VoA Development Tracking

provocating · #1 04-12-2012, 01:27 PM

Trevius, I am downloading the F2P right now to archive away, the April 12th patched one.

Is there anything I can help with to help speed up your progress ?

No, not unless you know how to read through packets and figure out packet structures, opcodes and do encodes/decodes. Though, you can always start learning at any time. I learned how to do it mostly on my own and have a page in the wiki that explains it a little, though it is pretty old.

Made a commit with membership stuffs. I think I accidentally the whole items though i'm not sure if it is just x64 being nubby again.

Also, if anyone is interested in seeing what is done, I am hosting a non-legit server for testing this client. Simply patch to live and connect to "Secrets VoA Test" under the green server list. Mess around and try to break things.

I haven't tested it yet, but I doubt you broke items. You only added comments to them, so there shouldn't be any issues. It is probably a x64 issue with your server.

*EDIT*

I think I got the item struct issues figured out. I just need to get home and test the changes. Looks like 2 of the new int32s were in the wrong spots. I am still not 100% sure on the positioning of one of them, but it is narrowed down to a very small range of possible positions.

Well I really need to learn it, so I am going to attempt to spend a few hours every day learning the structure.

Also if I checkout the source, are there any modifications that have to be done to support VoA in it's current state ?

Yes, you need to uncomment 2 lines of code in patches.cpp, which is mentioned in at the bottom of the first post in this thread.

Awesome I will work on this over the weekend.
