Monster Cards(Book)

Current states of Monster Book is that everything packet related are there, but the trouble we have now is the book opening, which is 100% client. Seeing there's no 62 .exe available that is fully cracked in sense client coding is readable, an easy way to find a "switch" to open it is not there yet. However, maybe in late future phnx looks into it and we can find a way to open it client sided.

P.S: Monster Books is probably my most favourite thing from "new" maple. I really love collecting things.

I am very positive all the packets required otherwise to make it work are supported by the 0.62 client, similar how 0.56 already had the pirate data, even though it was released at 0.62.

 

Like I said: its not by a packet; pretty sure its 100% by client (like opening guild window, equip window, etc) 0.62 has it disabled (or so we believe) because it was not released yet, so someone need figure out if there's a way to find a flag within the client to enable it or something.

Default 0.62 .wz files has all MonsterBook data including mentions of it in the client (even button in keyconfig that does nothing), and the packets (like collecting, etc), so I am positive by 95% that Monsterbook is possible to be 100% working within a 0.62 client. Also, it wouldn't have been too hard if not for this one last client struggle we got with getting it to open.

 

Rejected for now only because I don't think it is completely possible. If we ever find a solution, we will give it a shot, but it's something we'll do only when we get to that point.

 

Still trying my hardest making this a possibility, even though it was released on v0.67. I am receiving some outside help from someone researching the game client. Currently we still ran into some problems, so its not 100% done yet. The current state is that if it happen that we maybe need release a separate client with it enabled, because right now we can only make the Monsterbook window appear by replacing something else (ex: World Map, Quest Window..) which is not the cleanest way. Its a shame, because everything server (I believe) and client sided (for sure) besides opening the book is there, just hard disabled by Neckson because it was not available yet in GMS (while it was in KMS at the time).

Anyway, here's two screenshots with the book opened, on a v0.62 client:



Like you see, besides opening the book all the stuff is there, full functional.

Progress, but don't have your hopes up too high yet. Also, server sided stuff would need to be coded still, and we currently have other priorities up first.

 

Moved from not possible to accepted.

And countless thanks to a 3rd party for finding the memory address to open Monsterbook (which is normally disabled in v0.62), Lily for hardcode hacking it into the client, Poofcakes for coding the server-sided part of Monsterbooks, and Slime for improving the interface that Neckson did pretty poorly
