MHFConnector is a (really) small little utility to change the MHF hosts in your hosts file to easily connect to a different MHF server, as well as allowing multiple clients to run.
Requires a modified client with gameguard removed to work.
MHFConnector assumes you have all the registry keys from a normal installation of JP version of the game client. If not, open MHFConnector.reg and replace C:\\YOUR\\MHF\\PATH\\mhf.exe with your path to the .exe, then run the .reg file to create the keys.
Prebuilt versions are available on the releases page.
This is basically just two existing libraries cobbled together:
- PSHostsFile for modifying the hosts file without overriding it.
- EasyHook for hooking
CreateMutexAandOpenMutexAfor multi-client purposes. (Almost copied directly from the example code)
In specific, all this does is add the specified IP to the hosts file:
E.g.
127.0.0.1 mhfg.capcom.com.tw
127.0.0.1 mhf-n.capcom.com.tw
127.0.0.1 cog-members.mhf-z.jp
127.0.0.1 www.capcom-onlinegames.jp
127.0.0.1 srv-mhf.capcom-networks.jp
And essentially makes CreateMutexA|OpenMutexA (mutexName) calls into CreateMutexA|OpenMutexA (mutexName+processID) calls, breaking the multi-client dectection mechanism.
