Still WIP. Things that need done:

• [ ] The Visual Studio build is currently broken
  • [ ] Generated sources are no longer checked in, VS will need to generate them as part of the build process
  • [ ] Dependencies are coming from vcpkg, and differ from those that have been checked into the repo
• [ ] There's a bunch of duplicate code around hostname resolution, that should be moved into Platform.
• [ ] Inclusion of platform specific headers is overzealous in some places.
• [ ] Use CPack to generate ready to go tarballs
• [ ] Support linking against system libraries, instead of relying on vcpkg
• [ ] Some cruft from cmake-converter is still hanging around

Where we're at right now:

• [x] Server runs on Linux, accepts connections
• [ ] (Untested) Server handles game traffic correctly

So we did port forwarding for my own server and both me and my friend were able to connect to the server and join the game however when we put down the White Sign soapstone it wont appear. However we discovered that if the one of us puts down our White Sign soapstone in the exact spot that the other put their stone down and then get rid of it the others stone will finally appear but when we try to summon each other it will pretend its joining session, itll say being summoned or something like that but 5 seconds later it says unable to join session i cant tell whats causing this. We put passwords, we both used embers at the same time it doesn't seem to be an issue in game as we our also doing it in an area where there is still the main alive. The weird thing is is that summoning each other worked for a at first and for a good while, we were able to summon each other for the first 2 or 3 areas at first but when we reached the crucifix woods we were no longer able to summon each other. Do you know what is going on.

Hello,

I like the idea of creating an alternative server during official server taking down period! Just wondering if the network setting for DS3 and DSR are similar enough and would DSR get this support in future? Appreciate you work!

Hello, author, I am very excited to see your project, my friends and I want to play Dark Souls through private server, and we have an idle server,maybe not big, but enough for 2-3 person you know. I would like to ask what we need to change in the project if we want to use our own server, hope to get your reply.

OS: Windows 10 (21H2 19044.1415) Game Version: Steam (1.15.0.0) Mods: None Ports forwarded: I opened all ports from 50000 - 50050 with UDP and TCP Config file: config.zip (don't worry I removed any public IP's and stuff)

So basically I'm running into this issue where I can connect to my game server just fine by using a local IP, but as soon as I go past my router and my friend (who is outside my network) tries to connect it just dies and doesn't even ping the server once.

I also tried multiple different solutions from inserting my local IP to using my public one to even using Hamachi and using their IP address but to no avail. I've taken extra care to make sure that I'm port forwarding this to the correct IP address and that I'm using the correct ports but nothing. Only when using Hamachi I got my friends client to connect once but it just quickly connected to my client and then disconnected (or at least according to the console)

I got kinda confused by the JSON file and how I had to actually configure it because there's barely any documentation on what all the values do / how they could affect the game.

I've also read thru the issues to see if they could fix my answer but none actually fixed the issue, I've tried multiple but to no avail

I'm attempting to run this via Proton, so I can spin up a private coop server for my son and I. The server starts, though it complains that it's not getting valid json back from the master server. I assume it's working at least locally.

The loader comes up, and I imported the config from the server. I set the path to the Dark souls 3 exe, it says it's valid and detected Steam version. I can't figure out what to do next though? I am guessing the button on the bottom right is supposed to un-grey and let me launch the game using that?

Is there something I'm missing? I did install the prereq VSC++ runtime into this container as instructed.

I realize what I'm attempting here is completely unsupported, I'm just hoping that maybe there's some way to make this work via Proton. I'd like to play Cinders mod co-op with my son and not get him banned.

It's been two weeks or so. When I try to host my CMD prompt is filled with: "CurrentDateAndTime │ Warning │ │ Recieved error when trying to advertise server on master server. Response was not valid json."

When I open the Loader I can't see any server up.

It's happening with me and a couple of friends, we were able to use the program before.

Trying to join a private session always returns "Failed to log in to the DARK SOULS III game server."

• Tried hosting on both ends, the host can join it's own server, the client cannot and doesn't even log an connection attempt
• Double checked public and private IPs
• Double checked port forwading settings for both
• Shared the "server.ds3osconfig" file
• Put Loader and Server in firewall exceptions
• Ran in admin mode
• Ran without AV software
• Ran with Cloudflare Warp
• Repaired the VC Redist prerequisite

None of these had any noticeable effect.

Hi, I'm hosting a private server to continue my co-op playthrough with friends while the official servers are down. They can see my summon sign without issue, but I can't see theirs. Did I do something wrong? I can see my friend's ghosts running around at the bonfire, and they can summon me without issues.

I'm trying to log into a friend's server with the Convergence mod active. DS3 will start with a white screen for 3 seconds, turn black for 2 seconds, then crash. During this time the DS3 cursor is displayed Its not happening on the vanilla copy. The confusing thing is, that several other friends are able to connect with Convergence just fine. DS3 starts just fine when launched normally.

Which log files should I send?

Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated especially since the fromsoft servers are down.

In the game there is a restriction on the orders of weapons and a level, is it possible to configure the server config to disable these restrictions that, for example, 200 LVL could be renewed to 1. I know that with the help of a red chalk and password, this restrictions can be bypassed, but it is interesting to me exactly the invasion of Random players with a red eye. I noticed that in the config there are lines responsible for the balance and conducted monipulations with them, but the results did not give it, so I ask to help explain about the omniscient)

As you can see in my attachment screenshot, the exe location seems not to work. Also, the "Launch game" button is greyed out. Does it have something to do with my PC and game being Japanese? I live in Japan.

summary

• call to bool NetIPAddress::IsPrivateNetwork() from a NetIPAddress whose address is 127.0.0.1 should get false instead of true

details

I have a server at home which has no public IP and a VPS(both running Ubuntu). A reverse proxy(from fatedier/frp) is set up for port forwarding(TCP 50050, TCP 50000, UDP 50010 will work) so that server can be accessed globally. However, IP addresses of connections through the reverse proxy are always 127.0.0.1, which are classified as "appears to be on private subnet" by function bool NetIPAddress::IsPrivateNetwork() and the connections are redirected to the private IP of the server, which is inaccessible from other subnets. Thus, connections between the game client from other subnets and the server cannot be established.

fix

• Simply make 127.0.0.1 an exception in IsPrivateNetwork() to prevent redirections, as the function is only called to judge whether redirections should take place.

• modification

bool IsPrivateNetwork()
{
    if (Bytes[0] == 127 && Bytes[1] == 0 && Bytes[2] == 0 && Bytes[3] == 1)     // ! 127.0.0.1
        return false;
    return
        Bytes[0] == 127 ||                                                      // 127.*.*.*
        Bytes[0] == 10 ||                                                       // 10.*.*.*
        (Bytes[0] == 172 && Bytes[1] >= 16 && Bytes[1] <= 31) ||                // 172.16.*.* -> 172.31.*.*
        (Bytes[0] == 192 && Bytes[1] == 168);                                   // 192.168.*.*
}

Below is my anti-cheat config:

"AntiCheatApplyPenalties": true, "AntiCheatBanMessage": "反外挂自动Ban了.", "AntiCheatBanThreshold": 100.0, "AntiCheatDisconnectMessage": "档有问题，踢了.", "AntiCheatDisconnectThreshold": 25.0, "AntiCheatEnabled": true, "AntiCheatScore_ClientFlagged": 0.0, "AntiCheatScore_Exploit": 0.0, "AntiCheatScore_ImpossibleGetItemQuantity": 0.0, "AntiCheatScore_ImpossibleLocation": 0.0, "AntiCheatScore_ImpossibleName": 0.0, "AntiCheatScore_ImpossiblePlayTime": 0.0, "AntiCheatScore_ImpossibleStatDelta": 0.0, "AntiCheatScore_ImpossibleStats": 26.0, "AntiCheatScore_UnfairDisconnect": 0.0, "AntiCheatSendWarningMessageInGame": true, "AntiCheatSendWarningMessageInGameInterval": 999999.0, "AntiCheatWarningMessage": "警告，警告.", "AntiCheatWarningThreshold": 10.0,

With this config i only want to kick out players with impossible stat and ban them if they keep logging in with that character. But i found that when my character name is Chinese, server sends blank warning message in game. I read the code and found out when AntiCheatScore_ImpossibleName is 0.0 the ShouldApplyPenalty of AntiCheatState is true, thus server sends blank warning message(WarningMessage is initialized to "") in game. This is annoying for players.

Maybe we should not let ShouldApplyPenalty be true when corrsponding anti-cheat score is 0.0 or check WarningMessage before sending to make sure we do not send blank warning message?

in https://github.com/TLeonardUK/ds3os/blob/4f3c12e7dc21faebcaaebe680b3b48b2247943ea/Source/Server/Core/Network/NetIPAddress.h#L22 there are some typos in subscripts:

Bytes[0] = 127;
Bytes[0] = 0;
Bytes[0] = 0;
Bytes[0] = 1;

should be:

Bytes[0] = 127;
Bytes[1] = 0;
Bytes[2] = 0;
Bytes[3] = 1;

Though it may not cause problems, for now, it might bring about some difficulty in debugging someday if the default constructor is invoked. Thanks for your awesome work by the way.

I am a server host, when player from my server reports cheaters to me i cant always respond immediately. Once the cheaters go offline, it is quite difficult to ban them. I will be very grateful to see that host can ban offline cheater by inputing their steam magic number in the web ui
