modern servers are total failure

those days even in joymax server was so special nobody acutally know how to run silkroad online server , a basic one and without filters shit that what prevent from players to join the servers or leave in few days , that acutally what destory the community , not even joymax had to help here , its the community themself nothing more , somehow peoples going to the joymax servers as peoples used the game systems as they are

the facts are :

servers owner think bot scene will over = they wont
servers owner think adding more featuring will attraced many players = no
protection its just limit the time untill the protection will broken
maybe think a bit better you know its can be a small tip but high change, players like myself prefer the old game basic system and not filter shit , auto events destory the game basic system such Capture the flag guild war , every system in the game can be improved by a bit of brain , try it i can assure that maybe old players wich left the community may even return with less or more peoples that play the game as normal , i want to be more then serius ok = server that limit their players lets say bot stuff but create macro wich mimic the bot himself its the same process both let the players be afk while the character doing its own .

all the servers here are just mimic of old workspace of other peoples its like a loop no one know how to be developers everybody count on filters that all, its enough for even one guy someday will open server very basic with the normal systems and maybe can even earn better than those fake servers .

One day

I was off the silkroad scene for more than 10+ years when I came back I notice a lot of private servers pop-up with server filters on them. I checked out my old bot code and slight modifications the filters (vsro, maxi, etc..) was able to be bypass. Some servers have dynamic opcode, & extra extended packet structure change but that didn't matter as I was able to bot on those "NO-BOT Servers". The only thing was a random guy reported my character and eventually a GM investigated and PM my char which I didn't reply that got me block. Anyway the filters didn't really block anyone from botting it just makes it harder for regular "non-technical" people to use a bot.

Maybe this method should just be made public. Since everyone is just buying filters to one click set up the same server for the 500th time. So this might make it harder for those to keep spamming money grabbing servers.

Just use RSBot and modify it.

And there is no "method", it's simple reverse engineering.

Last time I was looking at a maxiguard server, they added some extra bytes to move opcode, this was their protection. :D

Without going to the client codes or any client modifications.

You can do now first redirect all traffics to your Proxy... Windows OS already have all the tools that you need for this. No amount of SRO Filters can blocked you for doing this. For the Proxy part, the one that pushedx released is still working up to this day. You can then analyze from here what has changed on their opcodes or packet structure.

If I remember correctly, they changed every 10mins (might be configurable timerange) and the old opcodes is still useable for a bit till you need to use the updated one. There are easier loopholes still on getting the new opcodes.

I think it was VSRO Filter (not sure) that has some added extra packets at the end with encrypted bytes.

I notice some SRO Clients are checking the IP Port being used on client-side. Might need to keep in mind.

bring back the unstable emulators v1.150

I highly doubt anyone would play it but if ufonose released GrindRoad's 2011-2012 Emulator I would play it all day

GrindRoad had it's own unique flavour!

With an emulator you could do so many custom things without jumping around asm code and try workarounds in filter.

It's time for a community project :D

IMO its a very small amount of players who enjoy a bot free server so overall its not worth it.

You dont need emulator for a SRC leaked game tho.

GrindRoad was by far the best emulator server I played back in the day and it was PACKED even though VSRO servers existed it still was an amazing experience.

Honestly, I don't mind jumping around asm code and workarounds in filter it had its charm xD though I find the excessive custom UI for every little thing annoying to look at

It is time for an open source 1.150 emulator

or V1.322 i remember I have a couple of emulators for it

Source was already released here?

A source leaked game...!
Only a few people that got it, does not make it source leaked.
It would take another 10 years for people to actually build something unique with it, just like metin2.
Over the time, many other sources were found, including the client and modules but I don't know if someone leaked them yet.

Edit:
As far as I remember, it was leaked on another forum called rage-zone.

A lot of ppl have it already if someone motivated enough prolly can acquire it. not referring to mega tho.

It's not public.

Only mega's doing servers atm with the src (Sailor) dude is clueless tho. he's still doing same old pushing ISRO content/updates as stuff he made.

I didn't check SRO for a while. came back to see the forum when SRO Oirign Mobile poped off on my socials since I had the idea back in time when we were doing Zyain/Rigid/RigidII(aka Sailor now)

bottom line is creative server creators are not around anymore. scene is full of money milkers.

just open a basics 110 server.. do need a filter to keep hackers and ddos at bay
