This is a collection of tools that aim to make patching Tanki Online client binaries more convenient.
- disasm.py: Fetches client binaries from Tanki Online servers and disassembles the specified scripts into a separate branch.
- build.py: Builds patched client from disassembled sources.
- build_patch.py: Builds a patch file from disassembled sources.
Tanki Online updates frequently, by using build_patch.py you can export your changes to a patch file, this allows effortless porting of these changes across updates. Once you're happy with your changes, run build.py and it will generate a patched SWF file. You can load it with the "Map Local" feature of Charles Proxy, for example.
disasm.py makes use of additional binaries that must be present in a folder named bin.
- RABCDAsm: Extract the latest release to
bin. - JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler: Extract the latest release to
bin/ffdec.
Patches are included in this repository that aid in reverse engineering and data mining. Summary of a notable few:
- entrance_pcap.patch: Outputs ingoing and outgoing packets to the Flash debugger trace file.
- entrance_pcap_air.patch: Port of the previous patch for the Adobe AIR (Steam) version of the game.
The trace file will be written to
%AppData%\TankiOnline\Local Store\flashlog.txt - entrance_dumpMaps.patch: Marks all available maps as enabled and dumps them to the trace file as JSON. Match creation details will also be dumped as JSON (BattleCreateModel). Note: The server will ignore any requests to create matches with maps that are disabled.
- entrance_bypassMigrationDialog.patch: Stops the HTML5 migration dialog from appearing. No longer works as of 2020/12/11.
- game_dumpMaps.patch: Must be used in conjunction with
entrance_dumpMaps.patch. Dumps details about maps as they are loaded in-game to the trace file as JSON (BattleMapModel). - game_allBuyable.patch: Shows unobtainable items in the garage. This is a client-side only effect, they cannot actually be purchased.
