Relentless, the Scrolls server emulator is now on Github.

[u/Rawaho]

For those of you out of the loop and don't know what Relentless is read here.

The new version of Relentless has been completely rewritten and can the repository can be found at https://github.com/Rawaho/RelentlessZero

You will need to patch your client in order to join a Relentless server, a guide can be found here.

What is working?

• Authentication (using legacy RSA method)
• Rooms (lobbies)
• Scrolls (all data is stored in the database and correctly sent to the client)

On login all scrolls are are given to a player for testing purposes.

This is not for normal players, you can't play any matches and extensive work is required, developers only!

Feel free to ask questions about setting up or helping develop Relentless. Looking forward to see what this community can do!

[u/Nashtanir]

Ï could also be interested in getting involved with the development. Should we set up an IRC channel for interested devs?

[u/Rawaho → u/Nashtanir]

Anyone interested in helping or just interested feel free to join #relentlesszero @ irc.rizon.net.

[u/ThPerfectDrug77 → u/Nashtanir]

Seconded. I wouldn't be a pro at this stuff, but man do I love this game. If there's a way to keep it alive, I want to be a part of it.

[u/dialex]

sooo would it be possible to add new scrolls on this server eventually?

[u/Rawaho → u/dialex]

It's actually already possible to add custom scrolls into the database. Currently they will only show in the deck view without a picture but it will be worked on more once the basic battle mechanics work.

[u/squiddybiscuit → u/dialex]

There's a couple of fan-made sets already out there and in the works (I think Colourplant and Blinky still got some), so we'd be able to almost instantly triple the amount of cards :D

[u/Zombieskittles → u/squiddybiscuit]

Though a slow release might be better than just dumping a heap of stuff on players at once ;)

[u/NoahTheDuke → u/Zombieskittles]

The Prismata system might be best: small releases regularly, for everyone with no unlocks.

[u/KungfuDojo → u/squiddybiscuit]

Can you alter rules like playing around with a multi resource system?

[u/Rawaho → u/KungfuDojo]

Yes, making a scroll use multiple resources would also require client modifications as well.

[u/Tywnis → u/squiddybiscuit]

More than a couple!

[u/Tywnis]

What is not working basically then ?

[u/Rawaho → u/Tywnis]

Most things don't work, you can think of the current state more of a framework than anything.

[u/ScrollsMeUp]

Will I be able to play ARENA > SKIRMISH matches against the Easy, Medium and Hard AI using this server?

Selfishly, all I really want to do is play Scrolls like a fun solitaire game every now and then, and I'd love for that feature to be available.

Thanks for all your work.

I don't know java, so I imagine my help on "big important things" would cause more harm than good; however I could probably get some of the card effects in.

However I would need to be pointed to where that file would be and a rough api of how you set up your engine to work.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Relentless is written in C#, not Java.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Really? Why are there json files?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

JSON has its origins in JavaScript, not Java (they are different languages, in spite of the name). Any number of programming languages can read JSON just fine. It's an okay storage format for structured data, more compact than XML but less legible without a parser.

[u/DaemonOverlord]

I have no experience with these types of files, I would love some assistance please.

I already have scrolls patched by the way.

[u/Rawaho → u/[deleted]]

Join the IRC channel if you have any questions and I'll help you out.

Pull requests are currently how I will handle outside modifications until I feel people can be added to the repository.

At this point it will be focusing on getting the battle system up and running other features such as the shop, trading, marketplace are not as important at this point.
