KaLua - Emulator Project

[DeathArt]

Hey

Today we desided to make our long termed C# emulator project open source.
Starting out with a short description of the project:

- The project is a full server, handling both login and game-server written in C#
The server uses MySQL as backend, and is planned to be using LUA as scripting language.

Compile/Setup Notes:
- You'll need NHibernate, Microsoft .NET 2.0, Visual Studio Express, and a fair amount of programming knowledge.

Also the .KSM files from the current kalonline server, needs to be copied to a folder named 'Maps' located in the output directory.

Other Notes:
- No stupid questions thanks. And if you want to ask, join #kalzone on irc.quakenet.org.
- Don't even try to post something like "thanks", "nice" etc. in this thread, or i'll ifract you. (foxx)

The current authors on this project is:

- TheDeathArt (me)
- KingIzu

Other noteable contributors:

- Shorty
- Foxx
- Jake

And credit to Erkel, who made the first version and inspired us to the current design.

If you wish to contribute/join the project, contact me and we'll find some work for you.

Finally, a C# Emulator. Thanks DA.

 

[Nuklear]

There was a C# emulator called KOSE created by ingam0r. It was exclusive to KalUnderground.

 

[foxx]

It's still on sourceforge.

 

[Nuklear]

kose.sourceforge.com

But, this is better. xD

 

[Sung]

What about this KOSE Stuff? Is it a full Server or just a start of ?

 

[mejniok]

kose.sourceforge.net isnt project site anymore...
any1 have source of kose?

 

[BakaBug]

it's like .. i don't want say 100% the same source like KaLua.. (because KaLua already got more stuff...)
But it have the same basic-source..

And yeah I have the source..(I think..) when you need i can upload it

And also when KingIzu or DeathArt says .. it's KaLua isn't based on KOSE..

WTF .. it looks for me like KOSE.. but should I care ? I don't care

KOSE **** from Sourceforge

Thanks, Sung

I wanna write some stuff based on KO packets struct, for myself, maybe some proxy-based stuff & i was curious ingam0r's solution.

You haven't released your emulator yet?

The orginal version was based on KOSE, but we rewamped the entire architecture twice, and total rewrote enormous parts of the packet systems.

There is 0% of KOSE left in the current version of KaLUA, and recent architecture changes also rewamped whole base concepts that KOSE introduced.

You haven't released your emulator yet?

He's reffering the source of KOSE.

 

[Nuklear]

But, I see you use some same methods as KOSE. SetCapacity, etc.

 

[ingam0r]

Finally I had some time to respond. Damn... couldn't find the password to this forum for a long time. ^^

Since I completely retired from the Kal-community (job takes up too much time) I just wanted to let you know that the KOSE-project is still hosted at Sourceforge. The homepage at

was always blank since it was hosted at KalUnderground.

The project-files are still downloadable via SF:

The design of my server has never been a very good one. But it is cool to see that it got some people started to write own code.

I wish you all the best for your project DeathArt.

And by the way... I don't care if someone reuses my code. It's all about sharing knowledge, you know.

Best regards,
ingam0r

The software is currently being refractored, I'll try and do a fresh SVN update when the basic game system works.
Basicly we're recoding it to a new ORM , and upgrading to .NET 3.5

The project ain't dead, we just been out of time to work on it for some months.
Expecting it to take atleast a year more before it's in a playable state ain't that far off.

So far we spend about 10 months on it

DeathArt, you want a job?

Fixed, even I thought he preferd to remain anonymous ;-)

But I think we got less than 100 lines of his source left now. If not less.
