Introduction
I'm writing here with an offer to any of you feeling capable of reverse-engineering a game, but strictly for purposes of extending functionality. I am talking of an MMO in its alpha stage - Armada Online (http://www.armada-online.com). I am the co-runner of the ArmadaHQ (http://www.armadahq.com), a wiki for that game. I've already started planning, overviewing and designing the client side of the program, however I am not yet experienced in RCEing an advanced application such as Armada Online. I am learning pretty much every day, reversing and testing, however the final goal is to get to a point where all data/code is to be located/extracted automatically using code/data patterns (such as fixed-in-code textual references).
Offer
So, my offer is this: would you like to join this project and commit some of your valuable time to its success? Remember, that at the end, when game goes commercial, we will have a high chance of selling this tool (I call it AOAssist, along the lines of UOAssist for Ultima Online MMORPG) to prospective players wishing to enhance and improve their gaming experience. Also, while working on this project, you will gain valuable knowledge of reversing modern 3D-based games - and so will I - and will be able to put that onto your resume or into personal achievements portfolio.
Do you choose to accept it?
If you'd like to participate, even a tiny bit, contact me here or by e-mail. I am also avaliable for comments at ArmadaHQ or Armada-Online forums with same nickname.
Kind regards,
Acolyte
