This is going to end poorly, methinks.

Good luck, though. I look forward to any EQ2 emulator.

If you just took the CVS source and put it into SVN, thats awesome as I have better luck with SVN vs CVS, but what about the project renaming. That to me comes off like a hijacking of his work, without his permission and all. Now if he said, "Saweb, take over the helm and do what you will with it, your the leader now!" Then changing the name of the emu and stuff I guess would work, but personally, I wouldnt. I like EQ2Emu, and I respect LE's dedication and skills to get it to the point that it is. Even though it doesnt work, there is still alot that he already has done. I think is was all down to getting the client to communicate with the LS and World.

If I am not mistaken, before the hosting change and his site going down. People with a *specific patch* could login to his server and actually use it, sans alot of features. SOE changed the encryption key and kinda broke anythign else from ever working, as we cant cipher out the packets to make the server LIVE compatible now.

Hopefully though, LE will return one day and shed some light onto the status of this project and wether or not we should just move on, or take over and pound away at the LIVE client to get the data we need.

Last I talked to LethalEncounter he was working with someone who found the new location in memory where the key was being stored. From what I understand the key is no different than before just that its shortly destroyed upon creation. So it seems possible to get it updated to live but I am sure there are a lot more changes than just the encryption itself. The base network code, packet structures, opcodes, etc. have changed as well.

On a side note, it is nice to see that people are interested in EQ2EMu and want to setup an SVN server and such. But I have to agree with techguy that changing the name of the emulator is unnecessary ( LethalEncounter already has eq2emulator.net in some fashion even though its not accessible currently ).

LethalEncounter like many of us is caught up in real life issues im sure, people will just have to be patient. If he can't work on it I believe he would release the source completely, it is just a matter of when he gets the time to do either.
