Open some of the Continuum/Server files with this. You might find some stuff you've never seen before.

Atleast I have.

Was PriitK planning on implementing a Log Reader into Continuum?

I'm quite sure there must be a way to trigger Continuum to bring this popup up and allow its entered information to be sent back to the biller somehow.

Hmm. With this in mind, we should even be able to change the default skin that Continuum uses!

Whoa. Go download Subspace v1.34 and check out the stuff in the DLLs. I found the skin files for it in SUBUI.DLL.

For the first part, it was probably gonna be used to search for text in alt-tab.
Edit> Find, like a more advanced way of finding text. As for the second thing, that is used to store emails so people can reset their passwords.

I bet there is a way to trigger it. Keep digging around. Also try to figure out how to get rid of that stupid unsecured password thing for non-ssc zones.

L.C. - Mon Feb 05, 2007 5:58 pm
Post subject:

Their passwords aren't the only thing that's stored I bet. Although I might be wrong, Catid's biller has some neat features that the SSC Biller might have. You can "register" your playername (shareware or whatever); by default, Continuum is considered unregistered. You can set name, email, password (duh), etc..some of the similar things the form has. Somehow that form is triggered upon connecting, and maybe this might help us?

EDIT :: With this ability, we can load up our own DLL from one of these DLL files. By being able to load another DLL from one of these, basically we can have Continuum load up in an 'external application' and also load it up with our 'modules.' Eheheh, I wonder how far (limitations) we can take Continuum with this.

Post subject:

erm none of this stuff is new.

the packets to trigger the dialog box are already known. In fact in the TCPBilling protocol it is possible ask for reg data. The find thing exists in continuum already. If you alt-tab and then use the chat client you can find it by clicking edit....find... adv

dont think about hex editing the dlls continuum checks they not been hacked.

I've done this already requires a registry entry

Oh well. It was fun while the moment lasted... I'm still probably going to find some use for the content in Subspace v1.34.

Priit has nothing to do with anything inside of the menu.dll files. That was programmed completely and only by Mr Ekted.

The registration is just a copy of VIE Subspace's registration. When entering zones and creating a new username, a billing server can send along to the server to request registration information (S2C packet 0x0A, byte 19 to request, C2S packet 0x17 for the response with your information).

Agreed, interesting

Attached is the original Subspace VIE skin. Maybe you can check if it has all the original graphics.

Well I didn't download that skin, but from the name it looks like Akai's recreation of the ss vie interface. Merely the existance of this skin indicates you are not the first person to extract gfx from the old dlls.

This is the skin I use for Continuum.

I plan on recreating it by just examining the *.txt file of how it was put together and such, maybe use a graphic or two (but give full credit to Akai whether I use any of his work or not). I want to recreate it to where it would look like the real Subspace client: menu, default skin, sounds, etc.

That I also want to use for Jackpot SVS' custom Continuum installer.

I didn't doubt I wasn't the first, but I've never seen any discussion about this before.

I've discovered some interesting strings and messages in continuum.exe as well as some other things. I may post up some of them when i have had a chance to look though the list properly and determined which ones are of interest, and then from that list which are safe to publish.

It was for future expansion. The key we never got a real answer from, but most speculate that it was to open the warping doors. The little rocket was probably a new weapon type, but neither of them were ever created. It could technically be in the VIE executable, but I never heard of anyone successfully finding it while digging around the assembly dumps.

ok as promised my interesting strings in continuum.exe this is my cleaned list of some (relatively) interesting strings. Most interesting thing i discovered that is that continuum uses an open source graphics library (which i won't name for obvious reasons).

Could just be language/locale stuff inserted by the compiler. Compilers can insert all kinds of junk without telling you.

Oh noes! Someone might hack the graphics for Continuum now! They could... uhh... make the ships look different or something!

Doc Flabby - Wed Feb 07, 2007 10:32 am
Post subject:

Maybe u would do best to rember the graphics libary is at least 5 years old and hasnt been patched to include security fixes and other bug fixes etc. This kinda thing could allow people to hack continuum by exploiting the libary. Personally i think i would be irresposible of me to release the name of the libary as the version can be easily guessed from the date when continuum was last upgraded. As well as hacking continuum someone could also potentially upload a specially crafted lvl or lvz file to their server intice u in and gain complete control of your computer.

The reason why it is interesting is it shows that continuum contains 3rd party libaries and that the people who say a new client shouldnt contain 3rd party libararies because continuum doesnt are wrong. Continuum contains at least 3 third party libaries including this one (all used legally i may add) Prittk didnt bother reinventing the wheel for alot of things, so neither should we. I can also reveal continuum was coded in Mircosoft visual studio but thats hardly a revelation....

Let me explain this to avoid confusion. Continuum doesn't use a game engine library. the game engine i imagine is all written by prittk. The libraries it uses are to help with performing related functions such as loading images from lvz into memory, or loading the ship images to be used by the game engine.
