Star Wars Galaxies Offine

[SVI_DakrLord]

Is there a way to paly SW Galaxies offline, perhaps with the help of exporting the *.tre files? I would like to try ony to test it.

Hmm... maybe while emulating the game on your computer but it would require an ubber computer.

An enormous amount of work but do-able I think.

[rawr69!]

like any other mmorpg. the server and the client are totaly separated programms.
and unfortunately :) of course the server isn't given when u buy the game. it's kept well protected on the soe's server.
2ways :
- u hack soe and get the server (req: uber hacking skills, be crazy, don't fear police knocking at your door) (impossible)
- u try emulating the server by reading the packets that your computer and the server exenges.. it's as Xankar said an ENORMOUS but uberly cool work..
once u understand how server is working.. and what he says to your client.. then and then only you can start rewriting the WHOLE server.. after this long work wich would imo take ... year(s) u can hope to play alone :)

-note: i'd love to see a project of Swg server emulation

nothing is impossible, but its highly unlikely that anyone will get the SWG server. i really don't see why you'd really want to do this anyways, unless you were designing your own little stuff.

i'm sure if u manage to setup a free swg server :) u'll get pleny of players ^^

actually u guyz misunderstand the power of haXoring if i or anyone else hack the server get the source code then they could make a NEW ENTIRELY NEW server make a new client thus making it a Free SWG server this is so very possible but would anyone like a nice knock on the door by the police cause thats wherr ur going...but other than the police once its leaked then the police cant control beyond that so really the person who would leak it would be the one in jail but his legacy would go on with him while spending his days in rotting prision for hacking/damaging a server

[SVI_DakrLord]

So, dont you want to try to do that?

[Cloud91690]

HAHA!!!! u make me laugh SVI im not even going to attempt that i may haxor but NOTHING as good as that maybe my bro can do it (since he taught me all the basics) but not me and even if i asked my bro he would probably say no so...nice try SVI but its not happening.

If it can be done with everquest i think it can be done with almost anygame

[Joker]

everquest has been out for a while so people have basically studied the protocol up and down. It wouldn't be too hard to design your own server if you knew the protocol and encryption very well.

Someone may do a 3rd party server someday, but i wouldn't count on seeing one anytime soon.

[rawr69!]

EQ was revert engine, if u hack into soe server (wich would be dumb imo) any1 who's caught w/ the src will be in the possession of ilegal stuffs,
if u do like they did for UO and EQ, wich is recoding a whole server.. then only one who will be doing something ilegal is the one who actualy analysed the swg packets, but any1 having or developping a new server for swg won't risk to get anytrouble with the police..

anyway it's such a haaard work. that i doubt anyone will want to do it for a such game... wich u get bored from after a week or 2

[Cloud91690]

lol but if u make ur own server u could make new rules *hint* *hint* get jedi in like 2 seconds if ur friends with the admin. of the server.

[rawr69!]

herm yeah of course u could.. still u'd need some kind of UBER computer to run it decently. (computerS seems more correct as i'm prety sure it's a multi server system)

anyway if any1 heard about some swg server emu project, i'd love to hear about them too :p so post the link or pm me :>
