A reverse engineered version of the servlet used for Kenny vs Spenny Versusville. This requires clients to be using the Versusville 202X Patch. For more information, join the Kenny Hotz Official Discord and visit versusville.com
It's worth noting that this is a Versusville SERVLET and NOT a Versusville SERVER. This is merely the database that holds profiles, highscores, and times. It's not required to play the game, and it's not required to connect to servers, but it's used to change your username in game and save/share highscores and view them at versusville.com
It's been a while since I made this so hopefully these instructions are accurate. If not try reaching out to me in the Kenny Hotz Official Discord.
A list of pre-requisites:
- Install Node (If using a hosting service such as DigitalOcean this should be setup automatically)
- certbot to get a proper HTTPS certificate for your server
- OPTIONAL: pm2 for additional tools to help keep your servlet running 24/7 without issue I won't explain how to use all of the pre-requisites as you'll have to either already know how to use them or have to research them yourself :)
Once you've cloned the repository, create a new file in the root folder called .env which is essentially a text file that will hold your Environment Variables and look something like this:
DISCORD_WEBHOOK=<value>
CERT_DIRECTORY=<value>
(If your hosting service has "Environment Variables" in the settings, you can typically enter the values there instead of creating this file)
First, you'll need to create a Discord Webhook and set the DISCORD_WEBHOOK Environment Variable to the url that it provides you. This webhook will send a message whenever someone gets a new high score or new best time.
Once you've done that, set the CERT_DIRECTORY Environment Variable to the directory that contains the following files:
privkey.pem
cert.pem
chain.pem
The directory should NOT end with a /. Here's an example: /etc/letsencrypt/live/servlet.versusville.com"
Once you've set everything up, you can start the server with npm run start. If you see the following, then you're ready for users to start connecting to the servlet:
Started http on PORT 3000
Started https on PORT 3001
Now, for clients connecting to the servlet, go in the game files (typically located in C:\Program Files (x86)\DC Studios\Kenny vs Spenny - Versusville) and navigate to media\prod\kvs\scripts\generic\world\ and edit url.txt so that its contents look something like this:
#The location of the servlet
URL=http://<YOUR_IP_HERE>:3000/servlet
#http://www.cbc.ca/kvs/servlet/KvsServlet
# end of file
Then you should be good to set your username and submit highscores to your custom servlet :)
To view the scores/times saved on your servlet, visit versusville.com and enter the ip of your servlet.
If you're specifically having trouble with the Environment Variables, you can edit the index.js file and hard-code each value as strings. Replace process.env.DISCORD_WEBHOOK with "https://my-webhook-url-here.com/" and process.env.CERT_DIRECTORY with /etc/my/directory/here
If you're having any other troubles. File a github issue and I'll get back to you!
