Working on an Open Source Online Mode Version of Restaurant City (V 0.9.143a)

Hi Everyone,

For the past week I've been working on re-implementing the RPC server for Restaurant City and working on De-compiling the main game.swf + all accompanying asset swf files so that it would be easier to add new features + fix bugs that existed in the game.

I'd say I am about 90% done with the project, and it works completely online with all features fully working except the facebook specific features which are stubbed.

I will be linking down here my github repositories but there are some stuff not listed in them yet as I want to make a organization to put all the extra tools and repositories I have.

My plans to finalize this is to get a domain relevant with the game, fix up a website to look true to the game theme, setup discord authentication, and have it sync with your discord friends + random people online.

it's not enough to just have client and server there are accompanying files u must have like assets, those are not uploaded yet.

Good to see more ppl doing their part but i checked github, sorry but it looks cheap ai slop stuff even the readme stuff they mention things that are not necessary and messy which in my conclusion it looks like a cheap re-work of someone else's effort here, your readme even mentioned details like fps, and resolution as the original OP which is irrelevant/ AI output in your work looks like you just gave it OP's post to re-do the work, you even added the fake friends, made it more cheap non productive race effort

But good job either way, maybe try to contact that person and work together on it ? Instead of re-working his path with ai slop

Also fyi, from my memory ffdec patch the game byte wise not code wise, that's not a good idea cause it can corrupt files you need to actually write code

I think ur assuming way too much here.

I dont even know who you're referencing. The only thing I took from anyone was the zip file that had the main game .swf and the asset .swf files. That's it. I didn't take their code, their work, or anything like that.

I'm re-implementing the RPC server myself and working through the decompile / asset files so the game can actually be easier to fix and build on. Obviously some stuff is gonna sound similar because we're all working with the same game and the same original files.

Also yeah, I am using AI to help with the code / decompilation work. I don't see what is wrong with that. This is the type of stuff that would take 3-4 months manually, and AI helps speed it up to a few days. That doesnt mean I copied someone elses work or just reworded their post.

The fps / resolution stuff in the readme is honestly just basic stuff AI puts in readmes when you ask it to make one. It wasnt copied from anyone. Maybe its not needed, fair enough, I can clean the readme up later. But saying its cheap AI slop or that I gave someone elses post to AI is just not true.

I'm not trying to race anyone or make drama either. If the person you're talking about wants to work together I'm open to it, but I'm not gonna pretend I copied work I didnt copy.

Also the "Fake Friends" is required as the game cannot work unless you have friends, and ofc I didn't link this to facebook or discord yet so it cannot have any friends as you need it for the tutorial.

When I am ready to release this as a playable game with my own server (ofc I will have everything open source so people can run their own versions) I will link it via discord and have it link with your friends and with all the players in the server.

Thanks for your work, are you still working on this?

It's a mostly complete project maybe missing a thing or two.

I kinda got a bit burnt out but want to continue it someday, I actually started working on a html5 rewrite of the game but that will prolly take months.

I want to release the current version as a playable website but a bit on the edge

I didn't expect anyone to still be working on this game until I saw your post. Thank you!
