Getting Meta-Hacking: The Hacker's Guide To Meta

By Krowmeat

This guide helps you get the ever-elusive achievement, Meta-Hacking! Just as a warning, you will need a LUA editor, like Sublime or something. If not you'll have to convert the files to .txt and back whenever I tell you to edit something.

Step 1-Finding A Thing

The first thing you want to do is enter Steam/SteamApps/Common/InvisibleInc and unzip or enter the scripts file, which is the folder closest to the bottom. Then, go into "client" find state-main-menu.lua and copy-paste it to wherever you see fit.

Step 2-Editing The Thing

Next you need to open your copied file with Sublime, or whatever you use. Now scroll down until you see "--KLEIAchievements:achieve( "META_HACKING" )" and delete the "--" that's in front of it.
Then take the edited file and either swap it out with the old file or overwrite it.

Step 3-Messing With The Anti-Cheat

Now, go back to SteamApps/Common/InvisibleInc and take out hashes.dat, and make a new one by making a new .txt file and changing the file name to "hashes" and the file extension to ".dat".
DO NOT EDIT THE FILE IN ANY WAY.

Step 4-The Last Part

Now open up the game and close it. You should now see that you've unlocked Meta Hacking
when you close the game and go back to the game's info screen. So, congratulations, you've now unlocked the achievement! If you haven't, you've screwed up yet again and are a terribly stupid person who probably does not deserve the- probably stolen -money you used to buy this game with. Either that or you forgot to put the state-main-menu.lua back in.

Either/or.

This wasn't working for me when I did it in this order, the game would not start at all. To get it to work I had to do it in the following order:

Step 1 and 2
Re-compress the scripts folder into a zip file
delete the "hashes.dat" file
Start up and exit the game
Create a new "hashes.dat" file
Start up and exit the game again

And then the achievement popped up.

Thanks for the guide!
Can we play to the game like it is, or do we have to change it back to its inital state?

Can't get the game to launch after so much as touching the scripts file...

Thanks for the guide! Got stuck for awhile before realizing I made the mistake of compressing the files in RAR instead of ZIP :D

Thank you ! You truly are an amazing and capable man.

Thanks! ps: if it's not working look if the extensions of your files is displayed. If not, you will just have a txt file named "hashes.dat". If done correctly it should ask you if you want to change the type of the file. pps: what is this file for? any idea?

lol, the last part

Thanks, much appreciated, Really easy to do. Question: do I put back the old files pre-edit, or can I just leave it alone and still play/receive achievements as normal?
