9Dragons 2024 Source Code (Full Server + Client) - A New 9Dragons Server Is Coming

Aside of all that - have fun breaking RFs AES protection to get the latest maps and config files. (Hint: not possible with AI unless you have a source code newer than 2020 that describes the specific AES encryption configuration)

You have no understanding of encryption and dlls, you couldn't be more wrong.

You are totally right 100%.

I was about to say
Saying you can't decrypt RF just proves you have no actual coding knowledge or skills, you are just leeching off farmer9D's work. You couldn't be more wrong!

I'm just happy you broke silence, this proves you got 0 clues about how encryption works generally not just 9Dragons.

Saying I have "no clue about decryption" is bold considering I actually have decrypted all of RFs files and maps (see attachment). But that's because I know the exact AES Configuration and I can fetch all new keys easily from RF (after each patch every map gets new keys). Besides I had reconstructed a working source code almost a year ago before the agentic AI era started and everyone started spamming the forum with their 9D coding "skills". I said you theoretically "can" reconstruct stuff that resembles RFs but without the actual source code it's just going to be crappy approximations like all the other private servers have done so far.

Anyone saying "i can do this and that with AI" without actually doing it has no clue what they're talking about. As I said it still takes months of work, deep knowledge about the game and thousands of dollars in AI subscriptions until you have something that's actually presentable. You give me the impression that you're just salty because you broke your ballz trying to do some stuff with AI and now somebody comes along that actually has the full 2024 source and your work was for "nothing".

Anyone can do anything with AI, but simply having a running client that connects to the server is 5% of the actual work. And aynoen who has actually tried it knows.

You haven't demonstrated anything by showing an RF map, buddy. How exactly does that prove you have reconstructed working source code?

The whole point is that RF's files can be decrypted without possessing the original source. Knowing how to work around its anti-memory-reading protections is a separate matter from reconstructing the game......
You haven't shown any source code, successful builds, working gameplay, or actual technical implementation. All you've shown is an outdated version of XTerrain displaying a map that plenty of people already have.
That proves nothing about your reverse-engineering skills, let alone your claims of having reconstructed a working source.

Showing an existing map in an old tool isn't the same as reconstructing a game engine :pepeclown:

By your logic we all have 2020 source codes right now, they magically downloaded overnight into our pc.

I don't want to be harsh but this is a wake up call to be more transparent with the people who will play on your servers.

I'm not planning to release a server at all. All I did so far is for my own curiousity and as a hobby therefor I don't need to prove anything to anyone. Not sure where you got that idea that i'm planning to release a server. I am just sick and tired of all these reverse engineered crappy servers (be it with AI or not) that have been arround since over a decade. As someone that likes the new official contents (but hates their P2W concept) I am just rooting for a kind of Server that the OP is promising to release. Since it's the first project i've seen so far that has no item mall and isn't based on reverse engineered old files containing AI slop but the actual true 2024 source code with the actual 2026 RF contents. So chances are high we wont get a quick cash grab and adiue like weg got with 100% of the past private servers so far.

As for the decryption point. AI can't crack AES encryption that's facts. Now if you figure out the AES Configuration and know what to do with it to fetch the keys that's another story, but my claim that AI can't crack AES encryption stays.

I see the heated debates have already started - as usual, and probably necessary for a proper ePVP thread. 😄

Anyway, here’s the first video in a series we’ll be releasing over the next days and weeks.

In this one, we’re mainly showcasing some of the F11 features like Resources, Costume Gallery, Pets and Comrades, along with a few changes we made ourselves.

We also decided not to show the old Vertigo state after all. Instead, we’re showing the latest RedFox content running on the Vertigo 2024 source.

That’s also why Hefei has that reddish tint in the video. Those are the decrypted maps from RedFox’s recent Heat Wave event.


More videos coming soon. 👀

Sooooo, how is this proof that you've got a full source code? I've seen people implement those features without having the 2024 source code.

That's a fair question. The main goal of this first showcase was to show that we have all the latest RedFox content up and running, with just a few minor QoL changes included.

What you're seeing in the first reveal video is actually a pretty old commit and quite far behind our current master branch, which has already changed significantly from the original 2024 source.

We're releasing these videos in this order on purpose. We wanted to start by showing the game state in its original 2024 source as a baseline, running the latest RedFox content, and then gradually show how we've built on top of it.

The reason is pretty simple: if we jumped straight into showing our latest build, which looks and behaves quite differently from both the original Vertigo and current RedFox versions, people might just assume we're running some completely different codebase. So instead, we're starting with the foundation which is the original 2024 source and working our way up through the different development stages.
Over the next days and weeks, we'll be showcasing newer code commit stages with more substantial changes and features we've implemented.

The next video we release will already show some pretty significant changes compared to the 9Dragons you’re used to.

I have 'latest 2026 source' It's joke. In reality, this client is based on a legacy source code shared on Git long ago. I only resumed adding features to it a few weeks ago. Truthfully, if you have a basic understanding of coding and AI, the process is quite simple. Rather than debating the capabilities of AI, our focus should be on becoming effective prompt engineers and better agents to port this legacy project to mobile—which is my ultimate goal. I am aware that many others are currently working on or have completed similar projects, but these things take time. After all, 9Dragons has become heavily pay-to-win nowadays 😆.

Can you share the source code of the previous git client and server?
