AlliedModders - ★★★ All the methods to decompile an AMXX plugin ★★★

Hello.

Today I'm going to show you all 3 methods to decompile a plugin which work with the last AMX Mod X version.

I will take every method, from the easiest to hardest. I placed different plugins for every method because not every plugin is "universal" (example: perhaps a plugin won't be decompiled with the first method, so you must use the second or the third method).

Before we begin, I must underline that there is no method to decompile and show you 100% the entire plugin (a plugin can be decompiled and edited until you reach a point with the second and third method). And of course, because there is decompilation, there is also anti-decompilation: you put a code in the source to block decompiling. Let's begin:

1. Lysis:

Original post: Lysis

Download: MediaFire

Steps:

1. Enter in the "Lysis" folder.

2. There is the compiled plugin "target_info.amxx". We will hold it and place it into "LysisDecompile.exe" (basically we open it with LysisDecompile).

3. After that operation, there will be a .txt file with the same name of the plugin. In that file will be a very large part of the plugin's source, but not entirely part. Enjoy.

NOTE: I did not study the anti-decompiling codes for this method, but there are codes that block the decompilation process and many plugins that cannot be decompiled with this method.

2. AMXX UnCompress:

Original post: [TOOL] AMXX UnCompress 1.0

Download: MediaFire

Steps:

1. Enter in the "AMXX UnCompress 1.1" folder.

2. There is the compiled plugin "SayBind_Blocker.amxx". We will hold it and place it into "amxx_uncompress.exe" (basically we open it with amxx_uncompress).

There will be show a black window where the decompiling process takes that should be last more than 3 seconds. There will be also 2 more files.

3. Delete the file "SayBind_Blocker.amxx".

4. After we completed the step from above, we will work in 2 files:

Code:

SayBind_Blocker.memory

SayBind_Blocker.raw

In the file "SayBind_Blocker.memory" we will edit whatever we want (basically it is the .amxx file decompiled)

5. Save and exit.

6. To compile the new .amxx file, hold "SayBind_Blocker.raw" file and place it into "amxx_uncompress.exe".

7. Enjoy.

NOTE: For anti-decompiling, place in the plugin's source the next string:

Code:

server_print("no_amxx_uncompress")

NOTE 2: This method is good to remove the license (IP or DNS) from a plugin.

3. amxxdump:

Original post: amxxdump

Download: MediaFire

Steps:

1. Enter in the "amxxdump" folder.

2. Go in the "bin" folder and notice that there are the necessary program's files and the plugin "target_info.amxx" (the one from first method).

3. Copy all the "amxxdump" folder in:

Code:

My Computer\Local Disk (C:)

There is no necessary the C: local disk, you can put in another one, but I used that because it is easier for me.

4. Go in Start and open "cmd.exe" (command.exe).

5. If you put the "amxxdump" folder in local disk C:, type the next command, if you did not, adapt the command:

Code:

cd "C:\amxxdump\bin"

6. Then type the next command which will show you the available parameters:

Code:

amxxdump -?

7. Start editing the plugin. Example of command using a parameter:

Code:

amxxdump -x target_info.amxx

8. Enjoy.

NOTE: I did not study the anti-decompiling codes for this method, but I don't think there is one as I decompiled many plugins using this method.
