Wrapper for the Club Penguin flash client to make custom loading easier.

How does it work?

Using Flash's various built-in amenities it:

  • Sets up usage of ExternalInterface calls
  • Creates a hook that is called every time a new SWF is loaded.
  • Waits for the global client components to load (shell, engine, interface, crumbs, airtower, etc).
  • Modifies various functions, static variables, etc after each component is loaded.

What does it do?

By default:

  • Gets rid of chat restrictions (case transformation, character restrictions, bumps up message length limit).
  • Replaces the login server information with data of your own choosing.
  • Sets up the game with your media server paths.

What else can be done?

A few examples:

  • You can modify the airtower as soon as it loads, meaning you can define custom messages and even reroute or remove default ones.
  • You can modify the login process - skip world selection, auto-login, etc.
  • You can modify crumbs on the fly. You can have the server define crumbs or even add new ones for individual players.
  • Modify anything accessible from the _global or _levelN contexts.

But I can decompile what I need to change, why use this?

A few different reasons:

  • This requires no decompilation whatsoever.
  • This is distributable, whereas any of Disney's SWFs are not.
  • Tracking changes across loads of decompiled files is difficult, this consolidates them and makes it easier.
