(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey guys, here's my ideas regarding the modding of the 1.12 patch.

Alright, so as we all should know by now, the default_mp.self has some checks in it to ensure that we don't get our modded patches online.

So what is it checking for?

I think that it either contains a checksum for the patch, or it checks the threads within the patch. So what we could try is, take a standard 1.12 _missions.gsc and just change the commands inside some of the already existing threads. Nothing to complicated, maybe just some text. If it runs, well then we've made progress towards getting some better mods online.

Also, no one seems to be looking into modding the actual default_mp.self. Here are some useful hex offsets:

    706c617965725f737072696e7453706565645363616c65

    7065726b5f7765617052656c6f61644d756c7469706c696572

These next few could be part of the protection.

I would suggest someone with IDA Pro get this cracked open and take a look inside

can you not look inside with ffviewer/legacy?

great idea nice hex offsets good find

I think IDA is the only way to successfully edit/view a .self in it's full form.

you really want threads starters to rep you =D

Darn, im already bored with these crapy non host patches

NO ONE can decrypt/re-encrypt the retail .SELF, if so we would have had lots of black ops mods online

geohot could though obviously

whos geohot? =D

Imagine Geohot making a Patch :p
Derank = Corrupt Nor/NAND lol

Yes I know, but how did we get our BO mods? Through modifying the debug .self files with IDA pro. Since we have the debug 1.12 files, I figured the same can be done here.

I'm not sure there is that decrypter for 3.41 npdrm eboots. That would work with older updates I'm not sure about this one though because it newer therefore probably signed with the new keys (like black ops)
