Have you tried to write your own mir3 launcher? I tried couple of times and I didn't worked :/ But if we exchange our observations and experience we could succeed :P
I noticed that:
*default launcher is packed with PE_Patch and it's hard to disasseble it
*running game without launcher causes strange "map of China" screen :P
*when running normal, at first holleymir3.exe has "Legend Of Mir 3" title but when we click FIRST (NO MATTER WHICH) LETTER it changes title to "[holley mir3.......... with date"
*launcher starts holleymir3.exe with parameters "-u -c"
*if you write program which runs game with this parameters it will look good but game won't change title and it will be black screen after server notice
*when you write that program (^) and run default launcher in backgroud game will work normally
*launcher exe name can be changed
*default laucher checks if anyone app has the same title as launcher's exe name (if yes it throws that client already runs)
*in 5.0 holley client there is new launcher and it don't change game's title and runs correctly (game draws normally)
hypothesis:
#launcher and game don't communicate on ports (95% sure)
#game don't check if launcher class exist (sure)
#maybe launcher puts hook on keyboard and waits on first click (almost impossible)
What are your observations? Share your ideas :P
