My friend Bosco has joined the winmxworld. He's a programmer. He's the one that's going to help me with everything. Give him a message. He's a pretty cool guy!
camlan: you are going to need some programming skills and a compiler to start.. then you'll need the api for nushi which... um.. hmm.. is probably in japanese and lost in the wayback machine, but the source code to a few plugins is in the archive that you could probably reverse engineer..
The untouched Nushi should have the 64 or 216 but the one I posted about was one we had patched before from the patched items folder in the archive, sadly now out of date in some cases.
I'm going to try and learn more about hexediting. if you guys are willing to help me learn I'll do whatever you guys need me to do. Starting tonight I'm going to try and build a plugin for Nushichat. a link plugin that will actually work. I've been watching Youtube video's on how to do it. It might take me a little while but I'm going to keep trying. one of my friends has a friend willing to help. I'm also planning to build the RCMS dll's for windows 10. I hope you guys don't mind. I just want to try to help. I love WinMX. Thanks Cam
I agree there is a need for such an activity, back in the day of the original crash I undertook src rebuilding / editing for those items that had the src available & hex editing for those items that had no clear author trail but given the time span since then a few things have changed and I hope demonstrate why we asked folks not to use static IP's in the first place , it is obvioulsy easier to swap a URL to another server than it is to have to edit up stuff every change but of course we had no choice in many cases given the fixed space within the excutable for editing.
The editing by hex takes little time however theres a paperwork trail on other items given that you have to mark any changes to open src and release the changes etc thus potentially neccesitating in some cases a whole new package release.
In the majority of cases we took the simplest route and issued either a stand alone exe file that had been updated or an installer that swapped the older version for a newer one that had been edited, and these are the types of update we placed in the archive.
If we have a list of files that require updating or rework then we could mark them with a new "2020" tag so folks could grab what they need, I am happy to do the work if others are happy to point out the relevant files.
gs: we need a 'hexedited' directory in the archive that has the versions of the tools that see the most use patched to the newest ips... at this point in time (2020) i dont think the original authors would care... if they are even around to be found anymore... ... the ws2 patch needs a note on the website that says it only works with xp and older too...
Yes very much! I was adding more plugins. They are awesome. The only one that crashes it is the link plugin, I'm going to see what I can do with it. I'm going to try it in an older version of nushi on my XP VM. see if it works there.
