[Development] 4267 conquer server.

Good luck.
In regards to anti-botting, the simplest thing is: if there is a will, there is a way.
There's no such thing as unhackable, or unbotable, or uncheatable.

In the virtual world, impossible and impenetrable are both impossible. :)

We all know so, just trying to somewhat give those guys a challenge, and i know they will totally love it :p

I'm with a big project of the 1.0 server, We have done a great source from scratch and we are trying to find guys to help with the stuff (mobs spawns, quests and etc) I mean, is hard to remember olds things (more than 5 years ago)...

For who want talk about the team and the progress, add me at msn: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

i'm not talking about just changing the initial bf key,etc...im talking about changing the encryption entirely through injection,etc. i should have been more specific. anyways, let's stay on topic...


good luck with the server.

Thanks, I really appreciate your comments guys.

Character spawn should work now, can't test it since i don't have a 4267 client -.-
does someone have a 4267 client uploaded on a mirror other than megaupload i can't use the latter..
HUGE EDIT:
IT IS ALIVE! Character spawn! Immune will upload the pic!

#UPDATED;
Progress

Now after finishing the difficult part, we are now writing the other packets :p
And anti-bot system totally finished except background clicks, we will hook it up later.
EDIT:
Client side progress:
Working on a autopatch system.

#UPDATE

- Walking impemented.
- Jumping implemented.
- Equipping/Unequipping implemented.
- Chat implemented.
- Supporting ping.

Damn yall are really coming along goodjob :)

Ive gotten abit stuck on my IPC stuff, at the moment i have fully implemented the Item Packet, and all of its switches, char creation, walking, jumping, partial npcs, a quadtree to hold all character positions, dropped item positions, monster positions and npc positions.

Just a heads up:
If your anti-bot system in any way accesses the hard drive (i.e. to scan for files), checks running processes (to check for illegal processes), or does anything other than modify the conquer client (which, I'm rather sure is also illegal), you might want to have a very clear EULA stating so, or you could be facing a lawsuit / related case, as you'd be violating end user privacy rights.

Otherwise, though, good job so far.

Im going down a different route, i wont atually touch the client or the client's host, rather im going to check everything that the client does, its alot simpler when an entirely seperate app deals with it, it wont effect the game server at all. So people can use a proxy as much as they like, although it will only last a few minutes and then thats it, banned.

We don't access hard-drives nor search through processes(although we enumerate modules running in the conquer process but you already excluded that), and however anyone who wants to use a proxy has only 3 minutes before his or her client gets banned..
I don't think we violate any end user privacy rights as we never read data related to anything running outside the boundaries of the conquer client

Thanks for stating some info though :P
