BDO Emu - Open Source development project

Hello there !

Me and a few other guy are currently on the way of creating an open source development project for Black Desert Online.

Since the release of the first emu files nearly 1 year ago, almost 0 improvements have been done, most of the development effort went closed source, with those teams collapsing only after a few weeks due to greed or internal conflicts... !

So, since the official game is going more and more P2W, our guess is that the p-server scene will see an afflux of new players in the coming months.
+, the current leading p-servers needs some serious competition, so here we are.

Our goal is to set-up a solid dev team, ready to work on a first iteration of BDO Emu and then enhancing it with bug fixing, new features, etc... without dramas or things like that. Our private repo has just been setup to keep the code safe and the people we are dealing with are willing to help.

BDO is a great game, ran by a greedy company and the p-server scene needs some innovation and competition.

If that can interest you, and you have the following skills:
- Java OR C# software development
- Packets analysis
- ... any other software development related skill

Then PM me and let's start a great journey !

Cheers.

Hope that happens I have a friend who would love to help out.

Main language the emu will be developed from?
While Java is good, I dont see any new developers going to join developing a Java project.

because of the 491 emu is java, they are probably hoping to just update on whats already had.

We are still deciding wether use the existing base in Java, or translate it/start again with C#. It will depends on the available skills pool of course.
We don't want to rush something and deliver a barely working emu with very few new features and fixes.

It's happening now, some people are already in ! So if your friend is still interested, just PM me !

unless you guys have someone who is capable of reverse engineering, dont expect the emu to go pass 824

Our target will be 795 for now. Then we'll see. Our main plan is to provide the community with a fixed and most up-to-date server files but we won't loose time on a specific version if we know that we don't have the right skills to deal with it. :)

I was going to suggest that. and try to start as early as possible, the longer you wait the harder it is

If you need help for C# you can hmu

But then again, his thread was flooded by negative feed backs.

Hello,
We're currently stuck due to XC. We'd like to get rid of it in order to use our own AC.
Does somebody here could help with that (dropping XC to the trash bin)?

Thank you.

I'm sorry, but if you aren't capable of disabling a public anti cheat, you most definetly should not make an own one.

The situation is a bit more complex than what I can write on this forum.

Anyway, XC is now disabled.

Your asking for a perfect world Utopia, never gonna happen. Also, stop trying to split up the population on the already established private servers, GameZ is just fine. 10000% better to play on than the official BDO servers and the population is just right! Instead of working against them, offer to work with them so we can completely FUCK Pearlabyss out of a paycheck!

Actually it's happening... (very) slowly but happening.
So please post you mean words elsewhere.
