RoboHacker 0.13 - Choose your hacks!

[apemanzilla]

At long last, it is time for the release of
RoboHacker 0.13 Alpha - patched to conform to rules
Now with 100% less network code!
Please read the ENTIRE thread before posting or complaining.



This special program allows you to choose what hacks you want, and then will build a client with them for you - all at the click of a button. Most hacks will continue working after an update if you reinstall them as well (most - not all) because of the way it's coded.

Without further ado:

 

- RoboHacker will only run on Windows 7 or up
- You will need a copy of Robocraft through Steam - the standalone version will not work
- You will need a copy of Java 7 or up
- You will need a version of the .NET framework (There's a 95% chance you already have it)
- You will need a version of Visual Studio (RoboHacker will tell you if you need it and how to install it)

 

Sorry for any problems with video quality. This is the first video I have ever recorded.

 

1. Download and extract RoboHacker (wait for approval first)
2. In the folder, run the file, "run_me.bat" to start RoboHacker
3. Click "Clean Game Files" - Always do this before installing hacks - this will make sure you have a clean and up-to-date version of the game.
4. Choose each hack you want. Clicking on "Available Hacks" will toggle all hacks on and off. Hover over a hack for a description.
5. Once you have selected the hacks you want, press "Install Hacks" and wait.
6. If the installation threw errors, Check the "Common Errors" spoiler. Otherwise, launch the game
7. If everything worked properly, the game should start loading. Instead of "Loading Assets", it will say "Made with RoboHacker".

If you get any problems, check the "Common Errors" spoiler.

 

Since this is still Alpha, this will probably crash or break. A lot. Check here for any possible solutions:
"Unsupported Operating System"
You need to use Windows 7 or greater. Support for Linux or OSX is planned, but low-priority.
"Could not find 'ildasm.exe'"
You need Visual Studio. Press OK and RoboHacker will open a website in your browser. On this website, click "Download" and select the .exe file ONLY - you don't need the .iso file. Then, once it finishes downloading, run it to install Visual Studio 2012. When it finishes, relaunch RoboHacker. If the problems continue, PM me.
"Could not find ilasm.exe"
For whatever reason, you seem to be missing the .NET framework. Windows usually ships with it. You can find the download for whatever version you want on Google.
"Could not find a Steam installation"
RoboHacker couldn't find Steam at its usual install area. This will probably occur if you installed Steam somewhere else. To fix it, check this post.
"Could not find a Robocraft installation"
RoboHacker couldn't find Robocraft at its usual install area. If you have it installed in another location and would like help, PM me.
"The following hacks failed to load: ..."
Some hacks couldn't be loaded. They may be outdated or just written wrong. PM me.
"An error was encountered while generating the client."
There are many reasons this could happen. PM me.
"An error occurred while installing."
There are many reasons this could happen. PM me.
"Some hacks failed to install. ..."
This is shown when RoboHacker cannot install a selected hack for whatever reason. It is usually due to either a recent game update that broke the hacks, or attempting to install hacks on a client already hacked (This is why you need to clean the files each time!)
Your best bet is to wait and watch the forums for an update to the specific hacks that failed. If you suspect it is a different problem, PM me.

If you get a problem not listed here, send me a PM so I can help you fix it.

These are people who helped with RoboHacker development in any way.
Me - I coded everything and stuff!
moot_ - Was a great help with pre-release testing and helped with the code some too
Wolfeo - Contributed some of the hacks and helped test
TDOdirector - Helped with a lot of pre-release testing and helped me squash several big bugs

 

In 0.13, I have removed the Commons IO library which contained network code. This version now contains no network code. It will use a browser protocol request to take users to the download page for VS 2012, but this means it cannot access the internet itself - the download and installation is fully based on the end user's interaction. It will also use Steam protocol requests (steam://) to validate and redownload game files (Steam does this, not RoboHacker) but only when the button is clicked by the end-user.

Wait for a moderator to approve the download!

@Color, here's the new version without netcode.

[Destarianon]

SWEET, i'll test this as soon as it gets approved.

[MillitaryDragon]

Nicely done, hope this goes well.

Great job.

Great job, looks like you're pretty good at Java.

I actually kind of suck at Java, I just suck at it less than most other languages...

Did you install Steam somewhere other than the default installation path? It can't find it if you did.

[xFrankLucianox]

Yeah I did, is there any possible way I could "redirect" it so it can find my custom installation path?

Why do you need it? All of the included cheats work fine without it.

[Minecraftian441]

When I open run_me it says "Error: Could not find 'ildasm.exe'. Press OK to go to the download page for Visual Studio 2012. (ildasm.exe is part of Visual Studio 2012. Download and run ONLY 'wdexpress_full.exe' - not the .ISO - after pressing OK.)"

Please help
