Looking for Zero Online Untranslated Unedited Client/Server Files

[Xerophite]

Yet another "does anyone have the server files?" post. If the title doesn't get you to understand what I'm looking for, then I'll write it out in plain text.

Simply stated, I just want the unedited files, there used to be a bunch of links around but none of them seem to work. If anyone has files that can be used to really get going on creating a server, let me know.

I have a somewhat okay knowledge of C#, and Mysql so I don't think that will be an issue. I'm totally willing to really put in some work, translate everything and get some stuff working.

I tried reaching out to Idle, but not sure if he really comes to this forum much anymore. I reached out to SoullessKiller but no luck.

Remnant-Zero is basically a dead server, the technical issues that arise from the games age are apparent. There's no real reason to gatekeep the files anymore imo, but I understand working hard on something and not wanting to release it either.

Let me know if anyone is interested in helping me out!

No big deal, either way. I will figure it out. I have a lot of programming experience regardless of what it uses. I was under the impression it used mostly C# but if not still not a problem.

the Zero section has been dead for years if you want to use C# you should turn to Conquer

That's okay, I liked Conquer but I liked Zero Online more. I don't mind trying to find the files even if just for educational purposes. I know other programming languages as well, LUA, Python and various others so no big deal on that front.

I'll be playing on Remnant Zero, awaiting either SoullessKiller to allow me to help him, or another person to provide files I can start working on my own server.

So the game engine is the same between zero and conquerer I believe. Or already 1 of tq's games.

The server end had
Account server
Game server
And I forget the other one. A quick check of the forums will answer that.

The client side used a lot of lua for accepting outside of what was in the data files. So things like thruster percentage used etc was in there. I remember people using this to have infinite thrusters.
Also flash was used...

Just disassemble the client.
Grab the Chinese one from the official servers, still going on that side. Strip the age restriction stuff china forced in.

A lot of work but if you learn enough and have the visual assets from the official server along with the rest you'll have every update. And since you'll be building a new server side and client side you can choose how to implement everything.
Several free game engines out there if you don't want to build your own.

Oh if you do build your own. Maybe look into making that SQL server less annoying. Or dump SQL entirely. Just need a database that is accessible and secure and supports the searches you want from your clients.

Oh the 3rd server I think was the message server.
