PBO cracker

Post by Otto » 2004-04-10 18:28:49

Well, ODOL explorer is out, but some stupid noobs still think they have to protect their work. We have to destroy any kind of encryption/protection, we cant allow them to protect anything. They found a new way to lock their PBOs, and I found a way to destroy the protection.

Open unpbo.exe in a hex editor
Search for "convert.bin"
Replace with "convert.xyz"
Save the file.

OR:

Open the addon.pbo in a hex editor
Search for "convert.bin"
Replace with "convert.xyz"
Save the file.


Addons have been Open Source for almost 4 years now, but now some Counterstrike-noobs came to the community and think they have to develop protections for addons. We have to stop them or they will destroy OFP.

Which version of unpbo ? 1.5 ?

I use the V1.3 which can also decode *.bin's (with a little negative error)
In this version ist no 'convert.bin' entry ;)

Actually the lockdowns were developed to prevent CS n00b's from lifting stuff.

Anyway, any idea on what this is doing and why?

Thanks.

@Otto
Nice hint ...
From now on I've use the 'repaired' ;) V1.5 too (yet)
But the V1.3 is for config unpacking a 'must to have' 8)

That seems like Amalfi works together with the 'P3DEdit elitists' (by make a 'build in protection' in Unpbo),
which explain why the 'light buggy' *.bin to *.cpp funktion has been canceled since V1.4 :-[

Imho demand that the make of a 'clear' MakePbo/Unpbo Tool.

oh its so sad that they have to do that sort of anti-community $hyt ! :(

I'm good with hailing those who are Addon Supremo's, but I dont take to those who believe themselves above community guidelines. (big head syndrome)

Thanks for the tip Otto.
Gnat.
