WHAT'S HERE
This is a small part of my
Preservation Conquer client, shared for people who want to learn or build their own.
It loads an empty
Twin City locally as a Trojan.
- Map and character rendering, equipment, shadows and nameplates
- Walking, running, jumping and collision
- Limited sound
- Minimap with a player marker, zoom and expand controls
- Readers for the original client files
Quote:
This is the skeleton, not the full client.
There is no server connection, combat, skill system, effects or game windows.
Game assets are not included.

BUILD & RUN
Requirements
- Conquer Online 5065 installation
- Rust 1.95 or newer
- Visual Studio C++ Build Tools with the Windows SDK
- Windows x64
Extract them to:
The folder must directly contain:
Code:
ini
map
data.wdf
c3.wdf
Keep these game files separate from the source project.
Clone and run:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/deklol/Preservation-CO-Client.git
cd Preservation-CO-Client
cargo run --release --locked -- --assets "C:\Conquer5065"
If you extract the client somewhere else, replace
C:\Conquer5065 with that folder's full path.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CONTROLS
Code:
Left Click / Hold Move
Ctrl + Click / Hold Jump
/ Toggle Run/Walk
Shift + Click Turn
Space Stop after current step or jump
Escape Exit
Minimap Buttons Toggle crop/full-map view and expand/collapse
