That's not something I can help you with.
If you hate the servers, play on different ones. Then there's no excuse for hacking.
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "hack". If you want to play around with making simple bots for a single-player game (it's usually against the T&C for multi-player), then you should probably take a look at AutoIt http://www.autoitscript.com. It's an excellent scripting language for automating mouse clicks, keystrokes, etc.

On the other hand if you're looking to DoS someone just because you don't like the way they do something, you definitely are at the wrong place. :nono:

If you want to write hacks for games, the easiest way, is to learn assembly and get a program to read and change assembly from an exe.
other than that you're on your own.
Most of these games are very well protected;
In Valve games(CS:S included) there are many VAC(valve anti-cheat) secure servers.
Guild wars is 99.9% unhackable, the creators put allot of effort into making the game fun, and unexploitable.
In any of these situations you WILL have your account banned permanently!
Plus this really isn't the place for these stuff.


Don't go where you can't reach.

If you need to ask this question, you won't be writing any "hacks" in the near future. You will need to know much more about programming, and understand computer memory, learn to use a debugger and reverse engineering just to mention some things.
So if you're really motivated you'll probably find this information through the usual channel ;)

Basically to hack a game... I've never made or used online game hacks... Well actually I did back when i played halo custom edition, but that's kinda what people do on that game, mod and hack, but anyways you have to use assembly to read what the game is doing, then you have to change the variables stored in memory, or you can make a dll to inject to change it for you... there are lots of sights out there that teach you how to use cheat engine and make hacks.... Use google foo!

Cheat engine can get the code, but if it were an online game and you changed something, the next time the client was updated by the server it would change back because in online the important variables are kept track of by the server, and you can only use cheat engine on the exe running on your machine... I don't know how to get into the server.... although I'm sure with a little persistence and some illegal activity (Elysian Shadows does not support the conduct of illegal activities, and your on your own if you do it) you could figure it out...

EDIT: REALLY POINTING OUT THE ILLEGAL PART, my suggestion is don't persue hacking... especially if you don't know how to do it privately... Your better off making your own games or pursuing legal things... Whether you hate the server or not...
