I'll bite.

You may feel I'm "unstable" because I like to demonstrate server-related problems, but the EQEMU code-base is becoming more stable due to what the EQBrowser team found and the information I have provided EQEMU developers. Everyone who has played any Emu server knows things don't get done unless you generate attention.

I have yet to see any asset extraction tool (besides the one we created) that is able to do Models, Animations, Textures, Mats, & XML rot/scale/loc all at once.


I am assisting & contributing openly in custom client development, and have made huge strides, are you?

How to correctly report crash bugs with opcodes: Make a post with which opcodes can be used and how. If you want to provide a proof of concept crash plugin, send the source to one of the devs. If you want to include a tiny snippet, I personally have no problem, but some of the other devs might not.

How not to report crash bugs: Provide a compiled plugin in a public forum without source and not mention which opcodes cause problems.

Note: I like open disclosure on these things, but making it extremely easy for anyone to just grab the plugin and cause havoc is the wrong way to go about it. Calling devs names is also not a good thing. The thing is, more of the problems you've guys found were fixed because of the attacks you performed on servers, not you reporting them responsibly.

I have done what you described, yet the information is hidden from the public, as is anything that could make the project more stable for anyone starting a server.

It's basically the main problem with EQEMU "open-source development."

You want to gather anyone who has the time and expertise, yet keep it hidden from anyone who could contribute.

It's like a frat or sorority. Only the "cool" kids run the stable code, while everyone else is left in the dark.

If you're talking about the post you made yesterday, that would fall under doing it wrong.

Repeatedly crashing clients on P99 is also doing it wrong.

How you should of reported it since you seem to be completely incapable of understanding:

The opcodes OP_Emote and OP_GMSearchCorpse can be forged with MQ2 sending a non null-terminated payload that causes zone and client crashes.

That provides enough details so a dev can fix it, it also gives one details to build a plugin to cause problems for servers, but that's okay, we need to fix those things. The dev looking at the problem shouldn't have to open up your plugin in IDA to see what you're doing to cause crashes :P

It's deeper than that. Every instance of strlen() is sploitable.

Also in terms of r99/p99, Rogean and I don't exactly have open lines of communication.

He makes it to where I can't communicate with him, so I have to show him.

Have not and will not.

I would only call you a pal for contributing posts in my thread, whether in agreement or disagreement.
