Topic: Direct client running
Is there any way of directly starting the faldon client?
Or does it always have to either be indirectly started through the bypasser or the patcher?
....my old forum name seems to have been disabled..... :?
Re: Direct client running
Ehm, it used to be common to have a shortcut which fired the client.exe directly (just a code added in the command line or somesuch) but with ByPassers such as Spec's which find out the code needed automatically, this is (I think) not done much anymore.
May i ask why you want to bypass the bypasser? =p

*kills remote admin program*
D'you know they hijacked my computer as I was typing that first post?
Anyways, my college has implemented a restriction on exe running, any uncertified exes which have been downloaded are blocked. (that halo trial was getting a bit TOO popular)
Its possible to bypass that by typing the command in a DOS window but I'm not planning on making that general knowledge in case some idiot lets an admin find out.
However if I do something like run the game.exe it can connect to the server for the updates but when attempting to access the options (setup.exe) or the client (client.exe) through that it buggers up and declares the installation to be corrupt but which I'm reasonably sure is the exe restriction blocking it.
Do you know what command line was used?
I'm otherwise looking forward to some less entertaining evenings in college between the end of my daytime lectures and the start of my evening ones (a 12 hour day 3 times a week!!!) :x
Re: Direct client running
If you wish to run Faldon from a command prompt, you need to run it like this:
client.exe #fcCGJEGIEJOEOALDELSP
Of course you must have the prompt in the Faldon directory too. Also as Crov
mentioned the code does change, not often, and probably never again.. but
it has.
Re: Direct client running
Alright, I figured it out after searching for a while. (Been so long, heh)
You need the code '#fcCGJEGIEJOEOALDELSP' in your command line.
In a shortcut it'd be like:
"C:Program FilesFaldonclient.exe" #fcCGJEGIEJOEOALDELSP
(note how the quotes are positioned)
In a shell, just
client.exe #fcCGJEGIEJOEOALDELSP
will probably do though I havent tried, heh.
edit:
I kept this thread open a bit long, looks like Lothar beat me to it. =P
And yea Lothar, heh. Like on this old client install (still this client though) I have on my comp the code was #fcEJODAHDOJEPLPGJMSP

Re: Direct client running
Well, the code is actually an encrypted IP.. And uh Crov, 24 minutes later? 
Re: Direct client running
HOLY SHIT!
IT WORKS! :shock:
....not that I doubted you or anything 
Disabled alt port to get it working but all looks good 
Re: Direct client running
Lol.. Crov.. after searching for the code? What did you do? See Lothar posted it and that was your search =p <3

Re: Direct client running
Lothar: closer 46 mins later actually, judging by Mortus' posts timestamp.
bah... I just opened a reply and prolly did some stuff in between lol. But I checked some of my old files on my old HD actually, cuz I remembered it used to be stored in a different file, so figured I'd find out a bit about its exact form before searching in the heap of files that I got in my faldon folder nowadays. Did actually find an old shortcut i once used as by-pass method, but didn't matter since I talked to Spec and he pointed me to the patch.cfg.
Not that I really care, but meh lol. After I posed I could've of course edited my own post away, but since I put that time in it, didnt want to. 
PS. Yea, I can't resist taking bait even when I know it is.

Re: Direct client running
Ok after some research and reading the post to see no-one else has answered it...it seems what you want is:
client.exe #fcCGJEGIEJOEOALDELSP
Hope this helps and people dont go Back and edit their posts just to copy my answer.
edit:
Why would I wanna do that when I can just edit your post Jesus? ;-)

Re: Direct client running
Can someone confirm if they were able to connect to the server at about the time of this post?
Just checking something out
Re: Direct client running
What are the odds of someone trying to connect to the server at the moment of your post, also frequenting the forums, and remembering he tried to connect at THAT specific moment by the time he reads your inquiry? Not great I fear. =p

Re: Direct client running
Well yes but theres a higher chance of remembering you were on faldon at that time in general
Anyway I've been foiled again, theres a new restriction which blocks the running of cmd.exe and I suspect the faldon IP has been blocked, I'm not certain because the patcher is able to connect (and update) to something...
I dont believe it connects to the game server so I suspect its the game server's main IP thats been blocked....
On that subject, is there a different IP for the alt connection?
Re: Direct client running
not too sure on the IP issue, but I reckon its on 1 IP, theres alternate ports n stuff tho.
Tried command.exe instead of cmd.exe btw? ;-)

It is not command.exe it is cmd.exe. There is command.com, but not
.exe.

I doubt the game server's IP was blocked. What are the chances a
computer guy happens to know about Faldon to block the IP? More than
likely it is the protocol which is blocked. Yet even more likely it is the
fact that only certain protocols are allowed. The patcher works on port
80 which is used by web browsers for browsing the interenet. The
game on the other hand, does not. It runs on its own port so as to not
interefere with the servers capability of accepting web requests.
In other words, you need something that will let you get on Faldon
through port 80. Good luck.
Re: Direct client running
That sounds likely actually,
....and I doubt the game would be too happy about trying to run through port 80 even if I could find a way to force it to....

Anyway I've probably found a semi-permanent way of evading college security.
Certain connection settings are still accessible and its possible to set up a new connection to the LAN but make sure that 127.0.0.1 doesn't have to go through the filtering proxy that all internet traffic normally has to.....

Re: Direct client running
If anyone wants, here is some Python code for a patch bypasser. It'll automatically get the required encoded IP from the patch.cfg and start the game. Unlike my VB patch bypasser, it doesn't leave a window for you to close later.
#FALDON PATCH BYPASS
import os
def StartFaldon(code):
Game = "client.exe"
os.spawnl(os.P_NOWAIT,Game,Game,code)
def GetCode():
f=open('patch.cfg','rb')
data = f.read()
i = data.index('#')
j=i+2
while(True):
temp = data[i+1:j]
if (temp.isalnum()):
j+=1
else:
break
return data[i:j-1]
code = GetCode()
