This repository contains a historical backup of the flash version of the game "God Field" and a server emulator I wrote for it.

I did this server emulator back in 2016 when the flash version was still online, I decided to open-source it now since it was gathering dust in my HD and I really do not want this to vanish. The emulator is pretty much working, but still has some minor bugs and some lacking things. This do not mean that this project is abandoned, I still want to update this server emulator and make it more reliable and accurate to the original game, if you want to help me, fell free to open a issue or do a pull request!

Known issues

This server emulator is not nearly perfect, but it works! (as shown in the video below), but here is some issues that I can remember at the moment:

The artifacts distribution may not be not how it should be (needs research).
Bots are not very smart, they just thrown the artifacts that he can use at the moment. (And was programmed to)
The "Fog" curse isn't implemented correctly yet.
The client backup may not be complete.
- The backup was done by playing the game and downloading what was requested by the game, so maybe I didn't get everything, and I surely didn't get files from disabled game modes.

Flash is dead! Now what?

This repository contains the old God Field that was written in Flash, however flash isn't supported by most browsers anymore, but don't worry, it is still possible to run God Field if you use some browser that still has support for it or if you run the game's swf directly via Flash Projector. You can download the Flash Projector here.

Requirements

To run the server emulator, you will need Python 3.9+. You can install all dependencies using the requirements.txt, don't know how? Click here to see more about the requirements file.

Quick set-up

First you need to add these lines to your hosts file:

127.0.0.1 www.godfield.net
127.0.0.1 static.godfield.net
127.0.0.1 training.godfield.net
127.0.0.1 enfreefight.godfield.net
127.0.0.1 freefight.godfield.net
127.0.0.1 enfreefightprivate.godfield.net
127.0.0.1 freefightprivate.godfield.net

Be aware: You should remove them later, otherwise you will not be able to reach the official God Field anymore.

After that, run webserver.py from client-files folder and server.py from server-src folder.

You're now ready to open the game! Just open the link http://www.godfield.net/en.html in a browser that still supports Flash. Alternatively you can use the Flash Projector, just open it and press CTRL+O, a window should appear, in this window you just have to input http://www.godfield.net/game/godfield.swf in the Location text field and press the button OK.
