Hi there
our community is playing this game for over 14 years now, the last 10 years we used the LAN mod because eidos closed the servers in 09. We tried to get in contact with the developers and publishers but the only answer we have received was that we can do anything with the game so thats why im here.
We checked the whole Game.exe to see how the network was working;
NetZ (Quazal were the developers) was foundation of the entire network system. But for keeping the statistics, player rooms, clan system and ingame messages they used a dedicated server. The server itself was not the basis of communication between the players which means player were connected via p2p.
We tried to change the Host ip and everything else in the application file and actually it was possible to get in the multiplayer modus which wasnt possible before but if u try to register an account then u get kicked out again. It seems like the multiplayer needs serverfiles so everything can run but eidos deleted them after closing the servers. All the needed files are
mentioned in the application file, my question is if its possible to recreate these files or is there no way ? My knowledge is like zero and as u see my english isnt good aswell but this whole thing is very important to us and we have a budget of 10.000$. For devs the 10k are peanuts but maybe theres a easy way to get this game back online so yea if anyone can help us it would be cool.
Ty in advance
