Build and Shoot

This probably won't be of much interest to most of you, but for any developers of tools, clients, servers, etc for Ace of Spades Classic, I have created a wiki as a central location for this information. Registered users are welcome to contribute what they can. While everything on there right now is to do with the game itself, feel free to add other things, such as modding and server admin information.

Jolly good, jolly good dear sir.

I support this! :blue: :green:

This is great. Thanks!

For packet 4:

Weapon Input
Contains the weapon input state(?).

I believe this contains the mouse input state (not confirmed); if so, it's hypothetically possible that the server can pick up if you are middle-clicking (0x04). (This is of course assuming that Ben didn't mask the field with &0x03. With that said, the other bits probably aren't read by the vanilla server so I see no real reason to do this.)

Also, packet 6 "Grenade Packet" was a security concern. I'd like to see if the vanilla server has any antihack preventing you spawning a grenade right next to someone far away from you.

Thanks for the info - I shall look into it.

I wondered about that too, but as there are so few (if any) vanilla servers, I didn't bother looking into it.

Though this is great indeed, I'm not sure how I feel about the profanity in the URL...

Just noticed.

Pretty much all of my websites use that domain, so I used it for this one too, although someone suggested using rakiru.com, so I will move it over tomorrow.

Thank you so much :D I was trying to find information on the kv6 and vxl formats for the past few weeks.

URL updated.
