Unity Client In The Works | 317 Protocol with HD graphics | Resolute - Coming Soon

You can follow all of RSPS updates on our forums.
Forums: Resolute


THE GOAL
The goal of this project is to provide accurate emulation of a 317 client. This includes providing support for existing file formats, and the networking protocol used in revision 317. Along with this, higher revision content may be back ported from hd+ revisions for graphical fidelity.

TO DO LIST
Random shit I do not consider big enough, or too obscure/technical for the 'feature' list..

• Proper loading of the hd+ revision texture format
• A 550 client has 39 texture implementations, each with their own format potentially, so this might be awhile.. I believe this is the key to 'proper' blending of tile textures though
• Add support for the files in index 26 in 508+ clients, which contains various information about how a texture is rendered, including shader information, minimap color, etc
• Convert networking to use fancy OOP packet objects for writing
• Multi thread networking, along with keep alive sending so we don't d/c if loading takes too long
• Need some kind of component based UI system, and possibly a bridge between the 317 widget system, and mine
  
  MISC INFO
  This connects to any server with an unmodified 317 protocol, and RSA enabled. The cache format has been changed to a custom one, because the existing one is a pain in the ass imo, and I don't plan to have an update server.
  
  CREDITS
  Dane (On Rune-Server) for his subpar 317 refactor (fuck your naming) that I'm using as a partial reference
  Leanbow (On Rune-Server) for saving me some time with his partial 550 refactor that I'm using as a reference for back porting higher rev content
  
  This is a project that my friend and I are working on. You may have seen this thread on Rune-Server, but I decided to show this off to a few more sites in his behalf.

 

Some more client updates:

• The client now waits for a player update packet after a region load packet to load the scene (fix for really weird loading issue when changing planes)
• Scene is now recreated when plane changes
• Buffers are now reset on logout, to prevent malformed packet issues on relogin
• Tabs are no longer released on relogins, fixing the NPE disconnect on login
• Widget descriptors are no longer freed on new region load, fixing an issue causing inventories to not update when changing regions

Side note:
Resolute will be our new domain soon.

 

Resolute isn't abandoned, we have simply working on other aspects of the project such as tools.

The map editor we were using was causing a lot of unknown problems, so Demmonic made his own.
