HI IS ANYONE ANY GOOD WITH JAVA?

[»Purge]

Probably. Post your question.

[gamble2]

i have all the files to an old java based game, the folder is full of .class files, some html files and some text documents. When the game was up and running 5-6 years ago it had a log in feature, points system etc (similar to ss). Some time ago a friend of mine got the files to load as they used to (when the game was alive) but you couldn't log in because we didnt have the database for it. Is it at all possible to re-create a database from scratch that can be loaded to run with and in co operation with the files? Or would you need the original?

[Samapico]

I'd guess you need to scroll through the source and find what kind of stuff is needed in the database, and make one.

 

Either that, or you simply need to have it point to a fresh database it can actually access...

 

Depends on what is in there I guess

[»Maverick]

If you only have .class files and no source files with the extension .java (or maybe those text files), then you won't be able to create a new database from scratch (although maybe if you reverse engineer the .class files but it wouldn't be quite readable).

If you have the source files, you would be able to create a new database by checking the queries that are done in the source code. This would still be a cumbersome process and prone to errors as you're missing alot of information.

 

The best and most efficient way is to get the original database :-)

 

 

If you don't mind handing out a copy of the game, you should attach the game here so one of the java developers or me can take a look for you.

reverse engineering java class files is doable and readable, given they haven't been obfuscated. I've used DJ Java Decompiler in the past and that worked well ^^

Hi is anyone good with java? I need some help. I have the source code to an old java based game i used to play but no database. Does anyone have aenough know how to compile a new db and get it to run with the source code?

[Gamble]

I posted this a little while back and forgot lol...

 

here is the source code;

That is not the source code; it's the compiled binaries. You'll need to use a decompiler and hope for the best (most Java decompilers don't handle 1.5+ features very well).

[»Maverick]

If I remember and have time this evening, I can take a look.

 

 

 

 

PS. Anyone mind merging this topic with the other same topic?

I've looked into the decompiled .class files and couldn't find a single SQL query in it.

 

What I found out is that it used to connect to a server for login procedures and most likely for the entire game (as it was something like a MMOG from what I can google). You need to have the wormhole server running for the game to function. It seems it used to be here: http://games.centerscore.com/games/x/whserver/

 

Without the server there is no chance for you to revive the game.

[»Xog]

Here you go guys, I know I made someone happy today. It's not the actual game but it's very similar, and someone had mentioned wormhole a few posts down and said a few things about it.

 

Believe it or not, I actually found the .class files for wormhole. So I decompiled them and I now have wormhole's source code. Obviously, I cannot play the game because there is currently no server online, which is why I get the "Cannot connect to the server" message. I sent an email out to Centerscore (centerfleet) about possibly obtaining the server application. I doubt they will reply, so right now I reviewing the source code so I can possibly create a test server for myself.

 

If all things turn out well, I will be creating a forum soon, I also need to buy a site in which I can host this game on.

I don't know if this well help with the whole server application finding situation, but:

Game looks kind of familiar, although there were a bunch of space shooter games back in the 1990s. There is one game in particular that I am thinking about, but I do not know its name...

Due to the volumes of inquiries we receive, Centerscore only lists our email addresses for contact. However, we do check these emails and respond to nearly all inquiries.

 

For those interested in investing in Centerscore, we currently are a private company and do not trade publicly.

 

Our popular Center Fleet internet games are no longer available on the web and are not for sale. However, we hope to develop some of these games, including Wormhole, for the cell phone.

Man, that's awesome. If only it were for SubSpace/Continuum...

[kawaiimomo]

I know it has been ages since last post but I want to bring back to life Avalanche (icetris 2). I cannot access centerscore.com, could anyone send me or upload the classes please??

[kawaiimomo]

2 years after, still ages from last activity, I managed to get the Avalanche client files back (obfuscated .class files) and the images, but could not recover the server files.

I plan to reverse engineering or remake it from scratch if I see there's enough interest in it. I created a Facebook group to gather the fans, please join http://facebook.com/groups/480086535398867
