new enemies, skills, cutscenes, etc) will not work on the client (ie. I believe the game's script data is compiled in the engine.dll, and that needs to be kept up to date or various newer functions (eg. Nexon Game Messaging Service or something along those lines. If I recall correctly, there's a separate server for the in-game chat that you can IP block/delete the files of. There's a text file in the main folder that you can edit to redirect the game to check for updates at whatever address you like. There's a database in the files with lots of information, but I don't know if it's outdated or if the server itself uses the same database. You'd need to look into them with the appropriate tools. I think there are various scripts inside the maps and the actionscript files that tell the game what to ask or expect from the server. I think the reference codes are listed in the files, but I don't remember clearly.
The client won't do anything story or quest-related until the server sends the references for the client to look things up. The story script, item descriptions, item/skill/enemy names, etc. The game seems to rely on feedback from the server on what options are available when in a room (eg. The client tells the server when they're changing map by using Source Engine commands (eg. They are teleported back when the cutscene ends.Įntering town rooms or new areas (fading in and out, teleporting) are defined in the maps. I think some music triggers are also handled by the server.ĭuring some cutscenes, players are transported to a "safe" empty area where they won't be able to move or interfere with the cutscene. nothing drops if the server does not tell the client that there is a drop. Item drops are also handled by the server, ie. The actual enemy spawns are handled by the server, meaning that even if you set off the triggers, nothing will happen until the server sends the info on the enemy spawn. Triggers for cutscenes, enemy spawns, zone walls and the like are in the map data. I'm just going to list stuff as I remember, so this is going to be a mess. It's also old information, as I don't know what's changed because I haven't played for a long time. I'm not sure how much of this is useful for making a private server. If anyone else is interested in helping me and they have knowledge of C# and Packets, please post here.
I have no idea what the server structure of Vindictus is, though I'm guessing it's something along the lines of. I am in no means a pro at C# either though. I'd like to start this Project in C#, although it makes more sense to do it in C++ since Source Engine is C++, but I have no C++ knowledge (and I don't like C++ Syntax) but I am capable of translating code from C++ over to C#. I searched around a bit and found that Dawson already did the Encryption Scheme and found the nmconew Packet Format.
Well, after reading through some posts, I'd say that Vindictus is probably one of the easiest games out there to Emulate right now, since it uses and it's Encryption is ProudNet.
