Nova server files + source code (819)

[shrddr]

Oooh what's that cutie? Meet QQQQQ the nightowl.

Nova is kinda working but not exactly. Her shadow guards are not spawned and there's an UNKNOWN PACKET reported by the server each time you use Q. This packet does exist even in Acharnes client (id 0xBF3), but never implemented on server. Probably had some extremely niche use before, but pretty common now with the nova skills. So it's a build-from-scratch situation. I'll have to force myself to play some nova on retail first, to get a feel of how the shadow guards should work.

Not really feeling like it just now, instead spent the whole week fixing pets/servants/maids/npcworkers to maybe investigate how ai-controlled entities are handled in general.

Nice work, good luck you

OK I'm dumb it's simply CMAiOrderToNPC, and it must have been implemented before, just for the wizard golems alone. However when it cycles through the list of nova summons - there is none.

i think you add need AI file for nova summon or add in database

The skill in question is 5721 which casts buff#18123 of ModuleType=18 aka SummonCharacter. These kind of buffs should have charKey of the summonee stored in param0, but in Evo client all params are nulled out. Same issue as with Hasashin DOT, except that one had all the params helpfully listed in the tooltip, and nova summons are not. The tooltip just mentions some names like Thornwood Guard which is not particularly useful. So the task is to find which one of 15468 characters is supposed to be summoned. Obviously not doing anything when it's set to 0.

The approach here is to simply print out all characters that are new to Evo vs the 777 (there are only 2854 of those). Short excerpt: can you spot which one?

60165 요정님
60166 대지의 창
60167 마력 폭풍
60168 모래의 주술
60169 검은 군단

Much easier to include the ActionScripts that are attached to each character:

60165 요정님 PC_Summon/ShaiFairy_F
60166 대지의 창 PC_Summon/Shai_Meteorite_F
60167 마력 폭풍 PC_Summon/Wizard_Storm
60168 모래의 주술 PC_Summon/SandStormSprit
60169 검은 군단 PC_Summon/Region/BlackFighterWoman_Region_1Lv

May I suggest calling this a black fighter woman server rather than a nova server?



Aand of course the AiScript is also missing so the guard is just standing there like a dummy.

Since combat relies heavily on network quality, both client and server contain their versions of monster AI, which I suppose are identical - in order to provide consistent visuals in case of a brief connection loss. Different formats are used however: that is, xml on client and plain java on server side.

By comparing server java files from what's refered to as "the ogrefest leak" and client ai files from same time period, a conversion process can be established that makes possible to also turn post-leak client AI files to a server format. Same pipeline can then be applied beyond nova guards to new monster types, bosses, etc.

I have a barebones converter now but have to dig deeper into the AI behind-the-scenes. The issue is, blackfighter2_region.ai when called in a default fashion (via InitialState) explicitly tells the guard to kill itself after 5 cycles in Wait_hide state. So it shows no signs of actual intelligence yet, just self-destructs in a puff of smoke right after spawn.

Need to find an alternate entry point into the guard AI state machine which does not involve a premature Die() call. There's a state called Summon which looks promising. Actually a tamer wolf is automatically routed from InitialState to Summon state on cast; why couldn't they just do the same with nova guards?

shrddr, I find it absolutely amazing what you are doing, all you people like you and Ledie and caicai are incredible from my point of view. I'm barebones an idiot with stuff like this, so I just wanted to share my appreciation that you put your time and effort in this and I'm rooting for you!!

Sorry for the baseline useless post, but I just felt like expressing my gratitude ^-^ I hope it is okay.
