Deobfuscating Earlier Mods

[Asweez]

There is a 1.2.5 mod that I want to deobfuscate and it doesn't have any of the gradle stuff like the newer versions. I tried BON and that didn't work. The files weren't deobfuscated. I think this is because it doesn't have the same file structure that BON was looking for. How do I get this mod's source code? Or if I can't do the whole thing at once, is there any program that will deobfuscate individual files?

Yeah if you want to deobsfucate a 1.2.5 mod you're pretty RIP. The files you need to deobsfucate mods from 3 years ago aren't available to download anymore. I do have a really old copy of Minecraft modding from back then if you want it.

 

But srs this is a problem, without the old copy you simply can't deobsfucate old mods because of the MCP, Modloader Modloader MP, and Forge mess that was modding.

I feel like mentioning that difference between 1.2.5 and current, especially 1.8 is SO BIG that updating or even reading old sources will bring none of there: 1. results (impossible to update); 2. knowledge (too outdated).

 

You would be better of rewriting from nothing whole mod based on idea. Seriously, NOTHING is same. From basic stuff like Item, Block, TE, through packeting, data handling like IEEP to rendering which is even different from 1.7.10-1.8.

What about the models?

[ShetiPhian]

Blocks and items would be incompatible and faster to remake vs convert.

 

Entity models I believe haven't changed much (if at all) you can use jd-gui or similar program to view those files.

But all the methods and fields are obfuscated. How do I deobfuscate those model classes?

wat is the mod that you want? link

[Asweez]

Why?

Without the MCP mappings and such from that point in time available you won't be able to deobfuscate, period.

 

If you really want the model files you're going to have to manually translate it by doing a side by side (this obfuscated method looks like this vanilla one) and transfer over the specific values such as box sizes and rotation offsets

I kept a copy of my old mappings m8. I can deobstucate the mod for you for like a gift card

[Asweez]

I'm not paying for anything. Is there any chance of could just send the file to me and I would do the deobfuscating myself?

How would I get a vanilla 1.2.5 model class for reference?

Eh for 1 gift card I'd do it. Hate to tell you but unless you also kept files from 1.2.5 you can't deobsfucate. Tell me what mod you want deobsfucated

[Draco18s]

Dude, the old mappings aren't yours to sell.

[thebest108]

Not like anybody else has them. I dont need this

User was banned for 7 days for attempting to sell an open source project/data that wasn't his -.-

Seriously are you fucking retarded?

MCP is archived on MCP's website you can obtain the data for it anywhere. Also git contains all old data so you can gather things from there.

Seriously tho. You should just start from scratch a 1.2.5 mod will be in no way compatible with 1.8 world. It would be easier to start from scratch.

End of topic.
