How to rip textures from Shaiya
I recently came across a relatively new MMORPG called Shaiya from Aeria Games. The first thing that came to my mind was, “I’ve got to build a bot for this game.” Instead of taking the long and grueling route of reverse engineering incoming/outgoing packets and having to deal with updated versions of the game (blah blah BLAH,) I’m taking the easier way out and building a bot using the AutoIt3 scripting language. With AutoIt, one could simulate keystrokes, mouse clicks, mouse movements, and various other naturally occurring Windows events. While tinkering with the game for a few days, I found a way to get a hold of the game’s textures. These can be used for any number of reasons but I’m going to use these for color tracking.
