C5 Packet Fixing

[chimsee]

I am going to begin working on some C5 packet fixes, since Nevyn and I already found out how to fix the protocol revision and connect with a C5 client.

 

I know there is packet errors at the log in screen.  Once those are fixed, we'll have to fix all the rest.  Anyone who can post any information about *changed* packet structures (like 'cddd' to 'cdddS' for example) and packet headers (if the packet header is different, TELL ME!) would be helping a lot.

 

Also, bringing me changed packets from C4->C5 using L2J revisions from before and after is ok too.  I will be using some L2J changes to help me out probably as I go through this process.

 

I hope to see this thread be productive. 

 

Protocol Revision and How to Change it:

 

009BA9A8 aRevision656 db '$Revision: 656 $',0 ; DATA XREF: GetProtocolRevision__+1B

 

The L2Server does String to Int conversion on the numeric part of that ASCII string.  Change 656 to 693 and you will change the Protocol Revision.  Tested with a C5 client already.  Nevyn made a link, he can post it here...I'm too lazy :P
