PacketDB Overhaul
Hello~! - What?!

  • 1st, not a overhaul as much as...well we purged the poor thing completely
  • 2nd, adding and maintaining packets is now much easier
Changes

  • packet_db.txt was dropped
  • packet_ver was dropped in its entirety, the server has never been able to maintain multiple packet versions at once stably
  • packet_ver_flag setting in conf/battle/client.conf was dropped
  • packets are now stored at src/map/packets.h
packets.h format

  • for outgoing packets:packet(packet_id,length)/* example */packet(0x006a,23);
  • for incoming packets:
    Code: 
    packet(packet_id,length,function,offset ( specifies the offset of a packet field in bytes from the begin of the packet ),...)/* example */packet(0x0072,19,clif->pWantToConnection,2,6,10,14,18);
Improvement

  • Users no longer have to touch packet files when changing their client versions, PACKETVER in src/common/mmo.h is now enough.
  • With the map server not having to maintain packets for so many versions at once, its ram usage was reduced by 7MB
Credits

  • Feature Design by GreenBox
Special Thanks

  • to mkbu95 for bringing this topic up! (reworking the packetdb)

Impressive! That'll ease a bit the process of making servers and that's better for us all.

Thank you Ind!

Click to expand...
just change your packetver to 20120410, that simple, that easy.

Just change the 'PACKETVER' in the Herculessrccommonmmo.h

#ifndef PACKETVER #define PACKETVER 20120515#endifAnd don't forget to recompile.If it's not supported, try another client with different date
