WHAT'S HERE
​

This is a small part of my Preservation Conquer client, shared for people who want to learn or build their own.

It loads an empty Twin City locally as a Trojan.

• Map and character rendering, equipment, shadows and nameplates
• Walking, running, jumping and collision
• Limited sound
• Minimap with a player marker, zoom and expand controls
• Readers for the original client files

This is the skeleton, not the full client.

There is no server connection, combat, skill system, effects or game windows.
Game assets are not included.

​

Requirements

• Conquer Online 5065 installation
• Rust 1.95 or newer
• Visual Studio C++ Build Tools with the Windows SDK
• Windows x64

To view the content, you need to sign in or register

Extract them to:

C:\Conquer5065

The folder must directly contain:

ini
map
data.wdf
c3.wdf

Keep these game files separate from the source project.

Clone and run:

git clone https://github.com/deklol/Preservation-CO-Client.git
cd Preservation-CO-Client
cargo run --release --locked -- --assets "C:\Conquer5065"

If you extract the client somewhere else, replace C:\Conquer5065 with that folder's full path.
