[Release][OSO] Gate to Heavens - Full Game Files v2

[Ron]

Dude, this has to be the fastest I've ever done to up the server. Thank you! Now I need to remember how to create a GM account and normal account. Been so long I don't remember the steps anymore

Ron Just a heads up, so after reading your tutorials, I manage to create my own account and successfully logged in. Currently the issue is that I am unable to create a new character. Even with the test account I couldn't create a new one. Clicking Create sends me back to the menu with empty slots. No issues playing the existing ones though

So glad to hear that! We really focused on making this as easy as possible. We have imminent updates that will make it even easier. The game is very much still buggy and has a lot of stuff to address. So our focus was mostly on "onboarding"; getting as many people playing and helping as soon as possible.

The character create thing is a known bug we are still working on. We have some chatter about it in Discord for more context. But I can confirm that the two default characters are the only "working" ones out of the box at the moment. We use the same ones for our own testing.

I have had an unexpectedly preoccupied weekend, but Scott has been grinding on updates all week. We'll have more progress to announce very soon. He's killing it, and Adam with Relight is still actively helping us on small annoyances along the way just to help save us time. He is coming in clutch for us.

I'm very experience in handling GTH files, besides the coding stuff, I've been playing around with GTH files for many years.
Probably because it brings back the nostalgic feeling. If you need any help, feel free to let me know.

 

[pwnjooman915]

how do you unpack the client and unpack the pack files in data folder any idea new to coding and using this local server for practice on all this stuff while i try to self teach my self

both issues have been resolved in the next update that isn't released yet.
create a new character in game fixed with a newer database.
gm will be above the value of 0 in tbl_game column gameMaster. Just having 1 character as gm makes all characters gm.

There is a pack to zip converter you must use. There should be a link in the lucky files.

I'll make a guide and post the pack tool directly on the wiki soon.

In the future we will remove the requirement to work with the pack files at all. It was a change we were working on and got halfway through, but decided to wait a little longer before we finish that.

Request to build a video tutorial

I'll make video tutorials once we release a few more versions. I just want to make sure the format of the files aren't going to majorly change. If anything major changes I may have to re-record some or all of the videos.

We're still progressing. Ran into an issue with the updated client getting a false positive for wacatac trojan, which is very common on these old MMOs. We had to fix it with rf alpha code as well so it is not a surprise to us. Waiting on M$ to get back on the analysis and then we should be OK.

Other information updates: I've posted in our discord. Link in signature. Join the discussion.

Indeed, but please, stop opening reports to say how good it is!

If anyone has any questions about how to work with the client as far as development, making changes, etc (the data files not the client.exe/source), leave them here and it will help me with writing wiki content around common questions.

Actually, I found a problem with some of the GM command not working. I made one of my account in gth_game > dbo.tbl_game GM value either 1 or 9, some of the commands works like /itemlist or /setra but when I try to do something like /additem 597 to get Advanced Candy, it doesn't work. The workaround I did was to buy something from the shop and edit the dbo.tbl_item and change the tableIdx with the item ID. Searching through the old files like ChatCommand.cpp and found a few more commands but not all of them are working.Also /loadgdc not working either. I just wanted to get some premium pots.

Also I made my account premium through gth_account > dbo.tbl_premiuminfo but not sure if that makes any changes as the game doesn't seem to have a Premium shop

I haven't personally tested too many GM commands yet. I will test them in my next GTH session and see what is going on here. I am sure Scott will likely see this and fix it before I even get a chance to think about GTH, he has done most of the initial command work and I'm sure he will quickly know what is wrong.

I can say we did make some adjustments from the base commands, but what those adjustments are, are not fresh on my memory. I'll definitely get back to you on that. If the commands on the wiki don't all work as noted then that is definitely an unexpected issue.

Premium is not something we've looked at quite yet. I believe the default game requires an extra third database that stores premium info that we do not currently include with our files. I did not include it because I want to write our own way of doing Premium that doesn't require a third database. The Item Shop is another unexplored area that I think the same database is related to. Since we were focused on local play to this point we did not look deeply through monetization systems yet. However they're on the list to still take a deep dive through.

Thanks for the feedback, this is really useful.

when opensouece?

At this stage the likelihood of us going open source is rapidly decreasing. We have more people asking for source code than the amount of people actively testing and reporting bugs or feedback to us. If only a select few people are actually testing and relaying feedback now, releasing the source isn't going to change anything. It'll just make it worse by spreading people out across different "repacks" of our own project.

Until that changes I will never go open source. And I do not expect this to ever change unfortunately. So interpret that as you want.

That being said, I also do not have plans to monetize the files themselves, nor are we ever going to place any "paid restrictions" on the files. You will likely not ever be able to modify our source code directly unless you commit to our mission and work your way into our development team like the core RF-Dev team did.

We will implement scripting systems (ex: LUA) so that you can write your own custom scripts for the game. We will give you many settings to control other variables throughout the game, as many as we possibly can. We will even provide you with new ways to monetize the game once we cross that bridge. But unless something drastic changes, do not expect source code from us. If it leaks then it leaks. I could care less. This is a learning project for us. But it is using the combination of knowledge of many different people, some not directly involved in the project. It would be doing those people a disservice to release knowledge they have provided to me in confidence.

For now, I ask the community to respect our work, and continue to help us in our efforts without asking us for source code. We are in this for the right reasons. Ask anyone who has ever spoken or worked with me.

Regarding the commands not working...

Spoiler

in debug build they work, not in release due to an preprocessor flag of _GTH_CHEAT_ENABLED is not used in the build

How do you guys even get the files
.. that is what I'm intrested in

Hmm. Its possible since you have a new account, that you cannot see the Download button yet. There may be a post count requirement that I am not aware of.

Can you see the Download button, explained below? If not, I guess you may need a few more posts first. I'll check into what the download requirements are. I am sure he has a small requirement to download files.

Here is what you should see at the top-right of the page when viewing the thread, if you are able to download files:

 

[MrZeno000]

no no not the file, i meant as in how you get the code? does the developer have a change of heart and lets out a bit of code to work on for the community

Edit : thanks for being cool about it, people usually starts raging! btw.. joined ur discord server
