jpexs-decompiler VS installer

If you're lucky, the developers will have used a standard format to store their assets and you can just use an existing asset extractor to do the dirty work for you: Unreal, Unity, and Flash (.swf) are some of the most popular ones.

I recently found an awesome flash decompiler[0] and used it to get around site-locking on some swfs I downloaded years ago.

Some swfs require files from the sites they are hosted on but I downloaded them and modified the swfs to find these files on a local server instead.

So cool being able to modify the source code whereas back in the day I had to rely on hex editing to invert conditionals.

jindrapetrik/jpexs-decompiler: JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler (github.com)

JPEXS ffDec is amazing for decompiling them: https://github.com/jindrapetrik/jpexs-decompiler/releases

You can use "inspect element" on the page in Chrome to find the swf. Once you've got it, you can use JPEXS to dump the sound files.

For future reference, you can also extract contents of SWF files using the free program ffDec.

but if anyone finds this and is curious, JPEXS decompiler is by far the best option. https://github.com/jindrapetrik/jpexs-decompiler

I wanted to change the art that is displayed on the loading screen and wanted to ask if I'm doing it the right way. So far the instructions I've found have directed me to use something called UNREALPAK to unpack the Game.pak file, then look for the loadingScreen.swf file and decompile it with this program. After that I should be able to replace the image and, I assume, recompile and repack the loadingScreen.swf and Game.pak files respectively. Does this sound right? If so, where do I find the "UNREALPAK" tool/program? Is there a better tool/program to use for decompiling the loadingScreen.swf file? And if this isn't the correct process, would anyone be able to help me determine the best way to do this? Any help would be appreciated.

The best current flash player to use is CleanFlash since it's based on the flash player used in China which is still receiving security updates.

You can use something like Flashpatch to patch the stupid timebomb out of Adobe Flash or you can download a pre-patched version known as CleanFlash which is based on the China exclusive Flash player 34 (which is still supported today) but with the region lock, adware, and timebombs patched out.

An alternative to the many emulators is Clean Flash Player, which is still fully featured. I personally don't think the issues flash has are worse than the issues getting modern flash content to play in an emulator

It's mainly just repackaged official Adobe releases from mainland china where it wasn't discontinued (Adobe did try but ended up going back on the decision because a lot of Chinese digital infrastructure depends on Flash support), CleanFlash is just a version of that patched to remove the timebomb and GeoLocking so it can be used outside of China with a custom Gui installer to make things especially easy.

Certain projects take advantage of that like Flashpatch which patches out Adobe Flash the DRM in Adobe flash as well as the time bomb and CleanFlash Installer which allows you to install a modified version of Adobe flash from flash.cn without the Geolock and Adware requirement. However if you would like to use any of these projects you will need a legacy browser that supports them like Basilisk, Palemoon, and SeaMonkey Since most modern browsers don't support NPAPI plugins anymore.

Have you tried the Serpent (Basilisk 52) browser with CleanFlash installed?

It may be down on Github, but not on Gitlab.
