How to make 2.20 client work with 3.51 HGServer:

The story
After 2.20 Siementech decided to change Status values (probably because of the lack of space concidering those new aura's etc, they needed space for bitshifting)

What did they change?
They changed all the status flags from short to int, which doubles the size.
Not only m_iStatus (m_sStatus) but also m_iPlayerStatus

How to do it yourself?
Well, here it gets a lil bit more difficult, I'll try to explain it.

-First of all, change the definitions in the Client's Game.h (from short to int)

-It might be smart to also change the m_sStatus's name into m_iStatus (only for experienced coders, this is not needed but eases the overview)

-Last but NOT the least lol:
In Client's Game.cpp find all the Status values, the easiest by using the Find In Files option in Visual C++. Some of those values are decoded after receivement from the HGServer.

Example:
sp = (short *)cp;
m_sPlayerStatus = *sp;
cp += 2;
change those values into int values.

Example:
ip = (int *)cp;
m_iPlayerStatus = *ip;
cp += 4;
This should do..!

PS:
-If I forgot / misplaced something, be sure to post it..!
-If you don't know how to do it, forget it.

Here is how to add the hero items for Males :

in game.cpp, function updatescreen_onloading, case 52

Code: Select all

MakeSprite( "MHRobe1", 5060 + 15*10, 12, TRUE); //Hero's Robe
MakeSprite( "MHRobe2", 5060 + 15*11, 12, TRUE); //Hero's Robe
MakeSprite( "MHPMail1", 5060 + 15*8, 12, TRUE); //Hero's Armor
MakeSprite( "MHPMail2", 5060 + 15*9, 12, TRUE); //Hero's Armor
MakeSprite( "MHHauberk1", 5300 + 15*3, 12, TRUE); //Hero's Hauberk
MakeSprite( "MHHauberk2", 5300 + 15*4, 12, TRUE); //Hero's Hauberk

in game.cpp, function updatescreen_onloading, case 56

Code: Select all

MakeSprite( "MHLeggings1", 5540 + 15*5, 12, TRUE); // Hero's Leggings
MakeSprite( "MHLeggings2", 5540 + 15*6, 12, TRUE); // Hero's Leggings

in game.cpp, function updatescreen_onloading, case 76

Code: Select all

MakeSprite( "MHHelm1", 9300 + 15*9, 12, TRUE); // Hero's Helm
MakeSprite( "MHHelm2", 9300 + 15*10, 12, TRUE); // Hero's Helm
MakeSprite( "MHCap1", 9300 + 15*11, 12, TRUE); // Hero's Cap
MakeSprite( "MHCap2", 9300 + 15*12, 12, TRUE); // Hero's Cap

Display the new Monsters Names :

Still in game.cpp, in function GetNpcName, right after

Code: Select all

case 69: strcpy(pName, NPC_NAME_DEVLIN); break;

Add these lines :

Code: Select all

case 70: strcpy(pName, NPC_NAME_BARLOG); break;
case 71: strcpy(pName, NPC_NAME_CENTAURUS); break;
case 72: strcpy(pName, NPC_NAME_CLAWTURTLE); break;

I hope it'll help ya guys, i'll try to post some more codes soon but as i'm not alone to code i can't release the codes that i didn't make alone. Maybe i'll show you how to put up the level up dialogbox and change the cityhall menu...

If anyone else can share some codes with others, feel free to post

i don't think i'll release all my work !

I'm too lazy to post everything here, but the HBII client has fixes like level up system, aura flags and couple more of them.. That'll help out some more for sure!

I don't think any noob will be able to find your aura codes or any other fix you made in the HB2 sources... They are gloating cuz they have HB2 sources but they're not able to compile it. LOL.

Even if they had it working, how and why will they use it ?!?!? They don't have the config files for your HG and they can't create some from scratch. Just post some code that can help them to understand how work the client sources if you have some time to waste

Shetar · Post by **Shetar** » Sat Mar 25, 2006 5:51 pm

The files are useless without config files, and making them takes Alot of time, I fcking had to rebuild them 3 times

Alriteee! But gimme some time, it's not that I'm someone with nothing to do all day <_<

yea its useless without configs ...

im working on mine 2.20(3.51)client, but i still cant make it works wif 3.51files ^^.... can some1 tell me how to do it ?:P all times its says "Connection Lost"

nothing more ...

diuuude · Post by **diuuude** » Sat Mar 25, 2006 8:31 pm

bah... as everyone will tell you : don't try to code if you even don't know what C++ is...

I posted some codes for peoples that already have a client that connects 3.51 server, if you're not able to have it working fine, you'll never be able to code a 3.51 clone.

Do you think you can code druncian city's water effect ?
Do you think you can code abaddon's effects ?
Do you think you can add all the 3.51 dialogs ? (levelup, multitrade, apocalypse, heldenian, item upgrade, majestic stats change, ancient slates...)
Do you think you can add all the spell effects and auras ?

And you're gloating cuz you think you're on a way to code you're own client and add crafting + tutelar angels in it... lol, you don't even know how the angels works, and i'm sure you never used crafting on any server.

As far as you weren't able to add stuff like Apoc in your HG (that is offered to you by snoopy), you won't be able to code a decent 3.51 client. See... you can't have it connect an HG...

compatible with 3.51 login sprites (not done)
just main menu

Put this stuff in UpdateScreen_OnMainMenu()

Code: Select all

	pMI->AddRect(385,176,547,198);
  pMI->AddRect(385,215,547,236);
  pMI->AddRect(385,254,547,275);

Code: Select all

	case 1:
  m_pSprite[DEF_SPRID_INTERFACE_ND_MAINMENU]->PutSpriteFast(385 , 176, 1, dwTime);
  break;
	case 2:
  m_pSprite[DEF_SPRID_INTERFACE_ND_MAINMENU]->PutSpriteFast(385, 215, 2, dwTime);
  break;

	case 3:
  m_pSprite[DEF_SPRID_INTERFACE_ND_MAINMENU]->PutSpriteFast(385, 254, 3, dwTime);
  break;

Code: Select all

	if ((msX >= 385) && (msY >= 176) && (msX <= 547) && (msY <= 198)) m_cCurFocus = 1;
	if ((msX >= 385) && (msY >= 215) && (msX <= 547) && (msY <= 236)) m_cCurFocus = 2;
	if ((msX >= 385) && (msY >= 254) && (msX <= 547) && (msY <= 275)) m_cCurFocus = 3;

you should be able to see where to replace the old code with this code

i know c++ and im dare to say im very good at it
i wanna join the team for building up 2.20 sources to 3.51
pm me if ur interested in me joining the team

trying to change the status shit

Shetar · Post by **Shetar** » Mon Mar 27, 2006 7:08 am

rofl, that's definitely trying.

You know what? I'll edit everything in this topic into the 2.20 client source and when I'm done I'll post the source up here, saves people some time..

The client with diude is really improving every day.

We still miss some features, and the test phase should unreaveal bugs or missing things, but currentlly, we miss very few things...

The biggest chalenge currently is that if we have druncncity bubbles, we miss the "swinging".
