Well, I'm not exactly sure how to out this, so I will just say it...

I've been recently learning how to change the packets inside a game. I am not going to say what game it is, or what I was doing. Because it is considered a form of hacking. But, before you go "zOMG teH H4ckz!!11 baN him!11! I am going to say this. I am not hacking the game for exploits or benefits for me. I could care less for a few more pixels saying I am at "X" amount.

What I am doing, is changing spells properties via WPE Pro by editing packets, and changing them to something else. But, what I am trying to figure out, if it is possible to change units and other things of that sort.

I have been dabbling with Starcraft, and I am able to select a marine, and out comes a battlecruiser. The price of the battlecruiser is the same, although the requirements must be met... Etc...

What I am asking is, what is the next step in editing the engine? I know my request/question is vague, but I am not sure where I should go next.

FYI, I am not develpoing hacks and the like, I am just getting curious with the way the engine works, and how I can alter it.

On a side note:
The testing is in single player.


If this thread is considered "dangerous" I will not mind if it be locked. But, if it is, can the moderator or someone PM me in where I should go next?

How about you PM me with what you've done, how you've done it, and what it is that you want to do. Basically, if you've done what I've think you've done, I want it for Firegraft(I have a good Idea, but packets aren't my strongest suit of exe editing). I've got an Idea of what you've done, but I'd rather know exactly what it is.

Well, I was testing this afternoon. And it turns out that Blizzards server is different from the other server I was using. And the packets that are being sent, are definitley not the correct ones. In 10 minutes, there were 2 packets sent.

So, I am going to try and see what I can do.

But, the bad thing is... I may have discovered another serious hack. Maybe it will get us 1.14?

I may close this thread, because I really do not want this to spread to the wrong people.

@Broodkiller and DoA...

Please PM me if you would like to help. I am almost 100% certain that you'll be able to help. And I am positive I can trust you.
