==================== INTRODUCTION ====================
Hello. This is OmegaAOL, compiler of this archive. I hope you're doing well today.

==================== CREDITS ====================
I would like to credit the following amazing developers for their roles in making this happen. This would not be possible without them, especially the anonymous developer who does not want to be named at present.

Complete consent has been obtained from the anonymous developer and Ryder to both credit them and publish this work, which was made with their assistance.

- Anonymous developer: for helping me generate Credentials2 by giving me access
to his supernode recreation server.
- Ryder: assistance with patching
- epicness: for hosting deobfuscated Skype version on his website

==================== USAGE INSTRUCTIONS ====================
Open the 'Offline Session' folder and run 'import.cmd'. (If Skype still doesn't work after this, run it as an administrator instead). Afterwards, just launch any version of Skype. If it stops working after some time (as is expected when version hopping), simply run `import.cmd` again. 

==================== PROBLEMS ====================
Skype 1.4 does not work because it does not trigger auto-login for some reason.
Skype 7.31 does not even open.
However, both are already patched, and if you manage to get them to work then no patching should be required.

==================== DISCORD CHATS IN SKYPE? ====================
If you want to see your Discord/Matrix/etc chats in Skype (version 4 and above), download Skymu (https://skymu.app), log in, click on the chats you want to appear, close Skymu, open Skype 4 or above, close that, then replace %AppData%\Skype\skypetest\main.db with  %AppData%\Skymu\...\...\main.db.

==================== MANUAL PATCHING INSTRUCTIONS (OPTIONAL) ====================
Credit goes to Ryder for these instructions. You do NOT need to follow these unless
you want to patch an unpached, deobfuscated Skype version or you just want to patch
yourself for some reason. All the Skype executables here come pre-patched already.

Using a hex editor like HxD, search for these and replace them with the following.
- In Skype 6 and above, you will be patching skylib.dll / SkypeSkylib.dll. In Skype 5 and below you will be patching Skype.exe directly as skylib is embedded,
- You will find these in hex for Skype 5 and above, and in ASCII (decoded text pane in HxD) for Skype 4 and below. To switch between where to paste (hex or decoded text) in HxD, use [TAB].
