[Development] Mu Online Client/Server remake project

[supron]

Wow. I remember times when everyone was coding GS emulators. Now its client time! This is how our community can be stronger than rich company like webzen!
I'm also coding my client (in unity3d) for 8 months. My goal is to make client compatible with old maps format and S8 GS protocol. I'm very close to finish my project and it should take about 1-2 months to prepare public test server. All maps are loaded from old mu format, and everything is loaded dynamically. It is compatible with S8 protocol (im using igcn files) only attack protocol is different (to avoid cheating).
Here you have some screens:

I don't have any videos, because my computer works like shit, and i have 5fps while recording xD.

Good luck guys with your projects! I hope everyone will finish their project soon, and we will play on new amazing game clients.

LOL, i have to say that your project is amazing, of course, using unity is "the best" option when u need to do something fast and easy, without knowing what is really going on down there. I used unity 2 days and i did more than using my game engine in 2 weeks.

this is probably the best remake so far, because i think nobody really used the original data folder "as is", so, this is a real remake :P

edit: i would love to see the actual performance of unity...
the original mu client is the worst shit ever, i does not batch materials and animations interpolation is really bad.
MU has a "fixed" 25 fps, is forced "no to draw" more than 25 times per second, however, drawing a simple player and 10 monster around in 25 fps cost like 70% of the main loop thread consumption, this is bad, really bad
i can make my game engine in the same situation using a simple shader one weight per bone and batching monsters materials, draw the entire scene up to 1k fps...
i could even draw the entire map and 30 monsters and it would be do it faster than the original client...
and of course, i could bet... unity can do that even better! (without post rendering and smooth shadow textures of course :) )

I was coding my own engine. It took me a year and I had only maps with character animation... My friend told me "you should use unity", and I did the same things in one day! All i have to code now is game mechanics, network and interface. Today I have ~190 C# files and it grows everyday.

On my laptop intel i3, geforce gt520m I have ~80 fps without shadows and 50-70 with shadows (in game scene with interface, monsters and players). On shitty PC I have ~100-120 fps, so performance compared to old client is amazing. I cant even imagine how fast it can be on faster PCs. It uses 1gb ram, because all items are loaded at start.

btw. Im not using original mu data folder, but all I have to do is convert textures, and pack original map folder to assets bundle, so my client structure looks like:
Data\
Devias.pak
Noria.pak
Items.pak
Monsters.pak
etc.
I have even "one click" converter to do that :D.

@Down:
Im using C# sockets. I have network thread where i can receive and decode packets, then I put every decoded packet in queue. Im reading packets from queue in Update() function in main unity thread. I have to process packets in main thread because unity is not thread safe, and don't allow engine functions from another thread.

@supron
You are using your own framework network? Or you are using Photon or own framework from Unity?

is that xna?

[pcdubaum]

is that xna?

No, C++/CX and DirectX. (Windows 8.1, phone and tablet)
XAML for the UI.

in Data\World1:
TerrainHeigth to get the Heigth and create a non-flat terrain.
TerrainLight to get the original ilumination and create a dark and old-fashion lorencia.

Your HD textures for maps and items can be ported to original mu format?

It'll be awesome to use your textures like a HD Texture pack for old clients..

:( ty anyway ^^

and great project you have there =]

hope you can find time or team to finish.

all the best!

i did some progress this weekend, but like i said, i coded my own server and client, now it's pure C++ client (before was 70% C#).

edit: anyway, there are many projects here, i think they should create their own thread, they are all very different, using different game engines and even oriented to the web !
