I'm sure people have attempted this before...

So I wrote my caps.dat, packed it to an mpq, made my dll, concatinated the mpq to the dll with copy /b irc.dll + sdfg.mpq irc.snp, thus making my snp.

However, since I use WinMPQ to mpqify it, it's obviously not going to have a (signature) file for SFileAuthenticateArchive to check, so it inevitably fails, and sets the second arg to 1 (error code, im guessing  ?)

So i've got something like this:
[code]
.text:150302CB                 push    edx             ; int *something
.text:150302CC                 push    edi             ; hArchive
.text:150302CD                 call    SFileAuthenticateArchive
.text:150302D2                 mov     eax, [ebp+var_C]
.text:150302D5                 cmp     eax, ebx
.text:150302D7                 jz      short loc_150302E2
.text:150302D9                 cmp     eax, 5          ; jump is taken here
.text:150302DC                 jb      loc_15030369
[/code]
for now, i patch eax from 1 to 5 at 302D9
I'm under the impression that the rest of the code would run just fine with/without the success of SFileAuthenticateArchive, since it's just a validity check after all, but after it's loaded, DllMain is called, SnpQuery is called twice, then DllMain again.
Here's my code (so far) for my snp:

[code]
unsigned long bnet_dword = 'LOLZ';
const char *bnet_string = "SC IRC Rofl";
const char *bnet_infostring = "blahblahblah blah blah blah blahddy blah blah blah, bladdy blah blah. blarg blarg ah.";
                            //"An active connection to an Internet provider, or a direct connection to the Internet.";
int bnet_numlist[] = {
0x24, /*sizeof this structure*/
0x20000000,
0x200,
0x10,
0x100,
0x5DC, /*1500*/
0x1F4, /*500*/
4,
2
};

Apparently there's an access violation somewhere along the road a bit later (ebx is 1 at 4DE037) , after the dll's been detached. I must be doing something wrong.. anybody have a clue whatsup?

it is kinda early in the morning but shouldn't there be a ";" after your __asm nop

"nop"e!

btw, that's just there so it doesnt blab about a syntax error.

bump

Can you explain what you are actually doing?

isn't it obvious? I'm trying to make an snp that starcraft can load as multiplayer.
