NewAce Ace Online Server Files

Hello everybody, this is my first thread on RageZone.

So, I've managed to make an Ace Online Server.

Server Files:
MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

Client link: Flysis 1.0.0.9
Games On Net File Library :: Flysis Full Client 1.0.0.9 - FLYSISsetup_1009.exe
OR
Downloadable Client: Flysis v1.0.0.9 Client - Demo Movie Patch Download Section - GamersHell.com

README in Server Files.

The files are made with AO Stuff.zip, released here:
http://forum.ragezone.com/f111/ace-s...40/index8.html

EDIT:
Sorry, I forgot it, but you need AO Stuff.zip to make the files working.

The files are only 6mb the server?

Seems really odd considering AOStuff is over 600mb

Yes, it's only 6mb, because I didn't include the maps, and the obj files into the release, only the bins.

You need AO Stuff to build the whole server.

It's only a tutorial and the files, I configured.

Yeah i noticed that when i looking through the files, too bad that none of the AO Stuff is working.

Have you gotten your server fully working with your files or there still missing parts or non-working parts.

Most of things working perfectly. I didn't checked mothership wars, and nation wars, but the others are working. It is EP2 files, and database, I made it from the database(EU_ENG_gameforge4D).xls file.

Nice work mate must have taken long i am sure alot of users will appricate it alot, i will run the server soon as i get the AO Stuff and configure the ips and other things.

Going to have to change the D: to C: so the game runs on my servers SAS drives for better performance

You need only edit AceOnline\ScVoIP\SCPCCAgent\EXEC.INI, AceOnline\bin\EXEC.INI and the odbc data source PCCallAgent to make it working on C: drive.

Thanks for sharing files and information. Maybe there's hope yet for an AceOnline community. :)

Great stuff sir, thank you for this great release and the information :)

So,

Anyone mind re-uploading AO Stuff.zip :O

I re-uploaded AO_Stuff.zip. But there is a problem, the upload time was only about a half minute, I have a 1mbps upload speed, and MegaUpload says, that the file is 622.82 MB. :blink:

Can somebody check it?
Here is the link: MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

Will check it and let you know asap

---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------

It extracted 1.96GB of data so seems to be fine not 1 corrupt file.

I will be uploading it to my CDN so far the upload will take 1 hour and abit more to distribute to other servers

Maybe I should release my GM Tools...

So far setup is going well database just completed and semi-securing it so its not acssesable from the outside i just hope the server supports non-lan ips as your guide says 127.0.0.1

---------- Post added at 07:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

Server files dont work in Windows Server 2008 i tested followed the guide step by step and i keep getting DB errors so yah.

Hi,

These files work i tested them login works, char creation works and so forth will be testing and assembling a team as soon as possible! also Internet play works!

Proof:

http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/2665/32706461.jpg

For those that know what they are doing you can test the game on my server:

IP: 207.32.185.7

Test Accounts:

ID: test
Pass test

ID: test2
Pass: test

ID: test3
Pass: test

Server is on a dedicated server so will just be down if i make changes to the files or so.

Also for those who are intrested:
http://forum.ragezone.com/f206/ace-o...2/#post5794194

Nice, definitely giving a thanks.

Also a problem: When I try to connect to server field server crashes and game freezes. Happens when enter the field or map.

I assume something wrong with maps, etc.
Gonna collect logs

Edit: Also NPC Server Error: [Error] NPCServer IOCPInit Error

ArcticWolf: It would be very good if you release your GM Tools.

DanSpd: try to change 127.0.0.1 to your lan IP in global.cfg. NPCServer IOCPInit Error appears some time me too, and this is the solution to make it working.

EDIT:
DanSpd: If the client disconnects when you enter the game, and the client crashes, then you need to copy the .dat files from maps folder to FLYSIS\Res-Map.
(You need to copy only the .dat files, coz' the others are for server only.)

Well, I am no noob and I copied map files from AO Stuff\002SERVER\Server\map\ (dat,hrf,sma) to Server\AceOnline\map\

After that all dat files from Server\AceOnline\map\ to Flysis\Res-Map\

I did what it says in readme.

Edit:
Ok I got it to work.
What I did was changed local ip to IP behind DHCP server adn then replaced maps from server1 folder as well

Note:
SOme items/skills/NPCs do not work cause server-client client-server files aren't synchronized. I will start looking for client file headers. Might be able to get all info about files from client.

Did anyone get the happy hour working on thier server?

Do you by any chance know whatAccountType need to be set to in order to gain admin commands rights ingame?

Possibly AccountType: 3
NORMAL, MONITOR, GAMEMASTER, ADMININISTRATOR

Help Guides setup Ace Online Server

If you wanna add happy hour manually then here is small hind:
0(=AllServerGroup), 1(=10061), 2(10062), ...

Already have done that.

Setted it on 0, 1 and 10061 none of them work, even stetted up the whole week 24/7 and still does not work unless the client does not show the image when its running.

I know how to get it working along with everything else including adding ep3 armors/items. Although I'm not going to encourage more servers. The last thing that's needed is more servers like BurningSky jumping up all over the place.

I don't mind helping some one who knows how to help themselves. I'll give you hints, but I won't give you exact directions. With that being said.

Happy Hour won't work in-game, the in-game command is broken, and will NOT work no matter how many ways you try. It has to be done with a tool.

That's my hint.

edit: Won't work through direct DB editing either.

Well in that case i might aswell just shutdown my server as no one will share to tools for population control matters might be the best though would be bad if we had 100's incomplete servers

So technically it is impossible to do that from game nor DB itself.
Is it possible with admin tools?

Gonna reverse it and change IP

Vote for Section!

Too early for section and have you even read what you wrote?

First off server is working 50% only or even less.
Second, item, npcs, etc have to be synchronized but before we need client fiels unpacking tool. Therefore need to reverse the client find how client unpacks files and make own unpacker.
And lastly it isn't easy to reverse so good luck on your custom items :thumbup1:

The old space cowboy client isn't working, it gives protocol mismatch error.

Maybe he is trying to say that we can get npc item etc files from old client.
Anyway if anyone interested in depth conmect we with msn: i@danspd.com

Yes, it can be, but I tried this client about 2 months ago, so now i'm downloading this client, and see what I can do.

There is a tool, named AtumZipper in config/quest directory. It makes .tex files from everything, and there is an Encode String, what is the first line of the .tex file, but some letters are changed in the encoded version. I try to find, how encryption works.

DanSpd, I will add you on msn.

Yea I saw that packer.

Basically you can pack and unpack quest.tex file because the encryption key is provided. I have tried to search for more key in client. I found them but pretty much all of them do not work cause they have either different encryption method or I dont even know.

There is a .tex file creator program in SCMonitor too, it creates omi.tex file, but it needs to be connected to a server, and the server IP addresses can't be modified.

EDIT:
I found some encrypted strings in SCDBTool and in SCAdminTool, but I don't know what encryption it is.

How are these "new files"?

solved

What do you want meha? This release is not complete, and I didn't write it's complete. There is a lot of work to do, and if you want to help, share your work to make these files better.

If anyone wanna test admin commands then run following in SQL where DanSpd is character name. Note: you must be logged of or on character selection screen.

Code:

---

exec atum_admin_SetAdminCharacter 'DanSpd'

---

In game type /help for all list of commands

solved

ok now i got a test npc to work (1 item) now i have to understand the stored prozedure for the saving and restoring of item tables.

the released file has to clean out many trash inside! i try curent the flysis client res items, but i have to find out the crypt. Stay tuned!


// thx DanSpd for ur hint about the admin chars

If you really know ASM and C++ or C# and going to work on encryption then contact me with MSN: i@danspd.com
Me and Warzinger1 made some good progress on finding encryption and how it works

There is no use in those. IDA with hex rays has better output.

De-compiled C File:
zipfile.c

IDA HexRays IDB File:
zipfile.idb

Encryption function:
C | int __thiscall sub_401730(void - Anonymous - p03X5YEq - Pastebin.com

About same function from another file:
http://pastebin.com/Dr5tdUar

Nuff said

Note: this is for quest.tex file only atm

Also here is more info about .tex files based on quest.tex file.

File structure before it is encrypted:

Quote:

---

-- Header ---------------------------------------------------------
(0) [4 bytes] = unknown, possibly some sort of checksum
(1) [4 bytes] = unknown, possibly some sort of checksum
(2) [4 bytes] = total size of files without separate file headers
(3) [4 bytes] = amount of files
(4) [4 bytes] = empty

--- File ----------------------------------------------------------
(0) [4 bytes] = lenght of file name + something else in bytes
(1) [4 bytes] = file size in bytes
(2) [4 bytes] = empty
(3) [(0) bytes ] = file name + something
(4) [(1) bytes] = file content

---

File structure repeat for every file there is in file.
There is no footer or anything like that.

Still hoping to crack encryption

Ok sorry for Leech question jeje
i got NPCServer IOCPInit Error
and stuck on loding screen after to create a char

solved

il test abit but the realy crypt name is wanted i hope he have non own crypt struct used... keep on!

Dude, sorry but you are noob... :cool:

Encryption is found and it's just a matter of rewriting it in C# C++ or whatever.

To EASY ! SOLVED

Solved what? Encryption? Prove or get the hell out.

Also I checked other files and seems like there are few encrypt ions used for different tex files.

Possibly this is a packet encryption:

Feel free to give it a try

I'll start working on the SCAdminTool.
Will report back with progress update.

Good to see you working on these files DanSpd!

That was either sarcasm or I am actually doing something good =P

Anyway thanks and sorry for offtopic

Okay, so I've gotten the SCAdminTool somewhat in a working state.

However it seems as if it has a hardcoded password build in to authenticate with when connecting to the database.

Here's the log from the sql server:

Code:

---

Login failed for user 'atum'. [CLIENT: 127.0.0.1]
Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 8.

---

Where the error code indicates a wrong password being used.
While the password is not callweb, I don't think we'll get any further until we either find the password, or manage to decrypt the tool.

I think, you are speaking about SCDBTool, because SCAdminTool doesn't connect to DB, it's only connecting to PreServer, but no matter, I understand you.

I gave the password callweb for the DB user atum, because this is the password in most of the files of AO_Stuff.

You can try to change the password to rpdlavhwl4d , it's in the file about the update.

Finally, nice work to get admin tool work on localhost.
Will you share it for everybody?

Greetings, Warzinger1

Can you share me SQL Server 2005?
I use SQL Server 2005 Express but it can't restore DB. I use SQL Server 2008, it can restore DB but can't create User and login the game FieldServer is debug:(

I'm talking about the SCAdminTool, will not mess with the other till I have this working.

Well, the thing is to login it doesn't, but if you select "User management" or any of the others that includes messing with the database it does.

Lastly, yeah I'm not planning on running any server, just doing this for the community, so I'll release it whenever its good to go.

I'll try the password you gave me asap.

Edit/update:
Nope, no luck with the new password.
I'll try and see if I can sniff the packages and eventually get the password its trying to authenticate with.

We assume password for database, ip and other info for connecting is encrypted using same tool provided in SCAdminTool aka XOR

Yes, there's no question about that, however without the XOR key there's not much that we can do.
However, with a simple dll injection it was easy to change the ip, but the password is a little more difficult due to the fact that we don't know it.

I'll look into the packets that is being sent to the MSSQL, and try and decrypt it (TDS7 shouldn't be too difficult to decrypt).

My NPC Server keep crashing nay tip?

feralwolf IS good ^^ Help me For me Serveur Plz ^^

Hey i worked on the packet encryption and almost figured it out for writing a client, but when i noticed i have to implement a hackshield emulator i dropped it (that's too hard for me).

here are my results (python code):

prot.py - protocol and error definitions
Python pastebin - collaborative debugging tool

decrypt.py - paste a packet and it "decrypts" it
Python pastebin - collaborative debugging tool

packet.py - packet encryption/decryption
Python pastebin - collaborative debugging tool

i have also made a simple client, which was able to stay ingame for 1 minute or something, until hackshield kicks you. but i didn't figure out any further game commands, only the encryption for most packets..
my code won't decrypt all, because some come as big chunks with 5+ packets and they seem to work different?

Local IP in config is the only place you put your wan for public?

Somebody help how to active HappyHour?

When try connect always under server inspection?

Yeah, i had the same problem but i cant remember how i solved it i think it was either changing the ip or making sure the folder path is right.

i tink this game need its own section:
any way to edit drop an the most important Exp.????

Change exp is easy if you aren't dumb@ss (no offence).
The worst part is synchronizing server-client.
