Advice and Future Plans.

First I wanna personally thank Phoenix. Why because you+google= my hero for results. If I don't know the answer, I just stalk your posts and find it. So thanks for that. :thumbup::love:

I've been working with Kekku's server files for about 2 weeks now. I have tackled just about everything I can and I am still without alot of answers. (See below.) But frankly I think I might overhaul the client before we hit Open Beta. I've managed to get lich working and all that jazz. Even imported alot of things from scratch and things from other RZ users. But now I'm at a stability standstill.

I love how clean bunny and hare are, if I could make them work with my client i'd be very happy. Issue is hare hates me, bunny plays niece with brittle bullet, but cannot access server. I could really care less about having 1.5 content anytime soon. To be honest I want something I can expand on. Yes I know the source is available and truth be told, I'd rather avoid it is takes the fun out of the learning process.

Current issues: Custom maps. The runnables I have I cannot find ASM edits for. Truth be told I can't even identify the runnables to (2k7 or 2k8 i'm sure) even begin querying search results. I'm in this for the challenge, I really don't play gunz at all, but I love making private servers for communities at whatnot. I love to be tested constantly. Why is my post count low? I don't ask for stupid things like "whear iz server files so I make own gunz" thats just ignorant. If you can't put up the money for a dedicated box of some kind, hell even a vps, your wasting everyones time. With all this said here is what I'm asking fellow RZUsers.

What is the best server files to use? I'd like to find the "best in class" for modding, skinning, customizing, you name it.

As far as hare goes, it runs, its config is valid, database is valid, even used phoenix's sql patch, but in the end it just hates me. Brittle + Bunny = ServerList. Hare+Bunny=Null. I love hybriding files to find "super solutions". Any help is appreciated.

Issues with Kekku's:
Can't find runnables or ASM's that work with the runnables.
Adding new content is a pain because it has items (Apocolypse Kodachi for example) that isn't even in 1.5.
Missing alot of bosses. Got lich to work. But Still needs the rest.

Code:

TL;DL >>
Whats the best emulator files?
Where can I find them?
Haz ASM Edit list?
Compatible with newer 2k9+ content?
kthx

Just noticed I made a biography out of this. So I'd like some feedback brothers and sisters. Any you could spare. Without compiling source (takes the fun out of the hack) what would you recommend?

EDIT: Also how the heck does the cashshop / coins system work? I am perplexed!!!

Why don't you use Phoenix 2008 Repack?

Why are you looking for an emulator when the official Gunz source is released?

I mean common, did you even read the post? :P

@Gunblade,

What is the stability like?

no, I didn't.

It is kinda silly to still work with ASM and emulated
files while a source is released. Although I know some
small time servers are still doing just that, when problems
arise, emulation/2008/2007 will all be in trouble long
before 2011 source files, and ASM fixes will take much
longer to put into effect then a 10 min source fix.

I think I remember Dawson referring to them as Legacy
projects now, and that is simply what they are.

I just want to let you know this before you start
something with goals, because if you are picking non
source related tools, you will probably fall far from those
goals in which you have set. The best idea is to hire a
coder or just learn C++ yourself.

I guess its stable enough for a server, lots of people have used it.

I guess I'll look into it.

For the record, I already know C, I just enjoy the thrill of debugging closed source applications. Since I'm an avid open source user, decompiling and debugging the "dark side" is much more of a thrill. The source just makes you look at it going... "Oh... *staples easy button here*."

Haha, you could download the August 2005 client from gamefront.com and the gunzold.exe + txt and try to make the matchserver from 2011 to be compatible with the 2005 client.
That would possible give you enough of a thrill.
Anyway, Goodluck ;)
