I was just wondering, I've never really went about to reverse anything and was browsing the source code and noticed a lot of specific functions are grabbed from the game, how did Nta/anyone go about finding these addresses? Prior knowledge of another game etc?

But I get ignored lol.

The patches... the patches... the fucking patches... They were everywhere. There was no escape possible. Every memory region full of these patches. Now, it were not only those that dared enter the land of the iw4m.exe process that suffered from these patches, but also ...

i am not sure so don't quote me o this but i think it was nta that made iw4m.exe

so he probably implemented those functions

why did you think you had to download another executable (or use the newest if you were using the mp rip from aiw)

patches of grass?

Oh great, I provoked his PTSD. Not a whole lot of legitimate answers up in here :/

Well who's to say that i wouldn't understand? I mean I've written assemblers and compilers along with a toy x86 operating system. That's very presumptuous to assume I wouldn't understand.

Well I'm talking about the addresses that reference routines and various other structures and objects in the original executive.

You can learn it at school

They teach you how to RE at your school? o.O
