Guys, you can modify client.exe yourself using a decent hex editor.
Make sure you keep the string sizes the same.
Basically, replace "www.whatismyip.com" with "www.aos.lexsym.com" (thanks for whoever gave that site), and replace "/automation/n09230945.asp" with "/returnip.php????????????" WITH ALL THE QUESTION MARKS (to preserve string length).

Haven't tested it yet. If you don't have a decent hex editor, use Notepad++, but don't use notepad (won't preserve binaryness and stuffs)

Note: if Ben doesn't like you modifying client.exe then don't do it. I know no such rules though...

^^ Tried that and it failed... Killed my AoS and now re-installing.

Okay, I've found that it's not working, possibly the code uses some sort of hash algorithm to check that server.exe and client.exe match, I'm not sure how that works.
(Anyone working on pyspades give us a hint?)

Modifying server.exe works though, I'm running the server "see forum and listen to marty".

Same, IT WON'T LET ME IN!!!

Huh? Did you guys use a hex editor and preserve string lengths?
(And make a backup...)

i hope 0.50 is out tomoro

Ohh pyspades gave me some hints, client.exe uses crc32 lmao.

i don't know how to use hex editor

I'll just sticky this topic so ben reads it's important.

@doomdude: Don't worry anymore, it doesn't work anyway. There's a version mismatch, I don't quite know why though. I'm leaving it; Ben can fix it.

dam >.>

ah

well going to play league of legends

me combat arms...... or minecraft

NOTE: I’m looking into an IP lookup error, expect an update soon

Good.
