I think there's a little more wrong that just beta packet encryption. No one can log into their own server to start coding and testing.

I'd say that's a show stopper.

As soon as LE gets back, i would like to help with packet collection/world dump.
I dont know if its still valid, as this was posted about a month ago:

I will be working on a packet collector project that should help out quite a bit if we want to use the latest client instead of an old one. What do you guys think about that? After the packet logger is finished, getting packet logs of everything imaginable from the latest client. Then we get a emulator working with that version and never worry about keeping up with live again. If we get enough packet logs, it should be pretty trivial.

Lets hope he is actually working on that. Give him his own space, but a status report would be really great right now.

Excuse me for being curious, but I was working to get a VS8 project file going - is there missing things in the SVN files?

It looks like the 16 errors I generated needed mysql.h (sql), zlib.h (the compession library), and errmsg.h (sql). If I am being totally bonkers and way ahead of myself, nevermind. I'm the type if I see code I can't resist compiling it :)

If you want I can svn my combined SQL file.

Do you have your VS8 project setup with the directories and libraries like you would for EQEmu? Sounds like it cannot find the same stuff.

Ok thanks for the hint I'll try that. :)

If you make some progress, pm me with links and Il add it to the SVN.

Thanks ;)

I updated SVN with another tool that might be usefull.

I found this tool very interesting.
-The games settings are stored in the form of vdl's
-Take for example "gamecmds.vdl" This file contains all the games in-game commands, including all emotes.

Code:

// File:    x:\eq2live\worldbuilding\alias_output\Clientvdl/gamecmds.vdl

Thanks for the offer, but I already have a SVN server setup. As far as the project name I kind of like EQ2Emulator. Be sure to read the other thread, but to sum it up I'll continue to work on the project. If I ever decide to quit, I'll release the source to everything.

That is interesting, but the server already sends every valid command when logging in:

Great Scott!, the fire still burns!

Hope to hear of you more often. ^^ The above mentioned is only an example of the settings that can be found in the game archives. Im not sure of my facts, but I think I have seen things like spell cast times and loading intervals. Might be useful for server::client synchronization. Just from looking at it quickly,(in my rather inexperienced comprehension) there might be some usefull settings.

A few questions:
*Do you still have a working packet decrypted?
*Do you work on this as a single person, or do you have a team?

Thanks again for the time spent on this. . .
SAweb

Yes to a packet logger and as of right now I am the only programmer.

Say the word when/if you need any collecting. I am not afraid of SOE - what are they gonna do, ban me? It'll save me $150/mo.

Although a sneaky SEQ style collector would be nice. ~grin~

I am also willing to help where it is needed. I can help with anything sql related, as well as collecting.
