Combat Arms Rez Patcher - Rez Bypass

[SoNoS]

Hello...

As you know, when rez files get modified, the game kicks you. This tool fixes that:

It's possible using something called "hash collision" (look it up), which simply means making the game think that the modded rez file is the same as the original rez file, so it doesn't kick you out.

Instructions are written in the program.
Credit goes to @nolith for providing insight of how hash collisions work.

In order to run the program, you need Java 8+!

Despite the program not being approved yet, several new changes and features have been added to the program. These include the ability to verify whether your files have been patched correctly or not, as well as the ability to unpatch previously patched rez files if you've lost the original unpatched modded files. The instructions have been moved to the help menu, and a progress bar with a percentage display has been added. Finally, the program now features a default Windows look instead of Java.

@meme Sorry to bother you, but is there any reason why this hasn't been approved*yet?

@meme who is moderator of this forum?

Hope someone approves this. Valofe watches other places too much for this to be released elsewhere

Not sure if they still have active mods who can look into the attachment for combat arms.. lets hope it gets accepted soon

@SoNoS

Your program is in the queue currently awaiting to be approved. Because there is no assigned staff in this section, only the Global Moderators and above can approve it.

Hi, I got the first POC for adler32 hash collision in february, I'm glad you were able to reproduce it and still add a UI, I was going to release just a simple console, but you made the UI faster, thanks and great job with the project.

Gonna be some crappy weather this coming week where I live... I might see what I can do again...

"java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "String.getBytes()" because "s" is null"

"Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "String.getBytes()" because "s" is null"

I'm trying to edit the recon vests, it just breaks half way in, why is this happening?
