KoC-FR Toolbox

This software is a remote connector to an online php-based MMORPG game (KoC).
It allows you to login to the online game from a GUI and perform several actions, assisted by the software IA.

Please note that this program has been developed for PROGRAMMING CHALLENGES only.
The use of this kind of tool is totally forbidden under the KoC Rules and is liable to get your account banned.

First demonstration (login, scan)

Second demonstration (scan, spy, attack, buy)

This toolbox allows to manage several accounts on the Kings of Chaos online massive multiplayer game.
You can log into your account(s), and scan up to 300 pages at the same time (in a few seconds) to find players with lots of Gold.
Besides, there is a DA (Defensive Action) centralized database, so you can spy enemies directly form the software, and update the information about the enemy DA in the database automatically.
The information is then shared among the players authorized to use the software.

You can also directly attack the enemies from the software and spend your gold.

This first video also shows the first authentication of the users, that first connects to a remote database (KoC-FR's one) to check if he/she is allowed to use the program.
Once the user is allowed to user the software, the GUI shows up.
It prevents unwanted players to use the software.

Arbitrage Program

This is a demonstration of my Arbitrage Program:

This program is checking if there is an arbitrage opportunity.
Based on two different betting websites, it calculates if there is a "sure bet" or not.
There is a sure bet if the sure bet number is inferior to 1.

You just need to select the competition (only 3 competitions implemented so far, but adding competitions is not a big deal) and SCAN!
The results is then displayed to you.

An evolution of the software would be to check every X seconds and actually really automatically bet on the websites if a sure bet is found.
But this is dealing with real money and probably illegal so my tool is only a simulation tool!

Software developed with Qt/C++.
Binaries are available on Windows and Linux (require additional installation of OpenSSL and Visual C++ redistributables on Windows, if you do not have them).

x264, FFMpeg, wxWidgets et Aegisub RPMs pour Fedora 13

Aegisub is a powerful subtitle editor.
However, there is no official deb or rpm to install it easily on Debian and Red Hat based OS so we have to install it from the sources.

Many people have problems installing from the sources and getting everything to work as they want.
I recently compiled a working version of Aegisub on Linux Fedora Core 13 x86_64 and wanted to share the generated rpm.

This version is meant to work with a custom version of x264 and ffmpeg (built on today's snapshot, Aug. 22nd 2010) that decodes/encodes a wide range of audio and video codecs, including both free and non-free codecs.

The configure used during the compilation of ffmpeg and the codecs available from this build are shown here: ffmpeg-formats.txt
As you can see, this build is able to en/decode most of the video/audio formats.

To install Aegisub with this build of ffmpeg (and x264), just install the following rpms from the web browser:
x264-0.27-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm
libnut-0.0.0-1_r661.fc13.x86_64.rpm
ffmpeg-0.6-3.fc13.x86_64.rpm
wxWidgets-2.9.0-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm
aegisub-2.1.8-4749.fc13.x86_64.rpm

Or with these command lines (as root or sudo):

su -
wget http://rpms.dallagnese.fr/x264-0.27-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm \
     http://rpms.dallagnese.fr/libnut-0.0.0-1_r661.fc13.x86_64.rpm \
     http://rpms.dallagnese.fr/ffmpeg-0.6-3.fc13.x86_64.rpm \
     http://rpms.dallagnese.fr/wxWidgets-2.9.0-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm \
     http://rpms.dallagnese.fr/aegisub-2.1.8-4749.fc13.x86_64.rpm \

yum -y install --nogpgcheck x264-0.27-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm \
               libnut-0.0.0-1_r661.fc13.x86_64.rpm \
               ffmpeg-0.6-3.fc13.x86_64.rpm \
               wxWidgets-2.9.0-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm \
               aegisub-2.1.8-4749.fc13.x86_64.rpm

If you want more details about these packages, you can check the packages installations step by step:

1. x264

Directly from the web browser: x264-0.27-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm

Or through command lines (as root or sudo):

wget http://rpms.dallagnese.fr/x264-0.27-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm
yum -y install --nogpgcheck x264-0.27-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm

2. FFMpeg

Directly from the web browser:
libnut-0.0.0-1_r661.fc13.x86_64.rpm (required by this ffmpeg build)
ffmpeg-0.6-3.fc13.x86_64.rpm

Or through command lines (as root or sudo):

wget http://rpms.dallagnese.fr/ffmpeg-0.6-3.fc13.x86_64.rpm \
     http://rpms.dallagnese.fr/libnut-0.0.0-1_r661.fc13.x86_64.rpm \

yum -y install --nogpgcheck ffmpeg-0.6-3.fc13.x86_64.rpm \
               libnut-0.0.0-1_r661.fc13.x86_64.rpm

3. wxWidgets

Before installing Aegisub, we need to install a recent version of wxWidgets.
Aegisub final version 2.1.8 (rev 4749) works only with wxWidgets 2.9+ and the last officially supported version of wxWidgets on Fedora is (as today) is 2.8.11.

Directly from the web browser: wxWidgets-2.9.0-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm

Or through command lines (as root or sudo):

wget http://rpms.dallagnese.fr/wxWidgets-2.9.0-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm
yum -y install --nogpgcheck wxWidgets-2.9.0-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm

Now it's time to install Aegisub!

4 Aegisub

Directly from the web browser: aegisub-2.1.8-4749.fc13.x86_64.rpm

Or through command lines (as root or sudo):

yum -y install --nogpgcheck aegisub-2.1.8-4749.fc13.x86_64.rpm

N.B.:

This is my first time making RPMs from my compilations, so this is not guaranteed to work!
If you try, please give me some feedback on how it works.

And please give me any comments, suggestions or critics you have!

Watch copy-protected DVD on Fedora 13

Even though you installed the last version of VideoLAN VLC, it may happen that you are not able to read DVDs that have a copy protection.

The trick to get this to work is to install the libdvdcss library (which is not in the official repositories).
You can find this library on the ATrpms.

To install the library:

wget http://dl.atrpms.net/all/libdvdcss2-1.2.10-5.fc13.x86_64.rpm http://dl.atrpms.net/all/libdvdcss-1.2.10-5.fc13.x86_64.rpm
yum install libdvdcss-1.2.10-5.fc13.x86_64.rpm \
            libdvdcss2-1.2.10-5.fc13.x86_64.rpm

Enjoy!
