Default SimpleClient and EqEmu

Hello, All.

I am developing a new client and came across SimpleClient. I thought I found exactly what I wanted until I saw the LS packaged with it that said there was no encryption.

That lead me to wonder if it can connect to the eqemu Login Server (you know--the one at eqemulator.net).

I'm stuck at the authentication part of the client and have found that the encryption part is wrapped up in DLLs.

Can someone please tell me how to get authentication with the Login Server (at eqemulator.net)?

Also, is SimpleClient limited to OpenZone-created zones or can it load zones from Everquest, too?

Thanks!

Brandon

SimpleClient has its own login protocol, and Doodman added support to the EQEmu LS for it a long time ago. It doesn't need to know the live client's encryption scheme.

The client isn't architecturally limited to OpenZone zones, but I've chosen not to release an implementation for parsing WLD zones.This is partially because I want to provide an incentive for people to create their own zones and partially because it leaves absolutely no room for anyone at SOE to complain.

Default Hmmmm

I wonder if I could piggyback my login off of SimpleClient protocol.

Is that okay with you guys?

I just need a way to establish a connection with the server.

Thanks!

Anyone had time to think about this?

What port does the eqemu LS use when using SimpleClient to connect?

I see that the INI i got from SimpleClient uses 5999, but I thought that was for SoD clients.
Also, do you have a pointer to a place with SimpleClient authentication documentation?



Thanks!

Can someone please explain what I need to do in order to use the SimpleClient authentication method already in place on the LS?

Thanks!

I think there are only two people on the planet who can answer that, Windcatcher, and Doodman (who I don't believe has been active on these boards for a very long time).
