Ahhhhhh; I'm so confused! :)
Hi all!

Welp; Long story short...

I have mentioned that I simply could NOT bpx anywhere into this code below a certain entrance point...

I COULD bpx into line # 004403dd0 <<--a jump I felt needed to be changed...<<--although this one with addditonal ones did REG me; it did NOT do so correctly...on re-opening program was once again "UNreged"...<<<--additional checks somewhere...???

Whoops; off the track once more...

...but anything in other areas such as line # 00403b97 ( or pick ANY at all) that I desperately needed to get into to check for where I believed many things were building up... I simply was not allowed to POP back into that area with ICE...therefore, I would NEVER find the serial check...

I discovered WHY (<<--BOLD
Especially those of us who simply do not SEE what is happening in ICE when it checks or builds things in the code.....OR; when you simply can not get INSIDE with a bpx

I, many times, must work from the OUTSIDE of code because of not understanding what I am seeing in the code...So I create these back doors which take me forever to recognize... this was such a case...

This is for pedro; Colin; ice; liron; craftie ; Removed ; Bill; SV; Doz; and even dracula...

What sets us apart from The Sandman; Princess; Lord Soth; ect???
(okay other than being better looking then them...:)

Try this;
Open program: type your name into the "User name" box;
crtl-d; type bpx hmemcpy;x; click on unlock button;

Ice pops; now f-12 (20) times; til you land inside Rcrawler Code window;
now type bd 00 to disable bpx hmemcpy;
type bpx 00403b97;<<--this is an area that will check for your name and serial) x ;

Ice WILL NOT
POP BACK TO 00403b97... I, and those names I listed above... will not get in there to see that code...why???

Because our nameshandels are not long enough...<<--checks for length!

I discovered it accidentally after so many hours of frustration...!

Although I do not understand how to readinterupt the code that does checks for 'lenght' of input...I did discover that when I reached a certain LENGHT in name value...ICE popped...FINALLY...allowing me inside the code area mentioned...(as i said i accidentaly did it)

BUT, when I typed in a name lenght UNDER that value lenght that was being checked FOR, Ice would not pop...and the Error box popped instead...when I reached an upper length value... then ice, also, stopped popping to bpx 00403b97,

This action allowed me to SEE that the code was reading the "number" of letters I inputted into the 'UserName'box

I guess you could say it was a reverse way of identifing the lenght excepted or the lenght kicked out......when you can't identify what you are seeing inside the code...

In this case; ice breaking on my line # or NOT breaking on my line #; told me:

if: length equal to or less than 7, then:....REJECT; pop Error BOX...do not allow into this code area.

If: length equal to or greater than 17, then:...REJECT; pop Error BOX...do not allow into this code area.

Else: all value lenghts between 8-16...Except...&...No error BOX;...allow bpx to break into this code area.

DAH!
I was finally inside; I then read my serial # 4-5 lines down...

Hope this helps someone else...
