i need some small help again)
I start work from tutorial in "Contributing to Ares". Start new project in MSVC 2008, select DLL(without MFC), and wrote some code:
#include <YRPP.h>
#include <MacroHelpers.h>
DEFINE_HOOK(71A92A, _Temporal_AvoidFriendlies, 5)
{
GET(TemporalClass *, Temp, ESI);
HouseClass *hv = Temp->Target->Owner;
HouseClass *ho = Temp->Owner->Owner;
return ho->IsAlliedWith(hv) ? 0x71A97D : 0;
}
Then i build all this(add StaticInits.cpp to project and configure paths), copy dll to ra2 folder, create inj file:
71A92A = _Temporal_AvoidFriendlies, 5
Then i start synerge but again nothing happen =(.

What i do wrong? -_-
And i have one question, what debbuger you use(fo disassembling)? I ask that because i don't know how start gamemd.exe from olly debugger. I know, i can start RAMD2.exe, but how debug in this case?)
RE: Some Question About Syringe & Ares - pd - 05.05.2009
Ah, looks like somebody who knows about the topic.
About the Temporal thing, DCoder is the one to ask here (he'll certainly see this early enough) as I got no clue.
Syringe detected your DLL and the Hook and that means the code should be actually executed. Maybe try to add a MessageBox call to see whether it really is executed.
Anyway, concerning the debugger, we're using IDA Pro, but OllyDBG should work as well.
The reason you can't start gamemd.exe just like that is because it checks for the launcher running. I hacked that check away and could run gamemd.exe by itself to debug.
RA2MD.exe is of no worth, it's merely a copy protection and anti-debugging utility, it contains none of the game logics.
Funnily enough, Westwood left many log messages in gamemd.exe so the check is very easy to track down, even I could do it when I was new to disassembling.
Again though, I say DCoder can help you out here, he's been greatly enhancing my IDA Pro database from back then and we have a really good part of the executable unveiled, even if not entirely analyzed. Using that would make the start for you relatively quick.
Even though I've retired from this project, I'd be happy to see more people joining the project.
RE: Some Question About Syringe & Ares - DrZlo - 05.05.2009
Heh, when i say nothing happen, i mean really nothing happen), Red Alert don't start. I know, i dont see anything with this code, i simple want launch RA with this small hack.
And about gamemd.exe, i try to remove launcher protection. I think sources of syringe help me). But new question, i use gcc make 3.75 to compile standart ares makefile(wihout InjGen, i simply remove this from makefile), and have 31 errors.. what's wrong i do?) err log in attachment.
Again, sorry for my english.
RE: Some Question About Syringe & Ares - DCoder - 05.05.2009
Indeed, very nice to see new people.
Use mingw32-make instead of plain make, that's what I use.
The game doesn't launch with your DLL because, like pd said, it's checking for the launcher. You need to add hooks to overwrite those checks. The code for that is in our SVN, if you don't want to track them down yourself.
RE: Some Question About Syringe & Ares - DrZlo - 06.05.2009
Ok, with CopyProtection hooks all work! But pd say only about debbuging).
RE: Some Question About Syringe & Ares - pd - 06.05.2009
Well, technically Syringe is a debugger.
Failed to mention it here, hehe.
Good you have gotten things to work.

Maybe anybody give me that database?

RE: Some Question About Syringe & Ares - pd - 01.06.2009
You should probably contact DCoder about this, I don't maintain mine any longer so it's over a year out of date.

well, do you have an afxres.h, and is it accessible?

I have no afxres.h. How to get it?
RE: Some Question About Syringe & Ares - DCoder - 04.06.2009
It's part of the MFC, available in the Platform SDK.
