This server is for learning more about C# and Networking. I am not responsible for other people's Forks.
This is a rewrite of this repository.
This repo has little to none code from BigPoint. Although you are required to have the original game files in order to run the server, since the server uses the game's dll for essential run code.
OpenBSGO is an open source server emulator of the Massive Multiplayer Online game known as Battlestar Galactica Online that was created by BigPoint. It's an emulation of the original server, that tries to bring back the original essence of the game. It is written in C# (.NET Core 6.0) and uses SQLite to save the player data. It still is in its initial stages so bugs and missing protocols are expected when using it.
- Supported versions:
- Latest released by BigPoint. I'm not sure if it works for other versions.
- Full character creation. Select your side and jump right into the game.
- Rooms:
- 242/Alpha Ceti and all other sectors have their Stationary ships that you can dock on.
- You can buy ships, customize it with different stickers and names, buy and upgrade equipments, repair your ship and play the Dradis Contact (Only the loot part of it, the recover and play maps for better loot are yet to be done).
- You can interact with the NPCs to sell water and talk about other stuff.
- Every spaceship has its collider, so you can bounce around while colliding with other ships, or die crashing into asteroids.
- You can now scan and mine asteroids to get the resources you need to progress.
- Level up skills to get stronger and upgrade your items to higher levels.
- Kill NPCs, visit other sectors, scan asteroids, mine resources and more to have a Title below your nickname.
This is something that people might wonder, why rewrite instead of fix what was broken? Answer is simple: I was not satisfied with the old project. It has broken stuff I couldn't fix or in order to fix I'd have to remove too much essential stuff that would break more things. Rewritting is the easiest way. So, what was improved?
- Collisions were added.
- The last version didn't have a collision, but the closed source rewrite I made back when BSGOPS existed had collisions. The old collision system was improved so much that now it has little to none impact on CPU time. Recent tests showed that the old collision system could handle 1000 objects before start lagging, and the new collision system can handle 100000 objects and not even start lagging yet.
- Mesh Collisions! Now the server can be as precise as possible when detecting collisions between ships, missiles and many other things. (QoL) (WIP)
- Shop items were added.
- Skills were added. (WIP)
- Each ship has its on FTL time like the original server.
- After a FTL jump or join the game, you are no longer targetable/visible for about ~1 sec.
- Outposts were improved.
- Sector Levels were added.
- They now keep spawned on the sector after jump/dock. (Bugfix)
- Combat modules were added. (WIP)
- They can now target and kill you.
- Upgraded OP have a passive computers to buff allies damage. (QoL)
- Fortified OP have a passive computer to buff allies armor. (QoL)
- All ships are playable.
- Buff and Debuffs were added. (Partially)
- AI was added. (WIP)
- OP targetting system is considered an AI.
- It decides which target is the best to shoot at depending on distance, health and ship tier.
- A dumb AI was also added. The "dumb" is because all the AI does is turn to the target direction every X seconds. This is the behavior AI had on BSGO.
- 2 new AIs:
- Smart AI: (WIP)
- These bots will have better equipment.
- They will better use their weapons.
- Player like AI: (WIP)
- These bots will have player like equipment.
- They (possibly) will use Neural Networking.
- Smart AI: (WIP)
- Enemies will be able to fly together in a flock, avoid colliding with each other and chase you with different tactics. (QoL) (WIP)
- OP targetting system is considered an AI.
- Sector bounds was added.
- Now reaching the sector bounds will trigger radiation.
- Radiation Zones (QoL)
- Now when nukes explodes, they leave behind a radiation zone for a few seconds.
- Random radiation zones with better loot can be found on sectors close to the Nebula.
- Mining
- Asteroids now can contain resources.
- Planetoids now can contain resources.
- Miningship can be requested to gather resources from it. (WIP)
These features are totally optional on the server and can be disabled with a simple change on the server config file. They are meant to improve the game's life from the server side, since we can't touch the original game files. Be aware that the changes listed above that are marked as (QoL) are not final and might be changed any time in the future.
- BSGO game files (yes, you are required to own a copy of the game in order to run the server).
- .Net Core 6.0
- TBD
- aeroson (For the implementation of UnityEngine.Quaternion).
- bubisnew.
- Mementomori (aka FLOREK BGO).
- Sebastian Lague (For Raycasting implementation).
- Joel (For the OBJ loader).
- stonkpunk (For Triangle-Triangle Intersection).
- christer (For Sphere-Triangle Intersection).
