I think they "stopped" developping ts2 and changed to ts1 that's my thoughts tho.

yeah i know about ts2 its over..but we can continue it...if they share the code...

Didn't they get far with TS2? Seems like it.
Tiny also released his source code a few years ago. Too bad I have no clue how to use it.

I lost my TS2 source code when my hard drive died.... Tri's laptop also got damaged way back then. The only code thats out for TS2 would be the one leaked off the Troy FTP when it was mistakingly put on there by some "sleepy developer". Which I have not bothered with as its not mine to mess with :P.

If your interested in TS2 development rather than TS1 and we decide to make our TS1 code open source then it would be quite simple to use it as a base and further develop it for TS2 as they are basicaly the same game with little differences here and there.

Well I have had a chat to a few people in the community and read your comments here.
After discussing it with Tri I am going to be opensourcing this project on Github.

I am doing some cleaning up of the code and implementing jsdoc3 so that it can be documented nicely so people hopefully wont get too confused when learning the code base.

Hopefully you guys can help code in areas that are lacking so we can have this playable yeah!

Would it be a good idea for me to host some sort of fortnightly or weekly live chat on google+ or something we could talk about the code, what needs to be worked on or figured out and such, how to work out data from packets or files or game memory etc.

Let me know your thoughts guys,

Sounds good man, I have the weekend after today So I will work full steam on getting code posted up there. *got to goto work now lol*

You use visual stuido 2008 for the Launcher and DLL file.

You use node.js for everything else in the server.

IMG Tool can be used for translation stuff however I would like to remake this in node webkit as a desktop application. After running the IMG files through img tool we get dds files which can be loaded and modified in photoshop or gimp.

I would like to do away with the old translation files *the 005 datas^ as these are not textures. They contain information about monster, skills, item, npc, quest and I think their names and descriptions should be in CSV files which the dll could patch in memory when game runs. This means its more adaptable to updates easily and we could change names of things at runtime for when someone notices something is wrong spelling or name and wants to fix.

CSV can be managed by source control we can even export them from google docs which is colobrative in nature so we could all work on the translations and improve it easily.

I suggest people get familar with node.js and do some javascript tutorials if they do not know it already. Look forward to seeing you guys coding :D

good to know im waiting the source code ... lets the work begin
03/30/2014 03:10 Mega Byte#103
Okay, I have uploaded what I have so far, check it out at [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

New blog post about it here, [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

There is more to come. I had a bit of a design flaw in my old code so this new code base solved that problem but still requires the world server code to be migrated over.
And the launcher and dll code to be put in.

I will be doing that over the next few days :) and then documentation and the like.
I thought I would release now and continue working on these things rather than keep you waiting. At least you have something to look at and setup.

:)
