Calling on the TMBO revival server guys
02/13/16 at 03:07:17
 
First off, twisted metal has been one of my favorite games since I first played twisted metal 2 for ps1... But that's not why I'm here. I'm here because like the twisted metal servers the socom 2 servers were shut down leaving us to use xlink and LAN to play our beloved game. Socom 2 has been well exploited and I'm interested in reviving a server for it as well. We already having a full online memory dump which should make it easier but its just as challenging as the server you revived.  I'm looking for tips, from the guys who rebuilt the new tmbo server and would gracefully accept any help in reviving our server.

One important distinction between the two projects is that, if I recall, wasn't Socom 2 one of the first Sony games to implement their DNS encryption protection in order to prevent cheating/hacking, etc.?

If so, that might have a big impact on how easy it would be to recreate the server because people wouldn't know what the encryption was.

I can tell you that rebuilding the Socom 2 servers will be a giant challenge, especially with the original packet captures being encrypted and essentially worthless.

That's a DNAS game validation bypass code. Packet encryption is a whole other ballgame.


Members of the team did take a look at o3Celerity's thread(s) (months ago) and

Anyway...

I should note that it took a good year and a half to get the TMBO server to the point it's at now, and we actually had packet captures (the team is still dealing with some serious server issues too). Imagine how long it will take to get Socom I/II working given there are technically no usable packet captures and the game(s) have encrypted traffic.

It's not Socom II, but it's a start:

Do you have more details on this socom 1 test you did? I don't have s1 anymore but I'll go buy a disc, I think s1 and 2 are built in simuliar ways. Maybe not exactly but it helps.

We are nearly at the point to where we can host or join a game room. Database functions need to be created before all of this can happen though.

I personally wouldn't jump the gun too soon. There's a ton of work to be done and it could be a few months or even a year+ before there's an actual server that people can just log into.

Here are a few things you can do to help out:


1. Find videos demonstrating how the lobby system worked (joining, hosting rooms and joining the different briefing rooms) for both Socom and Socom II

2. Gather a list of all possible modes, maps, and settings for both games.

3. How did the autoplay option work?

4. Can you find a video example of what the News/Messages box looked like on the original server for Socom I/II?

5. Did Socom I have a game update feature?

6. Video examples of the Clan option menu (Socom I & II)?

7. Video of logging in Socom II and making it into the main online menu.

Socom 1
on an emulator during when the servers were still online. Shows the online process starting from the main menu, and the lobbies



[EDIT]



Despite the poor quality, this shows the online lobby and server news alert for
Socom 2

Pretty good stuff so far.

I think a thread should be created on TRS with the questions and the stuff you've found so far. That way no one will need to register on TMA to post information.

Just added a poor video quality vid of the Socom 2 online lobby and Sever News message box, when the servers were still online.

Hey guys, I appreciate your efforts. I don't know if you have seen how much hype this has caused but certainly a lot nonetheless. I do see a lot of concern regarding the cheating, but one thing I reckon most of you haven't been up to date with the new R0005 Patch created by Harry62 on TRS socom forums. I invite you to check it out in the link posted below, and again thank you so much for considering this idea. I can assure you the community is ecstatic and would not mind pitching in whatever we can.
