[Development] Point Blank Emulator 3.24 [C# - PostgreSQL]

[FusionDev]

POINT BLANK EMULATOR​

Point Blank Emulator is an emulator of Point Blank client 3.24 (last Piercing Blow client) that aim to be as most stable and coded as possible.

All the emulators currently around are poorly made and not very customizable servers, so I started working to finish the 3.24 server (original link: https://forum.ragezone.com/f904/release-blank-evolution-2020-a-1172826/) by fixing the major problems and coding the missing packages.

The server will be customizable as much as possible, with a new system of commands and permissions that will make it possible to adapt to your liking.

Tecnology:
Actually the server is coded in C# with .Net Framework, but I'll move it to .Net Core soon.
For the database it use PostgreSQL.

Features:

Spoiler

- Rooms (create, change host, change team, etc.)
- Inventory (weapons, characters, items, random box, etc.)
- Shop (buy weapons, characters, items, sets, random box, etc.)
- Missions (all the base mission cards work properly)
- Titles
- Daily visit events
- Battles (bomb, deathmatch, free-for-all, AI, eliminate, sniper mode, shotgun mode, knuckle)

Why PostgreSQL ?

Re: [Development] Point Blank Emulator [C# - PostgreSQL]

Why PostgreSQL ?

The server it is based on uses postgresql, so I continued with that. Probably later, however, I will switch to MySql (probably with a v2 from scratch, because the server is really badly written and it would take me less to do it from scratch)

If you are rewriting why don't you change, else you will only writing the same code again, go different from the owned of project you're using as base project.

I'll move to mysql, but for now I prefer to keep postgresql.

Re: [Development] Point Blank Emulator [C# - PostgreSQL]

Hey bro. Im developer server OZ Network (Hello from 2015)
Good look bro but use net core.
However the game is already dead and does not bring interest.
I did a lot for this game. More than the rest here. Without me, PVP, shop and other things would not have appeared.
I lost interest in this because the game became dead. Almost no one plays it
But in any case, I wish you good luck If I can help you with something, I will be glad

I will probably load all on GitHub, then I will share the link

- Added 'items' table where Battle server pick informations about weapons
- Now damage is limited by items informations on 'items' table
  - Added configuration to allow or deny damage from unlisted items
  - Added configuration to turn off this protection
- Added auto ban for users who use auto-kill on bot mode
- Added auto ban for users who seems to have hack (PROTOCOL_BATTLE_TIMERSYNC_REQ)
  - Can be turned on / off from config
- Added configuration 'ClearToken' to clear Token after login
    (I recommend leaving it active for safety reasons. The token must be regenerated by the launcher at each start)
- Remove "shop" table, moved to:
    - 'item_goods' for weapons, characters & normal items
    - 'item_goods_effects' for effect items  - Both the table have now a 'discount' value, it will automatically calculate the price and add the 'sale' icon
    - Now goods don't need multiple line for more days, can just be added with a comma splitting them

im keeping an eye at this project , good job and good luck
give me your discord , willing to give you an offer

 

[Tryout]

Much btter if you will start from scratch and use MySQL instead of PostgreSQL since you are using the shared file then why don't just get those pointers so you can start from scratch as a base source? If I found my source with a bugless fixes I will share it here.

Actually a few days ago I started developing my emulator for the client v1 (it will support all clients from v1.15.37 to v1.15.42).
From now on, this post will no longer be about the server for v3, but for v1.

About the new emulator:
- I'm using Mysql
- I'm creating the emulator with a slightly different structure than usual, there will be no separate projects for the authentication server and the game server, but only a single server that must be started with specific parameters


This is how I structured that:

And for start it:

The project will be open source on GitHub when it actually makes sense (i.e. when we have a minimal base), so the community can contribute.

When I tried to refactor some old server last year I was like, its better to write a new one from scratch. I gave up after trying to figure out what mess was written.

Hopefully you can build something cool thats actually cleanish.

Might I suggest to use dapper so you're not stuck with a specific database type.
Also try to use dependency injection, it makes it all a lot cleaner.
Seperate logic from the packets and move it to services so parts can be re-used and are not implemented in the packet.

I'm on vacation and for 3 weeks I can't go to the pc, as soon as I come back and work on the project I will at least try to use dapper because it seems very flexible to me

why you left v 3.24 , because v3 have a lot to development not like v1 ?

 

[FusionDev]

why you left v 3.24 , because v3 have a lot to development not like v1 ?

I'm working on v1 just because i've a private server running with v1.15.41, so if I end this emulator I can use it instead of v3 client.

Finally back to work on the project, actually I'm editing the server for support multi-database (MySQL and PostgreSQL for now)
As suggested by The General I'm using Dapper. (Configuration:

)

What I did for now:
- Support for multi-versions on Auth Server packets (1.15.37, 1.15.38, 1.15.39, 1.15.41 and 1.15.42)
- Support for client with token login (for old indonesia, thailand and kaybo client that need to login)
- Shop list / buy
- Time items activation
- Started some works for mission cards

As always I'm developing it so keep it as simple as possible to setup and edit, this is for example how I have done the shop:
