Badge submitting AoBs

When hacking games for Badgehack, I've tried also making one of the AoBs that are "Enter game, get badges".
So far, no cookies (I didn't succeed).

Now, I looked at the http://www.kongregate.com/games/ArmorGames/run-elephant-run's .swf, and saw this:

if (_root.diff == "hard")
{
    _root.kongregateStats.submit("Insane", _root.lives);


//96 09 00 08 0a 07 02 00 00 00 08 00
_push "Insane" 2 "_root"
//1c
_getVariable
//96 02 00 08 05
_push "kongregateStats"
//4e
_getMember
//96 02 00 08 06
_push "submit"
//52
_callMethod
//17
_pop

And well, this is as far as I got.

Anyone has any spare cookies? Not just the chocolate chips, but the cookie dough as well?

Kongregate badges are a bit different than Newgrounds badges because Kongregate submits the stats, and then the server awards you the badges.

In this case, you want to replace _root.lives with a high enough stat so that you get the badge. It depends on the badge and whatnot, but it looks like here it's going to be an integer.
So here, we'll replace

  //96 09 00 08 0a 07 02 00 00 00 08 00
   _push "Insane" 2 "_root"with an integer (Is this AS2?)

I can't remember the exact formatting, but something like this in place of the above should push the integer 5.
96 09 00 07 05 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

(yes, this is AS2)

The badge is finishing Insane mode. So 96 09 00 07 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00?
And why did you erase the 08 towards the end? Because you changed to an integer?

If it has _push or _root (which is _level0/: in CE), it's most likely AS2 since AS3 looks like _as3_getlocal <0>.

  //96 09 00 08 0a 07 02 00 00 00 08 00
   _push "Insane" 2 "_root"
There's three parts to this variable.

It first pushes the string "Insane" with the code
08 0a
08 designates the next byte as a string, and 0a refers back to wherever it holds the strings.

Then, it pushes the integer 2
07 02 00 00 00
07 designates the next 4 bytes as an integer, so 02 00 00 translates to 2.

Finally, it pushes "_root"
08 00

If this entire variable was to retrieve an integer, then I would just replace the entire thing with
96 09 00 07 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00


Edit: On second though, it might be better to just have it push the integer since right now there are extra 0's.
96 05 00 07 01 00 00 00 02 02 02 02

I see. But why aren't you keeping the 08 00? Isn't it supposed to push both "Insane" 2 and "_root"?

In this case, if the badge is just for finishing Insane mode, I'd say is easier to change the if statement.
If you change

if (_root.diff == "hard") to

if (_root.diff == "easy") or just

if (_root.diff) or maybe even taking out the whole if, you'll get the badge by beating the game, whatever the difficulty is.

EDIT: Yeah, I forgot to change to easy =P

Don't you mean

if (_root.diff == "hard")to

if (_root.diff == "easy")?

And what I'm asking in this topic is how to do it in general, not just this case. That's what I meant in "cookie dough" and not just "chocolate chips".

If one pushes "Insane" 2 "_root", then it'll grab the variable that goes by that name. We don't want it to grab any variable at all, so we're just replacing the entire thing with an integer. Then, it'll submit that integer to Kongregate.

On that thought, I just realized I forgot something.

  //1c
   _getVariableWe don't want it to grab the variable, so just NOP this out, too.

Well, I'm not sure if there's a way of doing it in general. Based on what I've seen so far, it will submit to kong if one or more conditions are satisfied. So the most general way I can think of is simply noping the if, therefore making the game submit the badge info wheter you match the criteria or not

It seems that in this case it submits the stats whether the user dies or not. What Zirak wants to do is change what it sends to the server and make it good enough such that it'll give the badge.

So, insta-badge:

96 09 00 08 0a 07 02 00 00 00 08 00 1c =>
96 09 00 07 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02

Or finish easy difficulty level to get badge:
96 02 00 08 09 =>
96 09 00 08 04 07 02 00 00 00 08 00

The latter seems a bit...off. I'm not sure that changing length won't cause trouble.
