PacketDB Overhaul

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:

  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

	 packet(0x0868,12); //Sorcerer cancel something	packet(0x0844,2); //cashshop button (ragexe) 

 

both avoids disconnection after clicking it..

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

 

Thank you Ind!

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

i'm use 2012-05-15 and no support for packet db

how to enable??

[nanakiwurtz 11]

Just change the 'PACKETVER' in the Herculessrccommonmmo.h

#ifndef PACKETVER	#define PACKETVER 20120515#endif

And don't forget to recompile.

If it's not supported, try another client with different date

i don't think this gonna work for rA. since rA still using packet_db.txt

[Mhalicot 392]

I love the approach Hercules takes in create a better emulator.

[OnNplay 27]

It's not only better, it's more closer to newbie capability in term of easiness.
