Working on a new client

[vatas]

took me 3k lines of code to implement with zero code reuse from the original client (I'm talking about networking, resource handling, message processing, remote UI, and maintaining the "game world state" visible to the client)

Would you mind sharing how you handled the code that is loaded as part of resources ( InfoFactory Resource.getcode() )? Looking at the client code, this is the biggest pain point for me as of now.

You manually implement every single class like that, that's the trick. I've tried to persuade loftar to make the code files part of the client but he refuses.

In case people have missed it, this was recently granted.

It was not. You are misunderstanding the change.

This thread should be locked. The dude was just trying to make a quick buck by monetizing a client, but did not have the experience or competence to follow through.

Hi OP,

Here is my attempt to write new client from scratch.

Take any part of the code you need.

As noted by someone - use Unity. Separate GUI from network and from game model.
As per "executable resources" - the only option is to manually replicate and maintain them. Don't use Java. Java is dead.
I agree that original codebase design is the main issue of 99% of problems with stability and performance.
