This project is an attempt to recreate the online mode of The Settlers II: 10th anniversary edition by emulating the online lobby and reimplementing the tincat3 network protocol.
Tincat version used: 3.0.53
- create account (just a stub, no actual account creation happening**)
- login with account
- request and show MOTD
- show online status of other players
- global chat with properly working usernames
- error messages when auth or account creation failed
- create new game
- join new game
- launch new lobby with other players
- port check when hosting game, prefer direct connection
- automatic creation of TCP bridge if direct connection fails
- automatic disconnect from TCP bridge when user leaves multiplayer screen
- see all created games with default filter (cannot get this to work :(( - kinda workaround with dll hack for now)
**) managing a user database is not worth it for this game, so any connection gets accepted regardless of CD key, username and password
The current version is a complete rewrite of the old C# code base in golang. The original fork code can be found in the old/C# branch.
- BIG THANKS to cocomed who originally created the C# implementation this port is based on here
