EQOAGameServer
The /current/ overall eqoa game server, not so complex, complex.
Authentication Server
EQOA Account server. Utilizing TCP server in C#, able to process and interact with a few requests of the client.
- Primarily logging in (Authentication of username/password).
- Creating an account.
- Changing password.
- All other requests should be met with, "This option is disabled in order to bring you content faster. If you feel this is an error,please contact the development team for further assistance."
This is super basic at this time and just automatically processes and accepts these requests. We have a database utilizing mariadb at this time, to be shared soon.
Functions needing to be added:
- Some SQL Choice (raw? orm?)
- Verifying username/password with sql.
- Authenticating old password and replacing it with new password if correct.
- Receiving create account requests, checking for username availability and writing the information to the database.
These have been done on a seperate version, as this interfaces with the encryption for the game, it is not currently released publicly. The server still allows for a quick login on any information at this time, though.
ReturnHome
UDP server implementing the packet framework to handle packet requests. This includes:
- World Select Screen
- Character Select Screen (Character creation and deletion)
- Memory Dump
- running around in the world
#New Changes
- Able to now see other players running around, very rudimentary state. Little choppy but it's something to start with
- Ingame chat, local say along with a (currently) global shout.
- Ingame "admin" system via chat just for adjusting some character states, eventually to be used with NPC testing.
- World fully populated with NPCs.
- Save characters upon logging off/disconnecting.
- Other small, minor things.
#TO-DO List
- Scripting for NPC pathing, interactions,etc
- Combat
- Various player op codes for interacting. Spells, etc.
- Begin work with Recast Tool
- Incorporate the stat update type
- Implement Tells/Replies
- Look into grouping mechanisms and the group unreliable type
Set up
Client setup can be found here: http://wiki.eqoarevival.com/index.php/Client_Setup
For a windows environment, a DNS redirect can be found here: http://wiki.eqoarevival.com/index.php/Server_Setup_Windows#DNS_Server
For a windows environment, A HTTP Server can be found here: http://wiki.eqoarevival.com/index.php/Server_Setup_Windows#HTTP_Server
For Linux environments, A HTTP Server can be used through python's httpserve. Apache can also be used via a more traditional web server setup and seems to be more stable.
Downloading and using Visual studio's, you need to clone the repo. Example of how to do this should be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/get-started/tutorial-open-project-from-repo?view=vs-2019 Upon cloning the repo, you should find a config file here -> EQOAGameServer\EQOA_Proto_C-sharp\EQOAProto-C-Sharp\app.config Modify the config file to have the appropriate IP's for your machine hosting the game server and the database.
Once completed, opening two seperate instances of the repo in Visual Studio's, select and run both solution files from the drop down box.
