    Default IMPORTANT READ ALL: UID.dat has Moved!!!

    Sneaky move from our beloved Corporation:

    The UID.dat is now located at c://WINDOWS/.jagex_cache_32/UID.dat!!!!
    SRL is a Library of routines made by the SRL community written for the Program Simba.
    We produce Scripts for the game Runescape.

    I noticed this last night. I deleted the uid.dat, then loaded up RS. The file wasn't re-created, which left me wondering what was going on.

    Thanks for clearing that up Fakawi.

    well this is what iv noticed...

    i had a UID in the old .file_store32, when i load up the applet, nothing changes

    i delete the UID, load the applet again, .file_store stays, but i get a new folder called Jagex_cache, with a single file inside, UID

    i delete the entire .file_store32, and load the applet again, i get a new folder called jagex_cache with UID and all the other signed applet files

    conculsion: they have changed to another folder, but they still check for the old folder, they only move if the old folder isnt detected,
    this could mean that legit players who dont know about UID.dat could have the old folder for years to come

    Has anyone ever read a uid.dat? My understanding is that dat is a file extension for anything, and it only can be read if you know what created it. Do we know?

    i think we would find out because those java people who deobfuscate the client would look thought it and see where it stores the UID this time

    its encrypted with java so only other java can read it, but iv heard its only a serial number, like 4545567

    It's a big-endian random integer written out to a file.

    Code:
                try
                {
                    File file1 = new File(file, "uid.dat");
                    if(i1 == 1 && (!file1.exists() || 4L > file1.length()))
                    {
                        int l1 = -1;
                        Random random = new Random();
                        for(; -1 == l1; l1 = random.nextInt());
                        DataOutputStream dataoutputstream = new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(file1));
                        dataoutputstream.writeInt(l1);
                        dataoutputstream.close();
                    }
                    if(file1.exists())
                    {
                        flag = true;
                        DataInputStream datainputstream = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream(file1));
                        c = 1 + datainputstream.readInt();
                        datainputstream.close();
                    }
                    break label0;
                }
                catch(Exception exception1) { }
    If the .file_store_32 copy of a file exists, it will use that one. Finding the new folders is as simple as this:

    Code:
            as1 = (new String[] {
                ".jagex_cache_" + arg1, ".file_store_" + arg1
            });

    Yeah, for UID. Otherwise it depends on what kind of information you're talking about.

    Not really, you want to have a different UID for every runescape character that you own so there is nothing to link them together.

    When I auto, I play un-signed, would that draw any attention since the UID is randomly generated? When I un-flag my characters or play legit, I have a file with each of my players UID's in it, and I put the players UID into the Jagex folder. Would this decrease my chances of getting banned?
