Enjoy. Votes are in favor for release.

Some tip.
Compile as Wikigames Release in order to not use the Authentification Server Binary.
Admin tool works as Debug mode.
Monitor tool works as Release and Debugging mode.
Many backdoor have been taken out. You have many new features and also an autoban for hackers. Really works, Many have tested it. So you don't need to add a hackshield on client side.
I think you dont need to make a vote because ragezone is a sharing community and even if im not interested in this game (just found this thread "accidently") there will always be people who you can help by releasing your stuff. Thats the main aspect of this forum i think and you often see people who dont share their work so it would be very kind of you to share your work with the others.
Regards
You think too much
I think t would be a next step, of course there are some "newbies" who are always asking because they are to lazy to use the search function or google and of course there will be a bunch of new "newbie" servers (i think you will understand what i mean), but maybe there will come at least one or two servers with really new features, so there isn't always the QQing about stealing stuff etc.
I'm pearsonally not really interested in EP 4.2 Source because i got some other Source Code of Ace Online, but maybe it would be a good decision to release it. In the end we will see it if it was good or not^^
for myself, useless that u open a vote... release it or not, in the end its up TO YOU, even if there are (for example) "20 yes, release, 2 no dont release".... in the end the descission is up to you, u also could say to yourself "ok, cause of these 2 no i wont release".... so its pretty useless to vote for it.... but thats only my part what i think ;-)
Release the source code and I'll give you a kiss. :)
If you release the source code, you will give the opportunity to everyone (those who are not leechers), to develop the server itself. Opening doors for all areas (programmer, artists and others). I need the source code of the Client to translate the game. Unfortunately the game only works with strings in headers (source).
There are several reasons to give you, but in your opinion is if you want to release the source code.
Thank you.
He only has server sided code anyway...
If you failed at completing your own 4.2 code from the released parts (like I did), it would help.
But hell no, if this starts another wave of AO servers, making the game completely uninteresting
I have source code ep4.x but not sure because I have not fully received from friends and do not know much about programming, I can upload up to experts like everyone to discover...... :)
i think this will be good for someones, how already have the source will vote "no", who dont hace source will vote "yes" and ppl how make servers for fun. but the problem is that many thread like "i have and error while compile the server",or "what program can compile this source" or something like that, cause this community just wait for "releases" to use then, i see many server with some CMS from skyfgther, with no chances, just edit config to run with this DB, many new server who only wich gain money from donate, and the servers are the sames,
so, i say, yes release the source, for someones will be good, for others no, someones have already the source, and naturaly don´t like who otherones have it.
but this will no change anything, just new or older server (with ep 3.5 releases some time ago from TTlove or something like that i dont remember) will be more customs, in some case,if server owners know how to program it, this will be good for players, and a servers diversity will appear. or maybe no, just the same compiled server from your release,.
so, if you wish release it, this will be good for this community but as ever, will be dead some time after, or i don´t know, im drunk :b . so release it.
best regards .. ME :v and my f****king english it´s bad, but i think i explain somethings clearly to understand.
- - - Updated - - -
i´m with you, server owners need to customs they servers, translate clients to another language, or visual effects. like diferent text found, new colors ,etc.Quote:

it´s good new servers with new ideas, the game turn uninteresting cause ppl don´t like the same server, they wish something new, and just 2 or 3 server can do it. for example, someone open a new server with 3.5 files. thay have 3 opcions, 1. make a "normal" server, like level up, low rate exp., 2. full pvp, they get 110 level, no missions, just go to war, or a "hybrid server" give some level and after they have to go level, they have to farm to get items, like normals server but more "easy", en case 1. no much ppl like that, if they found this kind of Pserver, i thing will be more good be on a oficial server, cause in my case, i search a Pserver, for fun, war, sp ms, etc. and no stay hourser on maps farming exp, the 2°, sometimes is borring cause, just stay hours on lab looking for good fixes, but during a war, you dead by 1 hit from donators, this turn borring and ppl go from server eventualy. the case 3 is sometimes the best way, user will have something to do, in case that there isn´t war or any event .Quote:

Honestly, at this point I don't see why not.
With the popularity of this game at such a small number anymore. it really shouldn't matter, if you want to get players back in this game. your going to start doing things like this and hoping someone can do something that can draw players back in. Now I know we really can't do huge changes that would draw in ALOT of players without client source code but still it would be nice for maybe those few new devs to the game that are just picking up the game just to help out and have no connections with some of the more well known devs here and would help get them started. I mean you never know what may come out of this.
I mean honestly, if you really want to know why this game is going to shit. Its because all the players leave the game because either the main server goes cash shop crazy, so they jump to a PServer. The pserver they're on gets hacked or goes down so they go to another, And from there its just rinse and repeat cause everyone has always been all butt hurt about their special files. But when things seem to get released. The games come back again for some strange reason. Mostly cause there is a lot more serves so all those players can find that one server they like that isn;t like the rest. Then some others copy it, make some better shit and so on. But long story short, keeping files back and arguing over them has ruined this community and possible the entire Pserver player base of this game, within my 20 person brig that I held over 6 servers. I know for a fact that 10+ of them quit the game completely just due to servers bickering and hacking each other.
~Note~ NOTHING I SAY ABOVE IS RELIVANT TO CUSTOM CODED CLIENTS/SERVER MODS/CUSTOM CODE! I see that as something that SHOULD be kept back as it is COMPLETELY different from having just another server and working on it your self. as anyone can put up a server and run it. But if you have custom things that you have coded( Custom maps, Clients, Working Client mods, Server mods/Protection, Etc. ) Then that's all yours and no one else should have rights to it unless you are personally just feeling generous or was paid to release it to them. i am only talking about BASE code/Server files/Clients NOTHING custom.
On that note, To anyone objecting this server code release. Think of it like this.
Most pservers that are going to be shit, wont use this. As half of them will be " OMG IT WON"T COMPILE. FILES BAD." While the actually devs who can use it can do some nice changes to it and maybe make a smoother, better server with it.
Think of it like building a computer. Lazy/Dumb ones would rather have it completed for them cause they know nothing and the other will know what they're doing and can complete it them selves.
In more detail,there is going to be the dumb asses that will think they know what they're doing until they realize that they don't and screw everything up and have no clue how to do anything related to that sort Then they will just start begging for someone to compile it or just give up completely and go back to 3.5 or what ever is currently released
Where you going to have the people who actually either know what they're doing or are going to take the time to learn what to do just by working with it and learning what to do, step by step trying to get better at it. THEY will be the ones actually using the code, Not the dumb assed crappy server owners that have no clue what they are doing. and THEY will run proper servers, and if they come across a problem I'm 90% sure they will give the effort to try and learn how to fix it even if they don't know how.
TL;DR
Server populations are screwed for this game due to server bickering.
Releasing server is a step in the good direction for helping new dev's and old that was waiting on this.
Stupid players/owners won't get anything off of it. Anyone that isn't lazy will actually benefit off of it.
Releasing this and maybe if someone wants to release a compatible client code could bring more players back into the pserver community with decent custom content as long as server owner wars don't fuck it up again.
If this forum was actually focused on game development I would say, why not release it?
However, most people here are not developers, therefore, they are unable to contribute. Instead, leechers make developers sick of this place... This is why you won't see me active anymore after all. So, as long as spam and annoyance by leechers is allowed and tolerated by this community, releasing anything will only attract more leechers while making developers go away... It will also increase the amount of useless and pointless posts, such as questions that have been answered multiple times already. In fact, this has already happened.
Seriously, there should be a "Help for Noobs" section here, most threads would fit it. Because, guess what, I am a developer and I simply do not want to see that kind of threads. Moreover, developers will prefer to contribute somewhere where their work is at least appreciated, so I don't think they will contribute here. All in all, releasing anything will not benefit the RZ community but individuals who make their own teams and do not release their work here.
If I were you and felt generous, I would instead make my own forum with my own rules and release stuff there, for developers only. I am pretty sure that with the right rules you can keep a forum clean; yet nobody seems to care. Makes sense, since the purpose of this forum is attracting new people, rules cannot be strict. But if I had my own forum for game development I wouldn't care about how many people visit it; I would only care about whether they can make any development.
On a side note, I appeared here and people start spamming my inbox again... Seriously, you need to solve your problems on your own. If you want me to solve your problems, you will have to pay me, this is how it works.
i say yes for the minority of dev who can maybe made some proof of there skill with these files.
most people enough skill to work with that already have those files. but it's can may be attract some new people, who will wish to work on some more ambitious project than just compile some bin from a source code.
so share it and see, in the baddest way you will be spam of pm from people that don't understand how to start vs, in the better way we will ee some new dev skilled helping to improve the server and may be a day the client.
My point was that, since nobody really keeps this place clean, we should probably expect the worst scenario... If you think about it you will notice there has been no important activity in the development section lately. This seems to back up my point.
So my question is, why feed something that isn't working?
major rules infraction are cleaned, now the real problem i a part of help asking people don't take time to search before ask something, may be made a new "must be read" with last answer can be an idea to avoid to see these thread or a new good justification to delete them, I will start that and see if the section become cleaner I will ask to my superior for a small change of the sub forum structure too. after just for knowledge of all ace online is not the worst section at all my work is minor (some post to delete some time, if one of my superior don't do that before me like in this thread ^^)
by the way, Pankj your ask i listened, for the rest I have speak with you about my think.
Now warOnline you can do what you want this thread don't have more reason to stay open more than 24h more, I will close this one in 24h so if you wish to share don't ask and do if you don't wish this thread don't have reason to be here that all.
hope to see some new interesting and interested people if source code is shared else my hope stay same ^^

*edit
i wont vote cause in my eyes this threat is useless
I would argue that, without a section where every single useless thread/post is moved or deleted, this place can only work as a gathering place for everyone else but developers. Most people I know have already lost faith in this community (if they had any at first place). You can release whatever you like but don't expect to see any improvement.
And don't forget the challenge I posted a year ago in the developers' section; it is yet one more proof that nobody is interested in sharing their work, if they are capable of doing something more "advanced" that is. Truth be told, the (simple in my opinion) challenge I posted seemed to be too hard for people here. When you say "I'm gonna release these files" on the other hand, everyone is eager to download them. Heck, someone has to tell them that according to common sense they shouldn't be viewing these posts.
PS: I wouldn't just ask people to be understanding and make sure they follow the rules. I would show them that the rules are fully effective. Easy example: http://forum.ragezone.com/f612/user-...count-1008272/ Tell me, don't threads like this (especially in that section) create a negative image? Yeah, keep asking them to follow your rules, they couldn't care less.
Wow the return of PanKJ ^^...whatever... its stupid to give something like that too all. Because it will be like with the files 3.5, we will see all sh*t servers what open and close after some day. And i think that source code what you have its incomplete and you dont know how to make it work... nobody want take it from you darkmandos for 1000 euro?
And Kasistar your server was dead too if you dont remember, now you have only some user...
There arent many stable server online, the only of it are SBS and SF, SkyShadow was too good and has got many players.
@Phoenix2291
ACE Online is dying and only the Sky Fighter has average of 100 players online. SBS and Sky Shadow just have the administrators playing in your own server.
@decarvk
24 hours has passed.
There is no need for this topic to stay open. Will always have these members advocating the source code of an outdated game and who can not administer own server and still says it is a "programmer".
I decided to release it. I was tired to see people selling the files. It turned out that I was for a while the same. I changed my real life, in a wonderful one, and as my last release, will be this. I hope people will start to talk and find it useful and if not the veterans of this sub-forum, then the newbies to figure out together. Have a nice day everyone and a good life! I won't be online very often from now on.
The link will be added in this thread on my 1st post.
@WARonline
Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately does not contain the source client.

This source was released because darkmandos dont know how work with source code.
@Viserion ... SkyFighter have only old players, SkyShadow for now is offline but on that server dont play only staff they has got more then 100 players... and SBS have some players, arent much because the game was edited all by the devs of that staff and m,any players dont like how it was maked. This 3 servers are more secure then other ... and the best servers dont have realy much players because there open day for day new servers with writed ALL FREE ... and all players go there and after some days or max some weeks the server go down because dont have protection...
For the source code released its only an big SH*T
@Chris9400 who made you so smart? You don't even know anything about me but still talk. Shut the f up and stop qqing.
For your general info, I don't have time anymore to spend on servers due to my new job. (When you will get 23.000 euro a month, you will understand.
And for your question that will reveal in your head about what is my work, I work as a Broker to Windsor Broker Company.
@WARonline
You were selling the complete source code of the game (server and client). Is there any possibility of release?
hi everyone, this is in my computer, maybe is sourcecode (from my friend), and if is true i can upload to show anyone make it (release), this file is 1,9GB
p/s: sr my english....:D
http://i947.photobucket.com/albums/a...psf7d0150a.png
Did you tried to compile it? Could be the incomplete one from inetpub
nice share.thx!
if you released 4.1 maybe we should releae 4.4 with client source? ;>
I think its enough for the next time, if this forum is getting active again with development and no leeching QQ post with questions what can be answered with google or brain then it could be time to release the client source or a partwise client source. but for now they can improve their skills with the server code
:thumbup1:
This is a very complete source!All perfect compiled by vs2008.Thx again!
Attachment 147295Attachment 147296Attachment 147297Attachment 147298
So let's see, a thread about bickering and wisecracking, sounds like I should join the fray!
As KenshinCE explained in quite some detail, the release of this incomplete code package will prove to be completely futile, seeing as it's just another re-iteration with some junk removed of the already crippled version out there.
Most servers out there are complete garbage and all they can do is "make items" by copy pasting garbage all across the already crap-filled item database and then call it custom content.
Now that two version of this crippled garbage are out there, why don't you put your bickering tools aside and start actually trying to work on server sided features that won't require any client integration?
Why not prove your worth by actually showing that you can do more than just pull a "HURR DURR I KNOW NOTHING BUT I AM PRO SERVUR OWNARRR".
Until you actually do such a thing, you should refrain from posting your opinions, as they carry no weight.
Have a good day.
You also forgot to mention that even with the released(partial) source code AND released 4. without DB's. No one made a server with anything different at all. They just basicly compiled it and went " HEY GUYS I HAVE EP4.x NOW!" Which completely defeats the purpose of releasing the source code or even having it. Even if you can code and know what your doing, Your basicly wasting your time if you don't know what your going to do with it. There has been only maybe 2-3 servers that I know of that even did ANYTHING to their servers even tho they had the source code.Quote:

I just wish someone would put a proper source code to good use. :| this game needs it bad considering how messed up masang has this game right now.
thanks nice !!!!
1. I agree with dragonlord, you can easily create new features, like a custom nation IF, custom triggers and other events, something like a survival if with waves etc only with server source
2. Just in case, for those who have problems, use google the source compiles fine with vc6.0
3. KenshinCE have fun with improving it, it's totally crap, thei are using more than 5 lines to reverse a bool with if / else if etc as an example
@St34lth4ng3l
You can add news things with ASM in Client too, but low-language is boring and complicated.. ;)
@DragonLord
You can answer a question?
You converted the source code for the new version of Visual Studio? If so, many problems arose (bugs)?
You will always encounter issues when you convert legacy code to modern standards.
Most of the code is garbage to begin with, even by legacy standards.
Yeah....I kinda knew about this when I saw their older files(ep2.x/ep3) pops up thousands of warnings ._.Quote:

Nah ep 3.5 compile runs fine (serverside, clientside there are MANY linker warnings), but their code is still crap, just look at their logging etc, no one can really understand it whats written there without any knowledge about the files
and one problem (maybe it's only me), i don't like their names..something like q_pD3dApp bla bla bla..., just as an offtopic example, TrinityCore Devs (it's a World of Warcraft Core) is using much better names for static objects, like sWorld and not such a shit with _ etc in it....
Just look at my Sig (thanks @Future that i'm allowed to use it^^), it says nearly everything about the source and masang
Yeah that's is one thing that always confused me.
Its almost like who ever made it made sure that no one who came along after them( or that was hired to help/speed up the process) could do anything that easily. Infact it I think this was all entirely intentional, Just due to how offen it appears.
This may be why so many core features never got upgraded or optimized, Including the graphics engine. Altho I guess I can't really say that as they are using the EXACT same engine for their new game that seems to lag just as much... ( for anyone who has no clue about this, Come get a good laugh here. Yeah.... Masang is doing it again)
working :)

All complied and Working!

@Murat Yereseren
Stop waste your time with this code. Spend your time with at least the basics of C ++ and stop spamming this thread with unnecessary questions.
Just select a configuration...not the standart ones -.-

~98% of the errors you get are due to revisions of the standard since VC6 came out. There have been 4 revisions. And at least C++03 should be a requirement for VS2008
This Documentation can be helpful to solve most of the incompatibilities caused by this: C++ Language and Standard Libraries

we define them ?
its errors because youre not including standard files ndded to compile (it should include when youre selecting build configuration).
Anyway by just reading carefouly posts above you should understood how to compile files correctly.
ugrading to VS2008 its good to learn how o fix some issues but you should upgrade it to 2012 or 2013 then you will do a good work with these files.
Just ry to upgrade source without destroying code.

You have to use compiler predefinitions to include files from outdated loops. You can also modify these loops. Check where these files are included in source in your case you're missing just one compiler predefinition. If you cannot find that please leave this source.
Well, can you give tips where this fileQuote:

In Contents.h are defined values needded in LocalizationDefineCommon.h
For example if youre compiling bins for Wikigames you have to add compiler predefinition

and thats all...Code:_DEFINED_GAMEFORGE4D_
