This is a discussion on Conquer Wiki within the CO2 PServer - Discussions / Questions forum part of the Conquer Online 2 category; Ok so over the past week or two, ive been writing a small wiki about the data packets being used ...
Ok so over the past week or two, ive been writing a small wiki about the data packets being used by Conquer, and the encryption being used.
It is not finshed but i will continue to update it as i go, eventually it should hold every packet Conquer uses for all versions of the client. Aswell as a whole bunch of Enums which are used in the data packets.
There is a small note about each packet regarding its usage and in some cases some packet history.
There is a contact email on the wiki, or you may post here with additional content that people think needs to be added. If your going to post a packet it needs to be a complete structure, not a half finshed one with missing fields.

Thanks are always appreciated.

Use the pm function if you have to discuss something.
Than why not close this?
However, I think we should be free to comment on this, as long as we stay on-topic, and don't start talking about the fact somebody likes cake. Back to my point, this is a forum, I think we should be allowed to reply since this isn't announcement but advertisement.

1) On-topic :
Is the Wiki giving the client-sided AND server-sided packets ?
Why is the wiki not giving anything else than packets ?
2) Off-topic :
If you want no-one to answer to a post in a forum, well you might be moderating a mail service
EDIT :
Korvacs, if you had a copy of this current version of the wiki, you could open it for edition and let people share what they learned or found (maybe shit will be made, but if you make a copy of the website, you should give them a try and see if the community can make some good work 'at last ^^')

I dislike how the packets aren't organized why not make different sections for the variety of the patches?
The idea was that you could simply select the packet that you needed from the list (or by searching for it) and you would see all version of that packet.
The advantage of this being that i only have to create and update 1 page, instead of upto 4 in some cases. Also, some packets change their ID from one version to anouther and this would cause some confusion (in my oppinion) about which is the correct ID for the packet.
Yes, both client and server packets are displayed under the same page, mainly because 90% of the packets dont change, and if they do they are specified.
How much easier can i make it? You need the general data packet, you click general data and get every version of it, and because it isnt specified to be different you find the version you want and implement it for both incomming and outgoing.
Isnt that the simplest way?

Because ive only been working on it for the past 2 weeks in my spare time, and my primary knowledge is Conquer - Server communication. This is also the knowledge which the majority of people lack, and which tends to be the most required, I constantly see "Does anyone have this packet?" and "Ive got a problem with a packet, can anyone help me". So that seemed like the logical place to start.

If i made a copy of the entire wiki, which is stored as a database, then every week (or so) i would have to trawl the site and make alterations to the database which is a massive task, or if i used the wikis own built in roll back system i would have to visit every page, every week, and decide if what was posted was relevant and then roll back untill i found the correct version of the page, which again is quite a big task.
I would much rather people posted things here or emailed me, that way i can confirm that the data being put up is correct, and i dont have to go through everything every week.

Why not making a section editable for that then in your wiki ?
Or just allow the 'discussion' panel to be viewable and editable [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
