PS2 Network Emulation

A collection of proof-of-concept scripts utilizing the soe-network package.

Note: as the network protocol constantly evolves, it is unlikely that these will work out of the box against the live servers.

Install

• Install Node.js
• Run npm install in project folder

Full client test

This script tests the login and zone client functionality.

First, login at http://lp.soe.com/ps2/test/ and grab the lp-token cookie value. Add this to the token.js file and then run:

node fullclienttest.js

The script should then connect to the Test login server and present you with a list of characters.

Pick a character to connect to the zone server. Only the initial handshake is handled so nothing will happen after the first bunch of zone data has been sent.

Login server test

This script sets up a local login server using the data in the data folder. The server will be running on port 20042.

node loginservertest.js

Edit ClientConfig.ini and run the client executable directly. No session ID is needed:

Planetside2_x64.exe inifile=ClientConfig.local.ini sessionid=0 Internationalization:Locale=en_US

The login server is currently set up with a single character ("LocalPlayer") and a single, local server.

Zone server test

This script sets up the local zone server using the data in the data/zone folder.

node zoneservertest.js

Most zone packets are handled by functions in zonepackethandlers.js. This file can be edited and will be reloaded dynamically while the server is running.
