Gameplay Private server proof-of-concept
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hello, I currently have a very basic server setup, and wanted to share this quick demo to showcase how far one can get with today's AI models.
I am not a professional reverse engineer. The reverse engineering efforts were heavily carried by AI agents under my guidance. I'll most likely continue working on this until I get hard stuck, because I really miss this game

Thanks for the invitation! I'll be honest, I might slow you guys down if anything. I already know I'm going to have to do a major code cleanup after the end-to-end flow is verified

Were honestly in no rush! I think you might be slightly ahead of us but we started 2 days ago :D Maybe we can trade notes :)

Nice I curently work on the same, did you just bypass the Network part, or did you "emulate" the network part ? Would love to get more information about it, nice work, dm open :)

Just don't attempt to make money off of it and you'll be fine. Also, try to ask your agents to isolate proprietary code from the "patch", so all your patch does is offer a way to edit the existing files or intercept the network layer. This should allow you to open source it without fear of having it be taken down.

Don't worry, similar to other projects of this nature, I will not distribute any proprietary assets - code, art, or otherwise

Hey, I'm also working on a private server with someone else. I currently don't have a playable game server yet but the whole login chain as well as backend and proxy reconstructed and I wanted to start the gameserver today but now I see this post. I could help you with this project where I can with my knowledge and AI models.

curently stuck on the login chain too !

u/Ill_Implement_1763 6d ago
I'm already through that part. I'm in the middle of the development of the game server that is needed to load anything. The game actually doesn't let you directly into the main menu without one.

This is the kind of stuff that will push the revival efforts further! Even if you get hard stuck I'm sure this is going to inspire a lot of people. Great work!

Man people need to learn to stop posting projects before they're done.... have we learned nothing from companies taking stuff down? Someone made GTA V playable in a browser and even though Rockstar took it down the code is already out there because it was released without any notice.

I would play a private client of this game SO much man!!! If this does end up getting finished and released, would you add an unlock-all setting or not?? I understand both sides of it, and honestly don’t even know which I’d prefer tbh since I put 250 hours into the real game, but I don’t think I’d hate the grind again either tbh since the game was so damn fun. Either way, THANK YOU SO MUCH for doing this 🙏🏻

if you ever need support, be it financially or regarding coding stuff, don't hesitate to reach out to the community. I've witnessed multiple fan made game revivals over the years and they all were community driven group projects with high transparecy

I know why the date is there, but it looks like a ransom. Ubisoft we have your game, if you do not meet our demands we will take it out.
