Hey guys,
I am going to have a go at getting into the source code of a multiplayer EXE. If i can get in i have a theory on how to jerry-rig a COD4/COD5 style multiplayer menu. In order for me to be successful i NEED that source code (and maybe some help from various programmers).

Long story short - How do I open up the source code for a multiplayer game (preferably in DB Pro) Thx

*long sigh*

The source download came with one of the DBP upgrades. U6.6, I believe.

Good luck.

Iv looked at your mod and I aint buying. How do you decompile an EXE? Iv found tons but it converts them all into C++. Is there a decompiler that leaves it as Dark Basic Proffesional??

First off, you can't edit his program because it's his property and is stated as such in the liscense. Second of all, it's not a mod, it's a compiler.

Some people say that I'm crazy... And I agree.

ok go here and get the upgrade and then once you get the upgrade go into your dbp project folder and the fpsc source code will be their in dbp format. http://darkbasicpro.thegamecreators.com/?f=upgrade_6_6

You don't decompile the fpsc exe.

@Arenas:

I strongly recommend against decompiling EXEs. In many ways, it's illegal. The only way I can see it NOT being illegal is if it's your own EXE that you're decompiling.

Next on the list, you have set up the compiler incorrectly for compiling the FPSC source code. Chances are that you upgraded to the latest version of DBP, in which case, you're not likely to be able to compile the source code.

I'm still not sure WHY you want to "decompile" something. You stated that you wanted it in DBP format, which is what the upgrade extras GAVE you.

From what I remember, most everyone who decided to Mod the engine had a lot of troubles getting it to compile correctly. It's just something you're going to have to work through.


[EDIT]

FYI, the DBP libraries are written in C++, so if a decompiler had to choose between the two.... I'd go with C++ also.

First off I have no intention of altering any ones mod or anything like that. What im wanting to do is decompile a single player or multiplayer level that i have made and simpily cut out the intro (menu ect...) out of it. Then I am going to recompile it. Then using my DB Pro programming, i am going to create a system that will find and connect to various games. This will give me the COD4/COD5 style game menu (PS3 Type). With multiplayer, i am going to split each game that i make into an act. This way when you finish act 1, it gives you a code in the victory hud. This unlocks the act 2, ect.... I know this stuff works because i have made it all with the single player menus intact. The single player menus are what ruins it though and this is why i want to edit it all.

PS If there is a way could i have an answer ASAP because i now have a deadline to work to. If i can get it all working i will post the steps on a thread on the site.

The menus are not part of the level files, they are part of the engine. And we have already TOLD you how to gett he source code TO the engine in DBP format. I don't know what else you want.

Go get the source the way we told you to and set up DBP to be able to compile it. That's all there is to it. After that you can edit the source to your heart's content, ripping and tearing all you'd like.

I thought that was the code for the Editor... So if i delete all of the menu huds then it will skip the menus and go straight into the game when i play?? Im not sure it will.... How do i do this??

No, deleting the images will simply make it so when the menu is supposed to appear, you see nothing.... on top of an error since the files don't exist.

You'll want to find the section of code that runs the menu and simply skip over it.

I would also like to remind you that this is an FPSC Script board, not a DBP help board.

You have only asked for the source code thus far, I have read nothing regarding script code.

If it's script code you're after, then you'll want to take a look into editing the "arenapage.fpi" script which can be found in:
"Files\languagebank\english\gamebank\arenagame\"
