Help! cant find global-metadata

EzM0dZ

So, i decided to try and mod this game, straight off the bat its a split apk. so i go into the v7 config apk extract what im pretty sure is the libil2cpp.so that just been renamed, and i go to extract global metadata from the base apk. well when i went into assets and there was no bin folder. i decided to look other places to no avail.

a pic of the assets folder


anyone know where it might be hiding?


thank you in advance ?

If instead of libil2cpp.so, the main lib has another name, like libX.so (where x =! il2cpp); this means this game hasn't got global-metadata because it's not a libil2cpp.so game.

Read or watch the tutorials you can find here, because I'm 100% sure you haven't checked them; or you just read 1 word per sentence.

How to: IDA String Hacking

This tutorial works for Android and iOS. It's usefull when you don't find anything with the normal IDA method. Credits to: shmoo I will be using Blitz Brigade for this tutorial because it is a great game for beginners to start learning strings. I know this binary is not the current version...

thank you for linking that tutorial to me i would not have considered to use ida. also im not familiarized with arm yet nor do i have ida pro. until now i was under the false assumption this was a unity game which it isnt so i wont bother with it yet. also, yes i have read through all of the tutorials, however there is a gap in knowledge that i need to overcome in order to understand the contents. thats why i didnt assume to use ida pro or to refer to that tutorial. sorry if i came off as lazy, im just dumb. and again thank you now i at least know what i need to learn.

Well, there's good chances you would have to use IDA on libil2cpp.so games anyway, since the dumping doesn't give you enough information. But I understand why you had that mindset; online tutorials usually show games that only need a mov r0, #0xXXXX BX LR on the function's offset to work. Once you acquire some expeience, you realize that things really need more work.

As a personal advice: Check all the tutorials here (even if you think you don't need them for now), and learn how assembly instructions work. Once you have a decent idea, you can start modding easy games. Also, if you keep doing things like asking questions about things which have already been explained or asking to get something done, nobody's ever gonna help (or even answer) you unless you actually pay them.
