Please read everything before you use anything in the repository. The library is designed to be reference material for people that back-engineer the game. You can view the source code here.

Features:

https://github.com/kurtekat/shaiya-episode-6#features

Thanks:

@Cups for being my inspiration and helping me to improve. I doubt this would exist without your contributions to this community.
@joins.dj for being a good friend and letting me pick your brain whenever I want.
@Garret for the Shaiya Essentials project.
@cwifo, @Shaco and @ItsBeno for helping me test most of the features.
@gualoki, @melihxrist and @razor for reporting critical bugs.
@Shaco for unpacking the 6.4 PT client.
@rn4444 for testing the libraries and providing excellent feedback.

Update:

I think I've reached the end of my journey. I'll continue to update the project occasionally, but I'm not interested in adding new features. The issues tab will be disabled. I have a few reliable people who will let me know when something is wrong.

Great work as always Bowie, thanks for your contributions to the Shaiya community :)
 
Thank you for your hard works and contributions for the Shaiya Community. Always appreciated @Bowie.
 
Thank you much for sharing your knowledge with us! A mere 'thank you' doesn't do justice to how we appreciate it. Your work is truly incredible my friend. Please continue doing the job! (y)

The client and server sections are equally important, so please read everything before you use anything in the repository. The library is designed to be reference material for people that back-engineer the game. It could also be used by servers that advertise earlier episodes, but use an episode 6 client.

You can view the source code on GitHub. The primary purpose of the project is to be a replacement for the pet library. I guess we'll see whether or not people decide to make the switch. For all I care, you can use it or lose it. I plan to support the libraries, even if I stop working on the project. If you need help, open a new issue and I will respond as soon as I see your message.

Features:
  • Everything pet.dll supports, and more
  • Item durations for pets and costumes
  • Synergies (thanks, Cups)
  • Item mall purchases and sending presents
  • Toggleable skills (e.g. Frenzied Force)
  • Episode 6 quest rewards
  • Supports 6.3 and 6.4 packet structures
Testers:
@cwifo
@Shaco
@ItsBeno

Hello, sir. How can I support SQL Server 2008 R2
 
Hi, is there posibilities that you guys will work on the mailbox? I have here an EP6.4 client that has a mailbox on it.
 
no. i logged into two servers to sniff the packets, but it was a waste of time. i removed the dummy handler the other day and added a note to the wiki that says mailbox will not be implemented.
 
Would you mind sharing the sniffers so I will just share the packets with you?

PS: My sniffers works, and here is the packet but empty data.

SEND>>01 2A 00 00 00 00
RECV>>01 2A 80 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

I will update this reply with data once I have one. But I really understand that you're not planning to implement it but I will just share it anyway.

i appreciate the offer, but if it's all the same to you, i would really like to leave this alone. i'll leave the handler here for anyone that cares to get into this, but i won't accept pull requests for this feature.
 
i plan to end support as of 01/01/2024. the issues tab will be disabled and i'll probably stop responding. until then, i'm gonna update the models and try to tidy things up a bit.

edit: i just committed what i hope will be the last version (1.1.5.9). just minor revisions that shouldn't compile much differently than the previous code. see the actions tab to download release builds. the only notable change since v1.1.3.6 is the item duration loop.

i have no idea how many people are using this library. if you are or have been, thanks for your support. i hope it's an improvement. i'm gonna disable the issues tab and archive the repository. post in this thread if something is wrong and i'll try to help.

Hey, first of all thank you for your project and time. Even if few people use it, it was a great effort and it's highly appreciated.
The files are definitely an improvement but see few use for various reasons:
- Most EP6 CT scripts (for server side) are uncompatible, losing certain features and making the switch less desirable.
This forces people to buy specific systems for EP5, systems that are free and released on the ep6 standard files.
- Minor client issues, like the hp bar bug, or more specifically the problems using the custom game dll.
- And the most important one, most people already have settled on other files (EP7, EP6 shen, EP6 custom and even EP4 custom). This doesn't mean the files are worse or better than them, it's just people usually don't want to make the switch.
With the release of my project (Essentials) i tried to standardize your files for everyone, with partial success since a big portion of the users are using shen1 files instead.

It's definitely a brilliant project and i hope it gets more use on the future ☺️
A little help for newbies could be leaving everything already compiled on the repository, since the project it's coming to an end it's better to just offering the files ready for use and avoid compiling issues.

I think the only big issue left to solve it's the problem with the custom game and HP bug bar, but even without that the project it's very solid and useful; thank you.

Update on this: The issue have been resolved, more context on this post https://forum.shaiya.gg/threads/gm-rerolls-custom-game-dll-help.18/#post-101
Essentials v6, the latest and final version of the project, it's gonna also include the fixed custom game on the default client folder.
