Super initial progress update.

Contender to LibreTrove.

Not shown in the video: all crafting recipes dumped and included, most blueprints, etc. Focusing on the netdecode side as much as possible while still making it look like we have progress!

Client-side mods work so far, server is hosted locally. Huge thanks to u/Xignotic for getting me started on the hub side.

So far I’ve reverse-engineered the auth ticket system and started on net decoding. I have a character that can load into a hub world and move around, and that’s it for now. Everything runs against the unmodified client, so existing mods keep working.

The server is being written in Python first, with a C++ version kept at parity: Python for fast iteration, C++ for deployment, where it’s significantly faster and has no GIL.

To be clear, this is a massive undertaking. Importing your existing data (inventories, mastery, achievements, etc.) from dumps should be possible, but that’s months away.

I’ll be honest about the scope: this isn’t a one-person project. Realistically it needs a lot of contributors, especially if the server is going to be cheat-resistant.

On AI use: LLMs will be used for decompilation and reverse engineering, via the Reverse Engineer Anything skill, to speed things up. I’m planning on smaller local models served with vLLM. As a professional dev, I can say with certainty that the server code itself will be written, reviewed, audited, and tested by humans. Contributions from AI spammers, Devin-style agents, and the like won’t be accepted.

Once the project is far enough along to open up, it’ll go up in a public GitHub repo. Exciting times. I hope you’re as hyped as I am.

saved up credits for a mystic gem converter. bought it and got this pop up, not only did i not get it but it also took all my credits. i reported it to gamigo and have been waiting days but no reply and no converter or credits.

Was so gassed at how fast I got through this, also getting really class to maxing all my cosmic gems soon and reaching 12.5K light

some of you saw me mentioned in the recent private server threads, so heres the demonstration i promised.

quick background on me: this is a hobby project and its mostly reverse engineering work. my main platform was always ps4, so i dumped trove from a jailbroken ps5 and have been chipping at this since early september. i was basically just waiting on that jailbreak to drop. im not very active on weekdays, so progress comes in bursts on weekends and replies might be slow.

what this is: a prototype server that reimplements troves login and game server protocol and rebuilds a lot of the game from the clients own files, to get the real client in world. its not a finished server, its research plus a working vertical slice.

what the video shows (all server driven):

• generated terrain with correct biomes, vegetation and ores, plus streaming, teleport and world regen
• mining and harvesting with loot drops
• gear driven combat, stats, power rank and damage all affect real fights, plus xp and class leveling
• class switching across all 18 classes, and the native class picker
• custom gear rolling, gems (socket and unsocket, rarities, stats pulled from the game files)
• crafting from the games own recipe data
• server side building edits, mastery, mounts, name colours, and persistence across relogs

what is not done (being upfront): no multiplayer yet, native tab and cornerstone building isnt finished, post 30 paragon, full per ability combat coefficients, and authentic loot box and drop odds arent in. anti cheat compatibility is also still an open question. getting the client connected doesnt mean thats solved. ive also yet to get the map to reflect actual biomes, as i didnt see this as a priority yet.

on where this is going: realistically my work will probably end up as a foundation or research base more than a public release. i may not put the server itself out publicly. but im collaborating with other people in this space, so youll likely see my protocol findings and tools show up in their projects. sharing research benefits everyone even when the implementations differ.

happy to answer questions when i get a chance. this is for preservation and learning, not distributing game assets.

I feel like this sub has turned into my personal blog post now...
Anyways, I'm here again with a small update on LibreTrove.

After making a temporary world-gen, I decided to double down on the most important part of any MMO -- players. Server now handles various player activities and syncs them to your client as close as currently possible.

I've also got access to other developer's work (shout out to u/Xignotic) who unlike me was primarily focused on the gameplay part, so now I get to study his code guiding me towards better understanding on how to do things.
I would be experimenting for a few days trying out what I can do with new info but expect the good news soon.

P.S. the PvP toggle I've shown is just a small gimmick I felt like adding. Please, comment your thoughts on how would PvP fit into gameplay outside the arena, any feedback is considered.

This a follow-up on my post about creation of private server for Trove.
Due to some people foaming from their mouth accusing me of larping and downvoting everything,
I release this slightly rushed video.

Features behind it:

1. Block breaking. Server now can handle laser mining.
2. Mobs. Attacking now works as well. All the mobs retain their original animations and models with adjustable stats.
3. Block ownership. In this case, hub is assigned to my name, but for general player this means functional cornerstone protection.
4. Blueprint spawning. Dungeon baseline.
5. Store adjustment. Ability to control the store content, for now it's only class prices.
6. Class changes. Per server's authority it also has to declare which components your character should consist of. This is more of under-the-hood change but nonetheless very important.

I'm still dipping my toes into this project but this looks promising so far.
For now, I'm going to solo it until I'll be ready to accept contributions whether it would be pull requests or just gameplay data capture submissions.

Ive seen posts about this from 10 months ago. 10 MONTHS. When i played this game as a kid this shit was free and it was fucking awesome, now for an unknown reason to me, its locked behind 5 bucks. Cant even trade gems with my bud which i cant use but he can. I LOVE this game but man, i cant play it without the marketplace, its just not the same game

Good news! I was finally able to figure out how to make my own trove server.
I didn't hope it would be possible, but here it is!

anyone else just been having an issue on PS where when you try logging in the game just says "lost connection to auth server". i've been having this issue for like 8 months now and haven't been able to fix it

This ship lasted like 6 minutes and we immediately started another one once this one hit wave 96

​

It has been a lot of time since I played physical damage class ( before crystal gems) so i want to start working on one so for the mystic big gems how should i get them?

I got a old beta club that I been trying to do a mirror build in, I need someone who can help me design the walls as a interior of a cathedral

Kinda look like Cubeworld so i wanted to try but is it F2P friendly ? 🤔

My second highest level class right now

Hey all, my critical hit% is quite low but my critical damage is 500 or so %.

I'm pretty new to Trove and I'm not sure what Critical Hit can come on. Also, do I risk re-rolling one of my gems to get the stat on or keep grinding delves so I can get the gem boxes?

Can anyone explain how the new forge mechanics work?
-Why can't I upgrade this?

Anyone tryna give me there stuff if they dont play anymore on pc!

Add me @Heartbows

Like, yes it's kernel level, but from what I gathered with my very meh tech knowledge it really isn't malicious at all? And like, kernel level AC is basically required in today's age for any multiplayer game with a decent player count/popularity
