How Novaworld Join Game Works - The technical side

**MasterX(BKC)** · 11-23-2012, 08:21 AM

OK blue, seriously, this autologout crap has axxed me from posting a bunch of times, please set the timer higher....

Anyhow this is a rundown on how joining a game through novaworld works, and how with some work we can make C4 join by IP, as well as host our own game join lists without the need for novaworld logins or novaworld to even be in existence.

So how does it work?

1. You click on join game in the multiplayer menu and the "Integrated Browser" aka IBGL loads the login page for novaworld.

2. You login to novaworld and are presented with the main menu.

3. Clicking on Gameservers causes IBGL to download the game list GLB Data from:
http://nw4.novaworld.net/c4_2.glb

This is the GLB Data Sampled at 5:28 AM Arizona Time Sept 23, 2012, at the time two servers were up, Rat Cage, and C4V

4. The "Integrated Browser" IBGL decodes that into a HTML style document and makes links in the form of the following:
http://nw4.novaworld.net/c4_2_join.joi?RID=67108867 - This was C4Vs Join Link at the sample time, making a start page for C4 with this as a hyperlink auto joins that server.

Here is a RAM Dump of C4 with the integrated Browser sitting on the Game list, While you see the RID in the lower area
and "The Rat Cage" at the top, the RID listed is actually for C4V, the IBGL is messy organizationally in ram.

5. OK so we clicked on C4Vs server to join, now what happens, IBGL follows the hyperlink with the RID
code provided by GLB Data and novaworlds servers respond with the IP address, Port, and 3 other pieces of
data im not sure the meaning of. See the code below, More closely the <TITLE> section. When IBGL sees
that string of code, it activates a join function with it.

Provided are five pieces of information, Only NK and CK are needed to join....the others seem to have no purpose.
NK=iifnkhilfhfnkjkjs - Encoded Gameserver IP and Port = 50.92.46.13:17479 - Use "Real IP for DF:LW" in the downloads section to decode
CK=lmpk - Checksum to join, like a server password. UPDATE: The Checksum from yesterday is still good, so it must only be regenerated after a server restart.
NI=72.67.0.54 - IP of the novaworld server that originated the GLB Data. Not Required
NP=3875 - Server Port Number?? Not Required
BK=293036 - Unknown Not Required

<p>If you don't automatically join the game, it could be due to one of
the following reasons:
<br>1) there is not enough time left in the game
<br>2) the game does not have room for any more players
<br>3) the sysop has locked the game from further player joins

Update:By simply pasting the last code box into my startup file, C4 auto joins C4V as soon as i click join and the IBGL loads. No Login, No Mess around...

This is how we can do it, Make a page for each server with the adequate code added, and make a menu that links to each of those pages. Also add a link to the bottom that goes to the default novaworld login page so both methods are usable.

The end game goal tho, would be to have a PHP script that can log itself into novaworld, and decode the GLB data, and automatically create and update OUR join pages....

has anyone posted available the new c4med editor that comes with the steam version, it seems to have a lot more options than i remember including a wireframe view, and more....

Its titled C4MED Consumer 1.987

**MasterX(BKC)** · 11-24-2012, 05:17 AM

Updated first post, the checksum to join is only regenerated when the server is restarted, discovered when i tried the same one today and it still works.

Confirmed: I just created a few servers, and the checksum only changes when you restart the server, it remains the same in between map changes and cycles. It never changed period unless i exitted the server back to the menu. Unfortunatly i did a search of a ramdump of a running C4 server and the checksum doesnt appear to be present, so its either generated by NW servers, or its encoded in the gameservers ram so its not readable.

This is good stuff. Not sure what you mean by auto logout but I'll look into it. I did discover one thing. If you are using linux, you need to be sure and check that box when logging in..it just timed me out reading this thread and replying..lol

**MasterX(BKC)** · 11-25-2012, 02:15 AM

im on Windows XP x64, i believe its the cookie expire time in the forum settings. I got logged out in the time it took to type a paragraph.

**RAB** · 11-26-2012, 03:17 AM

I checked the option to keep me logged in. And I'm still logged in every time I visit the site. Have gone a couple weeks and came back and still logged in.

**MasterX(BKC)** · 11-26-2012, 04:11 AM

i hadnt checked the remember me button, but i got forgotten within the time it took to make a post....

The goal in discovering the info above, was so that with a simple custom startup file, once again it would be possible to join games without logging into novaworld. And this is a success, the info above is enough for now.

All we need is a custom url for the startup file to link to with the following:
A list of regular servers that are up and are not rebooted too frequently.
We make joingame links for each which will work easily.

We add a link to also be able to continue on to the normal novaworld login.

We publish a guide that shows the server ops how to get their own servers checksum for joining,
and give them access to update their IP and checksum as they please whenever they reboot
the server.

Then the game can simply be downloaded onto any PC, flash drive, whatever, and played online.

And the last benefit is, all we need to make sure were good if Nova ever drops C4 from novaworld
is someone or me to figure out to make a small app/keygen to get the checksum an easier way, or
automatically. The checksum eludes me so far getting it directly from the server at least. I just
login to NW and get the checksum from novas own data atm.

Take that novalogic!
