btw @Pat, would you mind highlighting unofficial 2022 Coopordie version if there ever was one? there are a few bugfixes I could deal with... I can branch out coopordie's source code and add humanly-readable patch notes.

maybe I contact you somewhere else about it? (discord/etc)

Hi Andrei, your initiative is interesting but I really have no time and no motivation for this mod. I have no more the dev tools nor a Quake2 copy installed on my computer.

I propose to remove the worlserver version check who is preventing the use of custom DLL. A link to popular modified DLL may be added on the official download page.

Can it satisfy everyone?

don't ask me how i miraculously recalled this thread, but after reading your comment again with a minimum of attention - disabling the dll check would be very convenient.


Hi ANDREI,

Whao, you found a 2013 post :lol:

I've retrieved the place where the DLL version is checked in the PHP WorldServer source code
func_PlayerLogin.php
Code:
// Check version and idexe by comparison with the version used by "admin"
if ( $clean_name == "admin" )
{
   rpc_set_var("wsrv_version", $wsrv_version) ;
    rpc_set_var("idexe", $idexe) ;
}
else if ( !$session_data->betatest )
{
   $right_version = rpc_get_var("wsrv_version");
   if ( $wsrv_version!=$right_version )
   {
      rpc_return_error( 'WSRV_VERSION',
         'WorldServer version is '.$right_version,
         'wsrv_version='.$wsrv_version );
   }

   $right_idexe = rpc_get_var("idexe");
   if ( $idexe != $right_idexe )
      rpc_return_error( 'LOGIN', 'Invalid build version', 'idexe='.$idexe );
}


I may remove the check (everybody will turn into betatest mode), or I can add alternate versions.

I prefer the second solution. You can create a new DLL and test it with your betatest account. Then I will may be able to add you as a second "admin" for DLL versions purpose.

hey, that's amazing! alternate versions, thus keeping the original experience, sounds great.

will the mod be hostable by other people than admins/me? (I know a particular group of lithuanian coopordie players which will probably be interested...)

also, is there any chance you wish to make WSRV open-source? I can try hosting WSRV (locally, to test) + dealing with all these updates for you. Coopordie's code is on SVN (non-Git) - I can clone it 1-on-1 to a Git (Github in my case) repository, then you'll be able to see every commit/change. But if you happen to upload it using Git, I'll fork it.



I intended to suggest sharing unofficial-version API keys which only I (or other people modding coopordie... aka probably no one else) would use. This might've required too much attention from your side, though + I don't know very much about C/C++, but I suspect that the dll coooould* be disassembled in order to retrieve the secret key.

*of course this would be quite an overkill; exactly as you thought back then, who would bother going so deep in coopordie...


update: yep, dll-checking could certainly use some improvement Image

LOL, I've forgotten this part. So any hacker/coder can easily build a new DLL and use it on coopordie.com :D

Yes, probably a github repository will DLL + WorldServer complete code, just a matter of time and motivation ;)

looking forward to it! Whenever you have some spare time, I'll happily fork it.
