Azure (Java, Post-shuffle)

https://forum.ragezone.com/cache.php...%2FYXpE58z.png
Azure Java by "Azure Group"

I'd like to welcome you all to our development thread. This has not been undergoing development for long, so bare with us!
We've done most networking and packet handling, so we're close to the fun part!

Libraries, dude?!
Netty - Networking
Gradle - Building
HikariCP - Connection Pooling
Guice - Dependency Injection
Hibernate - ORM / Database Management
log4j - Logging
Trove - Collections/Storage Handling

Which release, bro?!
We're currently using the same release as the 2.0.100 build, so it's PRODUCTION-201506161211-776084490.

What I want to know is, crypto?!?!
Of course are we going to implement Habbo's crypto and in a proper way, so that we won't receive complaints about it being anywhere near to 'slow'.

Azure Java's Team

• @scottstamp851
• @Dominicus
• @Caustik
• @Wotsuba
• @KyleeIsProzZ

Why the change?
The previous Azure base was destroyed on several factors, and missing a lot of core code and functionality so we thought it would just be easy to create a new project in Java.

Snippets

Packet handling

Code:

---

public class MessageHandler {
    private static HashMap<Short, Method> messages = new HashMap<Short, Method>();
    private static final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(MessageHandler.class);
    private static boolean initialized = false;

      @POSTConstruct
    synchronized void init() {
        if (initialized) {
            return;
        }

        initialized = true;
        logger.info("Scanning for MessageEvents");
        String pkg = "org.azure.communication.messages";

        Reflections reflections = new Reflections(new ConfigurationBuilder()
            .setUrls(ClasspathHelper.forPackage(pkg))
            .setScanners(new MethodAnnotationsScanner()));

        Set<Method> methods = reflections.getMethodsAnnotatedWith(MessageEvent.class);
        for (Method method : methods) {
            MessageEvent event = method.getAnnotation(MessageEvent.class);

            if (method.getReturnType().equals(Void.TYPE) && event != null && event.enabled()) {
                if (messages.containsKey(event.messageId())) {
                    logger.error("Message ID collision: {}::{} with {}::{}",
                            messages.get(event.messageId()).getDeclaringClass().getSimpleName(),
                            messages.get(event.messageId()).getName(),
                            method.getDeclaringClass().getSimpleName(),
                            method.getName()
                    );
                    System.exit(1); // Fatal error
                }

                Parameter[] params = method.getParameters();
                if (params.length == 2 && params[0].getType() == Session.class && params[1].getType() == ClientMessage.class) {
                    logger.info("Registered {}::{} to id {}",
                            method.getDeclaringClass().getSimpleName(),
                            method.getName(),
                            event.messageId()
                    );
                    messages.put(event.messageId(), method);
                }
            }
        }
    }

    public static void invoke(Session session, ClientMessage message) {
        if (session == null || message == null) return;
        if (!messages.containsKey(message.opCode)) {
            logger.info("Unknown message (id: " + message.opCode + " session: " + session.getId() + ") " + message.toString());
            return;
        }

        logger.debug("Incoming message (id: " + message.opCode + " session: " + session.getId() + ") " + message.toString());
        try {
            messages.get(message.opCode).invoke(null, session, message);
        } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
            logger.error("Error", e);
        } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
            logger.error("Error", e);
        }
    }
}

We're open to suggestion and feedback, to answer your question now, we're not 100% about whether the Azure Development in C# will continue or not, but for right now... this is our main focus.

We're using Netty 4.x and as of right now we've finished our server's Packet Handling so we'll have in-game snippets sooner than later.

Protocol Testing:

Finally, something good.

Reflection in Java is slow. I would only ever use reflection in Java when the server first boots up.

Which is also what it does. When the server is booting up, it'll run the MessageHandler's init void to load all packets within our header file :):

My mistake, I thought it was being called every time a packet was requested.

Carry on. :D:

I see you have taken a leap out of @The General's book.

Good luck with your dev.

So the old Azure project is dead?

Yep, but we're still supporting it :):
New features will NOT be added, though bug fixes and security patches will! :):

So why the sudden change from C# to Java? Why not consider more effective languages when you're going to write it from scratch anyway?

Because our team agreed upon this language as most of them are familiar and comfortable with it...

Although, now I'm curious as to what language you would recommend?

Ontopic: Good luck with the project, Azure Team! I'm sure that you guys will do a great job.

Core in C++ and content/features in LUA. That way people could code their own commands, content, furnish and all the shit they want

But Java is cool as well.

C++ is a bad idea if you don't have at least one experienced C++ developer on your team..

That would be me...

Theres your answer right there.

Moving to C++ would shift all the responsibility on to one developer, which makes no sense in a team environment. Learning C++ to a good standard would also taken a few months if not a few years.

Does anyone wanna see me put together a draft database later on?!
(I know there's some relational nerds out there)

Finally some experienced people

I am confident as long as @scottstamp851 is the leader.

Goodluck!

He's not the leader, I am. Why wouldn't you be confident if it's anyone else?
Thanks! :):

You could've just simply copied my thread. You did nada research on why you've choosen certain things.

So this is what this truce (or whatever you call it) you wanted to declare.

Java can preform very good aswell as you can optimise java binaries for the processor

Ssst. @oleaa You're really pathetic. @MentaL @ChewBecca @Not4You @Shoelace @Kreeate @vLife (Check his post below mine and then his history)

Guice is a widely used DI framework, DI is used for testability and modularising your app

Hibernate is a rock solid ORM library which is easy to use and very powerful (besides, who doesn't like enterprisey java?)

Netty is a good library for building highly performant network applications, developed by people who know what they're talking about

I wish you guys the best of luck with your project. It's weird that you guys made a sudden change since you guys started on Azure 2 in C#. So you guys said that you're going to still support Makes a little bit no sense since you're not going to update it. It totally defeats the purpose of writing 2. So this does mean that you guys are now developing Azure 3?

In the main post, it states that the source has been touched too many times by far too many, which makes it near impossible to properly bug fix anything. There's too many cheap hacks for the bugs, so it creates its own bugs :L

Haha, and the guilty of the Fucking code was who? Ah yeah, The "new developers" from Azure. Because that i left Azure some months ago.
But everyone said "Azure 2.0 will be awesome you will see", i'm seeing. Yeah, really seeing.

So everything in Java is just yours to take? We wanted in the game as well! Java is a sweet language, which is also why we chose to make changes.
These changes has been long coming..

This is actually the most work I've ever done related to the Azure repo. I just gave up when you left because everything turned to shit.

You mightn't have been the best C# developer but you put more effort, hard work, and compassion into the project then all of us, and that's why when you left, we quickly realized how much we needed you.

Please do not think all of your hard work has not be recognized, best of luck on Apy also!

Same thing they're now saying. We'll see. Probably ends up the same way like Habbo4Java.

Only future can tell how this will turn out.

Good luck.

Habbo4Java was released bro

Why are you so angry all the time?

Jesus Christ, could you guys just stop reading my posts with a negative attitude towards me? I know you all hate me.

I just tell these people / you goodluck and all I get is shit.

Despite being released, H4J was far from finished.

I can see why you asked me for Crowley (good java emu) now =3

We were discussing on reviewing Crowley before we even started the development, and you'll see code written by Jordan in Azure Java because of the fact that a few of our developers happen to be very close friends with him.

And Azure does not contain code that is not written originally by one of the developers, everything is synced through code review. However, they're a few exceptions when it comes to referencing back to past software made by AZURE or its DEVELOPERS.

That's mostly true. I'm using a bit of code that Jordan wrote for his successor to Crowley, but it's just handling bootstrapping and DI and tidying up some of the packet handling. Done with his permission of course.

In other words: we all really suck at naming things. Azure's become a bit of a household name around here, it made sense to carry on the legacy.

On a related note, I'm looking for a Java developer that's got a decent bit of experience with Netty 4.x. I know a bit, enough to get us off the ground, but I'm hitting snags with our codec pipeline. If anyone's interested shoot me a PM.

I'm also having some problems with our crypto implementation being a little unreliable (sometimes it feeds garbage keys to the client, it's about 80% successful right now), if that sounds like a fun one to debug I'd love the help. Not at all against ripping out the current implementation entirely, it's a bit messy.

One small step for man, one giant leap for my understanding of Netty. Hotel View's up! http://i.imgur.com/6jnJ3Ie.png

I love the name Azure, Boris created the name.. I remember in 2014 when i said, you want to create something revolutionary? Yeah, the call it Azure!

The name itself is weird, but the name has a lot of efforts, "clouds", "perfomance", is a really hell and pretty name. The most funniest is Boris created the Azure name before Microsoft created "Windows Azure, Microsoft Azure"... in time of 2010 Boris already created this name.. MS Azure launched in 2012..

Soo good luck for yours. Yours will have a BIG job. But please, this time, good code! Because yours are in a "competition" with Wesley (General), he is a good dev. And he is some years in head in development.. So his emulator already have a lot of functions and is really good coded.

I really didn't understood why other Java. I really preffer C++ (is more HARD but perfomance is better). But Java is more easy to hang and build in any Computer or Device that have Java.

Again,
Good Luck,
Regards of Ex-Captain Claudio. xD

Can you guys publish your work to a public version control system? Myself (and others) would love to closely follow the progress you make as you make it. If you guys are concerned about having your public version control system shut down, then use the public version control system as a mirror of your private version control system (it's easy to set this up with a small script).

Good luck! It's to my understanding that this is the first project to be posted in the Habbo Development section in many years that involves quite a few members of this community! Exciting!

We're planning to set up a public repository soon, just need to sort a few things out beforehand however.

I'm all for the idea, but historically development tends to work out a bit better in this sub-forum when open-source projects are kept internal until they're completed enough for a public unveiling.

When we're at that stage I'll personally host the repository on one of my offshore servers and setup a couple mirrors. Here's hoping it's the right call.

This may be true; however, here's to hoping that you're making new history, not following old history. (=

I'll keep it in mind, but that's ultimately a group decision and I don't think the rest of the team would be too keen on the idea.

Here's an overview of what I finished tonight (most of the hotel view):https://forum.ragezone.com/cache.php...xpraZIgwk8.gif

Why not just quit using Netty all together and use the normal Java NIO sockets?

Netty is just a wrapper over it.

I'm assuming you're having issues with the decoders?

This may help you out: LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder (Netty API Reference (4.0.33.Final))

Altough C++ is in most cases faster, it has the disadvantage that it isn't managed. Memory leaks are easily created as you have to delete each object that you create manually. Besides that cross compatibility is something you don't have. Thats why Java's slogan is 'Write once, run anywhere'.

I could make a whole list of benefits and disadvantages of them both but thats not whats about. They just want to make an emulator in a language they're comfortable with.

Learning a new language is something you just don't do overnight (Especially C++)

Database from Azure 2.0 is so.. Azure '-'... Example: Navigator logs is a varchar from table users; Forum comments is a varchar from group_forum_posts (every entry is from each thread '-'); room items get the item by item id (BAD BAD BAAAAAAAD!) (i preffer picking from the name, since the probability of the NAME OF A FUCKIN FURNITURE CHANGE IS 0, AND THE ID CHANGE BECAUSE HOW YOU INSERT ITEMS ON YOUR DATABASE IS 10000000%).. but who cares..

Eh, I haven't properly read through the codec docs in a long time actually. I'm hacking parts of it together but I clean it up as I start understanding more about how it actually works. I should go back and read it properly though.

Could you pastebin your decoders & handlers? So I can see wether you're going into the right direction.

Because not properly implemented it [strike]can[/strike] will cause issues guaranteed.

I haven't thoroughly read the docs on netty 4.x but I spent a few nights on netty 3 a few months ago.

Updates happening BTS. Will post soon.

Regret to inform that I'll be stepping down from this project. As it stands I've finished most of the ground work but nobody else (with the exception of Adil) seems to be interested in actually working on the project. I'm moving onto another area of focus, hopefully it'll result in some pretty awesome stuff for the community.

Best of luck to the Azure team. I'll be around if you happen to need help with debugging.

This is sad. You're a good dev.

To correct this misunderstanding, Scott mainly worked on improving what I had already laid out as a foundation, as I wasn't as experienced with netty 4, he worked on "improving" our codec, as well as our packet manager, not the whole solution.

As sad as it is to wish him a goodbye from the development he feels as if no one is progressing or whatever way he feels, that is his decision. Me, Adil, Dominicus, and others are continuing the development and there hasn't been any recent updates due to the fact that the Database was/is being written (Adil) so we're going to wait for everything to be done and structured before proceeding...

Another thing, we're switching (downgrading) to netty 3.x and this decision is final until further objection. Due to careful profiling and several benchmarks we feel that this would have a substantial performance impact on the overall networking.

So you are already designing your database without having a design for your emulator?

You guys are really going fubar on this emulator.

Haha. GG. Its probably just that you cannot read documentation. Netty 4 outperforms Netty 3 easily. Its just that you cannot deal with the code that scott wrote.

Most likely you downgrade so you can copy over the socket implementation from Habbo4Java.

As tempting as it is to make you look like a complete idiot (not that you don't do that yourself), I've wrote a network handler in netty 3 along time ago, and I've gotten fair compliments from it, so that's one of the reasons.

Secondly, as ignorant as you sound when you tell us we don't have a design for our emulator when we've mapped out every file, folder, class, interface, etc... I won't even address that.

Thirdly, what the fuck does "fubar" even mean? Nobody understands your slang pal.

Fourthly, Scott was a member of our team. I don't think you know what the word "team" means, so let me inform you:
Google: "a group of players forming one side in a competitive game or sport."

And I actually wrote the networking classes, not Scott... as I've stated before.

And Netty 5 documentation simply makes Netty 4 look like a pile of shit, does that mean you should use 5.x over 4.x?

I'm surprised that there's no comments explaining how methods work, considering this is a group project it's important that you let your other members know how a function works.

Meh, the source code wasn't bad. I was really displeased at the source, one of the reasons I lost interest in the development.

But you're wrong about the "comments" part. We document where documentation is needed. So far there hasn't been a need.

Writing redundant comments that tell you the same thing that the name of the method tells you say "readString()" then you have commented "Reads a string.", that's just stupid. "Poor documentation, is the same as no documentation."

Still wondering how you've managed to obtain the source. But, I've been working on a new source so I'm not so fussed.

You don't know what design means in the software development world.

Quote:

---

Software design usually involves problem solving and planning a software solution. This includes both low-level component and algorithm design and high-level, architecture design.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_design

But that's probably considered 'too much work so we do not waste our time on that'. No you cannot already build the whole database without even knowing your inner core structure. If you do that you're guessing and assuming how it is going to work and once mistakes are made you're wasting your time on recovering from those mistakes by adapting your database to the problem (Which I doubt you gonna do so you end up hacking solutions again).

Let me google that for you

Netty 5 is in Alpha. If you could read you'd know.

I've my doubts about this 'team'.

You're already giving up?

Oh boy. This is the biggest mistake you can make. Especially in a team.

No that's not stupid and not only should you tell what it does, also document its parameters. Poor documentation means poor developers resulting into a poor piece of software.

Ah maybe one of your 'developers'. You? Does your team know about that you starting over again? Sounds like a good decision when your database implementation isn't even ready.

I'mma just leave this here. Feel free to judge for yourselves. https://mega.nz/#!fxxlSKIB!GnJlWPgh_...RE5unDwjTLQoLA

That's simply not true.

- None of the encryption classes are documented
- Encoding is not documented
- The bootstrap isn't documented (and it's a big class).
- Session class isn't documented (eg, could explain the difference here between sendQueued and sendMessage)

I could go on, but I've proved my point.

Thread has been cleaned up. Let's wait until developer's progress before debating about language, frameworks, etc.

^ Are your posts duplicating again?

Anyway, after some careful thought, I have decided to end my affiliation with the Azure project. I underestimated the amount of work my existing commitments require, so unfortunately I cannot continue to work on this project.
I wish the existing Azure developers the best of luck. I will be around to lend my hand in debugging situations

About time someone starts using an ORM framework for their emulator. Will be looking forward to see the outcome of this. Are there any open repos so I can read code and get triggered at code not following Java conventions? Gotta love Azur avaJ4leif edition. Also @bi0s, Azure was announced in 2008.

Since Adil and Scott quit, we're looking for a few replacements. Adil started on the Database Structure (Hibernate ORM w. HikariCP). Yet, I've been reading some books on Java and we might end up rewriting the whole solution.

Oh that's true! Microsoft Azure is from 2008, i thought was from 2011! Thx my master MARIT :D

I hope this is better-programmed than Azure. I'm totally inexperienced with editing or programming Habbo emulators, but I've been ripping out all the redundant comments and went so far as to change up the socket class so it behaves less-stupidly.

Like, you guys stored the main socket inside of the async state object for BeginAccept, rather than take advantage of the fact that it's a field..I don't understand why this was left as is.

Also I removed one part in which you created a copy of an array, iterated over that array in a foreach loop, but in the loop itself you operated on the original array.

I think the problem is more fundamental than the code's messiness or the redundant comments, or even the fact that it's written in C#. I think the problem lies in the understanding of the language.

AzureSharp is being maintained as a separate project from this one mate. You'd be better off asking your question in their thread (under releases)

He's better off ditching the entire Azure project.

Thats what you get when re-using the same name.

Request to be closed.
Since the leaving of Adil and Scott the project will remain private until further notice and proper progress has been made.
