Title: Quick Connect fix - Custom "Client.dll"
Post by: rid on June 18, 2014, 12:12:59 am

Hello guys, I use a custom Client.dll (hex edited, really easy to do)!

What this contains:

• -Changes quick connect default port to 7175 - This allows for a faster server rejoin! (changing it in the .xml file does not work) - No longer needed, server is now using 9999!
• -Changes "Screenshot taken/Screenshot failed" text to "Screenshots do not work" - I keep forgetting that it doesn't work
• -Removes the watermark on the bottom left corner: "IV:MP 0.1 T3 (Apr 15 2011, 17:52:37)" - Good for screenshots!

DOWNLOAD Client.dll (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1536586/ArgonathIV/Client25-01-2015.zip)         That big for all you blind fools

Instructions inside!
Replace         ...\Grand Theft Auto IV\IVMP\Client.dll with that one, and that's it :)

Yes, you can change the port too in quick connect, but the port does not get saved to your preferences file (settings.xml), so that's why I had to edit the .dll directly, and change the default port :\

And that is the reason I do not consider this a fix, but a workaround.

Updated to the new port used by the server: 7173

Aye, thanks for doing that, i was on vacation.
Probably not so many people will want/need it now, since the default port was 9999 anyways, but there's still the no-watermark goodies for the screenshotters!
I'll update the first post with your link.

(Also, I don't think this should be in Game Modifications, since this is actually IV:MP specific. If any mods out there could move it, i'd appreciate it. I believe few IV:MP users go in and check the general Game Modifications forum)

UPDATED to 9999 (default port).

The only thing it does now is remove the IV:MP build watermark and change the Screenshots text, because 9999 has always been the default port for normal IV:MP.
