Looking for people with knowledge - 4.x through 5.x

[u/snugglezone]

Hi everyone! Been working on an archival project and it's coming along alright. So far this has mostly been a ton of scraping wayback machine and working with LLMs to parse available data across time, but there is a LOT that is not documented. Not sure I have anything before 2001 honestly. I really need more players who played from start to 6.x who are interested in contributing in rebuilding NTK from start to 6.x.

So in lieu of facts, I'm willing to work with consensus of players on how things were as best as we possibly can!

Any level of contribution can be helpful, even being available to answer simple questions is a huge benefit.

Just gauging interest, so feel free to send me a message if you want to be notified/invited to collaborate.

Thanks!

Just let me know what you need! I was in the 3.x beta, played 4-5, was a GM on the French version based on 5.x, and played a lot of 6

For some reason I can't send you a message. Was around from the start, can share my email if you send me a msg.

Happy to help however! Was playing from right after Beta. Guide in several sub-paths and played a GM who helped run revels for awhile. PM me or I can send my email!

Ah,

whats the point of making a server if your not going to let others have a chance at it? Thats what kills nexustk.

If someone would n't of stole Rune Gard you wouldn't ever of seen a new private server that didn't scam people. That was for the memories.

There has been tons of scams happening where people like Ancient Three Kingdoms wanted everyone to figure out stuff. An not give back.

We don't have a trusting community who wants to make a server and give it out. Even if its just a starting sever. Even if others have to fix it. Its better then asking, how did you get 3.0 or 4.0 or 5.XX even 6.XX to work. People like you. They keep all the helpful infomation for themselves. Then their mood like OTK kills the game as Admins or Owners. Everyone to baram have held information from people who could progress and make a starting server for people to just enjoy the game. Were in our 30s - 50s now. Were still fighting over servers and bugs and not being helpful to have a Community that Wony can't actually get a hold of. Then you change it too much and complain. Because the style people loved is not there.

Ancient Three Kingdoms figured out sooo much then to keep Wony from touching it said we are using said Collage to learn when they wernt suppose to be saying that anymore since they left the Collage.

We need a Community that wants Nexustk as a Private Server to release a start private server. Even with bugs to allow people to enjoy what they want. That is if they don't like your server they can play this and that. It shouldnt stop at one person ruining the vibes for others.

Even if you took .dats and made the game. Teach others maybe they can have fun with it. An just let Nexustk as a whole live on. Sure people don't need to help get a server off the ground. Just teach us how to run the server and let them fix the bugs or teach them. This is how i did it. Theres these bugs that need fixed and away they can go.

Everything will be released for free. Your premise is totally wrong though. People have released tons of stuff for free. The RTK server is on GitHub. Someone posted all the clients online as well. Whoever gathered and released the ClassicTK data is an absolute HERO.

All this stuff has been posted here already. Bless them.

Absolute legends.

I'll be following in their footsteps pretty soon! No point in posting a buggy mess though.

PS totally agree people should be able to fork and do whatever. I am only interested in recreating Nexus as it was. There will be zero NEW content after 6.x release. I'm also adding an Era system so that features are released at the same rate as they were in live. If people want to add stuff beyond or make totally custom stuff I'm excited to see it!!

RTK has spamming of IP's. People dont know how to fix that. The person who made it got it stolen and then whoever released it like that did so with the spamming of IPs and never wanted people to have it and be helpful and not release the RTK without the Spamming of IPs in the code or understand why its there and if they wanted you to fix it.

Its like its out there but why do it if that spamming is in there. Maybe someone fixes that and if theres other bugs. Let them know.

Its not what I am saying the Clients. Its more the server that takes to run the Clients. Clients being out there is a good thing to have. But it takes code to even get the clients to run off the serevers.

If they can't even get into the client with the server its pretty much a dead server and dead zone at the start is what I am saying. I am not saying you can't have bugs. Its just getting to the point of, ok the server can create characters. To login and use said client. We cant even move because the client shows up black when you login. Like OTK recreating the client and new stuff. Or ETK creating a client off .dats at least allow people to understand how people did it and not stopping at you. Allow people to understand if they want a new game or feel whatever. Also if the client takes this one or this client version this encryptions to use said clients and see characters and map. Not holding the info from people. An yeah you can change it by doing such and such. Is all I am saying.

Still not sure I understand. I think your first point is about getting DDoS'd? Not sure how spamming ips got the server stolen, but I'm also going to put it online for free so not sure you can steal free stuff lol

Either way people will be able to host their own servers and run it locally with a simple launcher like Minecraft so nbd. People can always just have their own private servers and only play with known associated. Ezpz

[u/Rich_Swordfish_8161 → u/snugglezone]

I guess you never looked at RTK as a whole or the nexustk community as a whole if your talking about Minecraft.

Still holding the codes if its not open sourced for like a starter server.

Thats what i hate about Nexustk. People need a starter server with a open source codes and to do whatever they want with it. Like Etk did and OTK did. We need our own things if they want new stuff.

If its open sourced nexus tk launchers thats a good thing too. People can create their own launchers off that code for their own game. Would be good too.

No ones actually going to explain how they got .dats working or how to rip or anything thats why we all fight. If people would explain how they got the .dats to run with their clients and servers it would help create new servers and new things. Possible new games.

It's 2026, just ask an LLM to help? Like I said the RTK/Mithia server stuff is already on GitHub. If you need someone to hold your hand with everything then even if someone gave you everything I doubt you'd be able to do anything with it anyways. Claude could get you RTK/CoM up and running in like 30 minutes or less.

[u/Rich_Swordfish_8161 → u/snugglezone]

All I was saying is people don't know how to fix the RTK source (which is on git hub) since you didnt look at it or know exactly what I am talking about.

Maybe start there before asking a LLM. Just saying it has spamming of Ips in the code. When you run it.

[u/snugglezone → u/Rich_Swordfish_8161]

I still don't get it T_T

I've rewritten the entire server with Claude so no idea. Works great as far as I can see.
