Now that you mention it, file+100 is probably more than 2GB away from newmem which causes the instruction cmp [BOOL],1 to fail (it's not encodable). Pass it back via a register (i.e. eax) instead, or just put it inline like I suggested.

Yeah I noticed that and I fixed it Very Happy

I also just now noticed you're swapping rax and rcx by popping them in the wrong order. Elements are accessed from the stack on a last-in-first-out basis.

I also fixed this in the edit.

If PathFileExists always returns 0, then it's always failing to find the file specified. Try executing my example script in the game but instead of CE's path use '..\Loadr\FileName.txt',0

I got it, the Get Path thingy starts at the root directory, so I don't need the '..\', I fixed this by lea rcx,[DATA+3] instead of DATA

THANK YOU SO MUCH I NOW HAVE A FULLY WORKING DLC LOADER Very Happy

here's the code for those interested:
I expanded it to support 128 characters.

Code:

alloc(newmem,2048,"MK10.exe"+13FF5C4)
alloc(DATA,512)
label(returnhere)
label(originalcode)
label(exit)
label(file)
label(BOOL)
label(X0Backup)

DATA+90:
BOOL:
dd 424F4F4C

DATA+80:
X0Backup:
DB ?

newmem: //this is allocated memory, you have read,write,execute access
//place your code here
movaps [X0Backup],xmm0 //BACKUP XMM0
movaps [DATA],xmm0
movaps xmm1,[rax-70]
movaps [DATA+10],xmm1
//Expand Max Charachter Size
movaps xmm0,[rax-60]
movaps [DATA+20],xmm0
movaps xmm1,[rax-50]
movaps [DATA+30],xmm1
movaps xmm0,[rax-40]
movaps [DATA+40],xmm0
movaps xmm1,[rax-30]
movaps [DATA+50],xmm1
movaps xmm0,[rax-20]
movaps [DATA+60],xmm0
movaps xmm1,[rax-10]
movaps [DATA+70],xmm1

cmp [DATA],'..\A'
jnz originalcode
cmp [DATA+4],'sset'
jnz originalcode
cmp Byte Ptr [DATA+8],'\'
jnz originalcode
mov [DATA+3],'Load'
mov Word Ptr [DATA+7],'r\'

call file //Try to open ..\Loadr\YourFile
cmp [BOOL],1
jnz originalcode

movaps xmm0,[DATA]
movaps xmm1,[DATA+10]
movaps [rdx-80],xmm0
movaps [rdx-70],xmm1
movaps xmm0,[DATA+20]
movaps xmm1,[DATA+30]
movaps [rdx-60],xmm0
movaps [rdx-50],xmm1
movaps xmm0,[DATA+40]
movaps xmm1,[DATA+50]
movaps [rdx-40],xmm0
movaps [rdx-30],xmm1
movaps xmm0,[DATA+60]
movaps xmm1,[DATA+70]
movaps [rdx-20],xmm0
movaps [rdx-10],xmm1
jmp "MK10.exe"+13FF600

file:
push rcx //Backup All 3 Registers
push rax
push rdx
sub rsp,20
lea rcx,[DATA+3]
call SHLWAPI.PathFileExistsA
mov [BOOL],eax
add rsp,20
pop rdx
pop rax
pop rcx
ret

originalcode:
movaps xmm0,[X0Backup] //RESTORE XMM0
movaps [rdx-80],xmm0
movaps xmm1,[rax-70]

exit:
jmp returnhere

"MK10.exe"+13FF5C4:
jmp newmem
nop
nop
nop
returnhere:

You can use 'GetFileAttributes' instead which is exported from kernel32.dll and guaranteed to be available in every process. If the function fails, it will return 'INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES' which allows you to determine if the file is on disk or not. You can also pull the specific reason for failing from GetLastError. If you need more info see: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364944(v=vs.85).aspx _________________ - Retired.
