Hello
This is a ProjectPowder server emulator in early stages.
It uses this client:

With this modified exe:

Source:

You must be registered to see links

(Old version without db:

)

Sources are in c++, compiler is visual c++ 2015 or gcc 4.9, and uses the Boost library.
An exe is included in ps.zip in case anyone wants just to try it out.
To try: install Project Powder (1st link), extract and overwrite files from run.zip(2nd link) start pp.exe from 3rd link, and finally run the game by run.exe.

Username and password can be anything, doesn't matter.


(Probably also needs visual studio's runtimes, wich should be optainable from microsoft in case its missing)

Re: ProjectPowder server emulator

Great to see this stuff!
Remember being ranked 1st in World on a few maps back on Outspark (Smallpox and Chagal)!

Btw, you might want to add Snowbound Online in the title, as that was a more developed version from BlueCat (the devs) who joined up Gamigo as an in-house team back in the day.

Re: ProjectPowder server emulator

Added link to bluecat file extractor in 1st post.
About bluecat files: there are no filenames for the files in bluecat, only hashes. The hashing algorithm is pretty much this:

You must be registered to see links

In fact, the hashing algorithm is so effective that it is called a one-way hash. A one-way hash is a an algorithm that is constructed in such a way that deriving the original string (set of strings, actually) is virtually impossible.

So filenames cannot be extracted.
It does make a guess on the extension based on the files contents.

About snowbound online, i played both pp and sbo, the only difference i can recall are flags near the name and more tracks to race on.
I won't try to emulate sbo unless the new tracks cannot be added to the pp client.

Re: ProjectPowder server emulator

Characters have bodies now, updated links in first post.

Re: ProjectPowder server emulator

Update: implemented room & relay features. Racing should work with multiple players seeing eachother.
Map selection doesn't work, maps are supposed to be unlocked during levelling, wich i didn't find the packet for so far, workaround is typeing "map [id]" in chat.
Server ip can be specified in command line like this:

• pp.exe "game_ip=myip.whatever"

game_ip defaults to localhost.

Ip in the client can be set in server.cfg

Edit: characters can be changed from inventory

Re: ProjectPowder server emulator

Thank you for the release , I would like play this game but when I compile (with boost and visual C++ 2015) it shows error message type syntax ( { should be here ...) .
I tried the pp.exe , it show only the "Game ip: my.ip.my.ip(127.0.0.1)" , and I think it should show more like the logs say (ports and other) .

I try also to connect but giving "Reconnecting to server" .

Thanks .

Sent you a pm

Re: ProjectPowder server emulator

Implemented packets for ingame messenger, partially done crew (guild) system and rewrote networking abit to provide a fast path for relay server.
Updated links in the first post.

Clothes and map selection still doesn't work.
To select map you can type
map 15
where 15 can be any number from -1 to like 32

And a little about client modding:
To get more tracks, download SnowboundOnline_Client_20.exe from this nice website:

You must be registered to see links

Copy the newer tracks from datafiles\Tracks from the snowbound client to the Project Powder one.
Than in the Project Powder client, find cfgs.BlueCat, and extract it to a directory of your choice.

blackcat.exe cfgs.BlueCat

Find File43.txt. (You are looking for a file containing the word "TrackDefine")
Open it, it is a lua script. Uncomment every commented track (Lua uses --[[ and --]] for multiline comments)
Save File43.txt, and import it back to cfgs.BlueCat:

blackcat.exe cfgs.BlueCat 43 File43.txt

(The resulting file will be bigger, blackcat removes the compression in the bluecat file at importing)
This will produce a cfgs.BlueCat.out file, copy it back to Project Powder and rename it to cfgs.BlueCat.
Start the client and youll have more maps (mapid's range from 0 to like 32).

Or if you are too lazy (or maybe i made a mistake in the above text) you can just download this:

(Youll still need the sbo client to copy the newer tracks from)

This client still doesn't have sand madness, giant ruins and shangri-la. If anyone finds those share please
Also any information on the fashion clothes would be very helpful. (or maybe even old logs from an old and used client's /Logs subdirectory)

 

[Duo4]

Implemented guilds, pretty much everything "should" work except shop (costumes).
This version needs a database (mysql), see snowflake.sql and config.ini in ps02.zip. config.ini has to be in the same directory as pp.exe.
Fixed map selection in rooms, altough i did not find the packet to enable it, so i ended up altering the client.
Please download run.exe again:

Updated links in the first post.

For creating an account see the stored function named register.
Alternatively you can type "create_account name passwd character_name" in pp's console window as well.

 

[xlw00tlx]

cant login in game
client opens and closes using the last run.exe file on win10x64
it crashes at "initializing enect resources"
now it shows a small window that says "invalid conversion"

 

[Duo4]

Works for me on win7. I did try that exe with a clean install of pp before i uploaded it, and i redownloaded it now to doublecheck, but it works.
Maybe win10 doesn't like fullscreen?
Attached a gameoption.cfg that should set your client to start windowed.

 

[xlw00tlx]

on top of windows says "deinitializing tasks" then game dies
tried compatibility mode and run as admin with no result also disabled panda antivirus

[Duo4]

In the client's server.cfg set AUTH to false:

[COLOR=#666666]AUTH = [B]false[/B];[/COLOR]

I believe that was set to false by default in project powder clients.
If its true it doesn't ask for login name and password (probably passed by command line)
The snowbound launcher used that method.

Edit: nvm i was wrong, a clean install of PP does have AUTH = true;
Reuploaded run.zip, added a server.cfg to it with AUTH = false;
