[DIF][ALPHA]iMers Rewrite (Linux & more)

[iMer]

Hello there

I have been working on rewriting and improving the metin2 server for a few month now and I finally got enough of the behind the scenes network stuff for an alpha release done.
This should be fairly stable, but hasnt been tested in a production environment just yet.

Linux?
Exactly.
They run on linux! I've only tested debian, but they should work fine on other ones too.

Incomplete feature list:

1. LINUX!!!
2. Network portion has been completely reworked (shouldnt have visible effects)
3. Gold limit is raised to 10 quadrillion (10000000000000000) and is easily raisable even more
4. Level limit is raised to max. 32k
5. Generic exploit fixes (number_ex, syncpos, /war)
6. More quest functions
7. No text protos
8. Based on 34k
9. ...and more I cant remember atm

So, iMer.. How would I aquire those files?
It's fairly easy.
I provide dif patches for db, game, qc and the metin2client.bin
Due to the nature of the modifications the usual format doesnt work well, so I am using which is easyily available on various linux distributions

I'm gonna go through the process for debian, it should be similar on other distros.

To apply the patches you need something to apply them onto.
Like I said before I had to modify a lot to get this to work so you're gonna have to grab a really specific version of the files. To help you I also have some checksums so you can make sure you have compatible ones.
For the client you will need a metin2client.bin from metin2.de (presumably any other gameforge server will work too) (poke me if there's a new release so I can update the dif)
For the server you need, a clean r34083 game, a clean r33820 db and normal qc.
Checksums for all the files:

234b9e846c85ba84137a539aca283010  db
7f22419982fbf75db82977bf0167d444  game
c15faeae82afc85a1b80d8f5b64446c1  metin2client.bin
c109b3015f95aa7ab998678bda00f6d1  qc

You can verify these checksums using md5sum on linux:

root@linux-dev:~# md5sum game
7f22419982fbf75db82977bf0167d444  game
root@linux-dev:~# md5sum db
234b9e846c85ba84137a539aca283010  db

They HAVE to match, otherwise the dif will most likely not work!

Once you've gathered all your files you can start applying the patches.
To do so you need to install bsdiff
On debian it's as easy as

apt-get install bsdiff

Once bsdiff is installed you can just apply the patches:

# bspatch input output patch_file
bspatch game game_imer game.patch
bspatch db db_imer db.patch
....

Do this for all files and then you're done!
To make sure everything went well you can, once again, verify checksums:

c239ffa9fb3a045d2a56ec54da1dcc4b  game
37e212a05d4e97c901ff534198a0c0b8  db
7484198e538bfb72fddd0d36872982ee  qc
1ade7a33d023f090ad8b0b04cc1be2f3  metin2client.bin

Otherwise just use them as you would on FreeBSD.


Setting it up on Debian Wheezy x64 aka. "Help I get file not found when I try to run anything":

dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install libc6:i386 libevent-2.0-5:i386 libmysqlclient18:i386 libdevil1c2:i386 libcrypto++9:i386

Installs all the dependencies you need.
Why havent you linked the libs statically?
Cause dynamic linking is

"HELP IT DOESNT WORK!!!"
Post here or poke me on skype.
Dont be obnoxious and keep in mind I do this for free & for fun.

Include logs, outputs and a description of what exactly doesnt work.
If you get crashes please include a core dump ()

PS: I'm assuming distributing the client dlls is fine. If not tell me and I'll remove the link

Hmm schau ich mir sofort an wenn ich zuhause bin danke schon mal <3

[nosox_2]

WHAT, youre crazy ill test this. thx for your work

[IchVerabschiedeMich]

[.He3o Copy™]

Hört sich nach verdammt viel Arbeit an...
Danke schonmal schau ich mir gleich an

[[-Lee-]]

Imer .. du bist am ***** .. alter ..
Hut ab .. echt Respekt für die Arbeit
Siet Nw3 von Tag zu Tag besser geworden

[CubeFr]

thnaks, but i have a question if it is based on 34k so there is no belt system?

[[uLow]Beni]

hmm, open source?

[.Colossus.]

Hübsche Sache und war bestimmt auch viel Arbeit.

Beantwortet trotzdem nicht die Frage.
Laut des Posts in einem anderem Forum, macht er die Source nicht public.

Offensichtlich ja nicht Open-Source, sonst hätten wir keine Binarypatches sondern Sourcepatches hier. Wenn man bedenkt wie viel arbeit da drin steckt irgendwo auch verständlich. Man hätte sich auch (theoretisch) einfach den Stream immer recorden können, so hätte man das auch alles.

/edit: Binarypatches sind genau so illegal

Source patches wären Illegal und darf man nicht posten.

Und nein, das Project ist nicht open source wegen der rechtlichen Probleme.

Hatte deine Posts schon in einem Linux Forum verfolgt, krass das du es geschafft hast.

Aso hab die Zeile übersehen: "Based on 34k"
