Project 1999 started without the blessings of Daybreak. Now they have their support. This should be of little concern, as little to nothing can be done to shut this down.

sounds like a plan. Good on yas

Hopefully the community can update it via the Emulator.

We should make sanctuary-locks possible as a potential event when we have hack prevention.

The tool is coming along, but I still have to design and test robust capturing of packets - PlanetSide has a flood when transferring or joining worlds. Plenty of problems to solve

Any updates? I've got tons of free time and nostalgia right now

It should probably have a "Players Online" count before you launch. Would be useful to tell if people were on

Sorry for the lack of updates! Really busy with RL.

Coming soon...



You would never know it until you started capturing, but PlanetSide chews through over 15,000 packets JUST from login. The client has the receive all of the current world state. I can't imagine how many packets would be flying around during a three way...

Haven't logged in in 1392 days. Just wanted to say I'm super stoked for this. Also, I just get the old PS "Disconnected" message when I try to log in through your launcher. Maybe its on my end, idk. my PS1 folder has been bounced around 2-3 HDDs and a few installs of windows, because who re-downloads things?

If you get disconnected when logging into PS1 just try again a couple of times and it'll usually work (unless the server really is down).

That would be because the first login server in the list is down (and has been for a couple of months). If you edit client.ini in your Planetside root directory, you will see this

[network]

# ABLPLS-LOGIN-01
login0=64.37.158.81:45000
login1=64.37.158.81:45001
<snip>

change login0's port to 45001 like below, save the file, and restart Planetside.

Its awesome that someone is willing to undertake this project!

I want to pledge my support in whatever way I can, even if it just means playing the game. I'm a professional game designer so although I don't have the coding or backend expertise to be of much help early on, maybe you can use my skills at a later point. Until then, I'd be happy to help out with the rest of the guys in whatever capacity you can use us.

A robust anti-cheating system and community moderation seems like the best thing to come out of this. I can't wait to see progress on that end!

Great work - Keep the progress

Also while im here - The most up to date place to find PS1 installer

My self and Nerak of the VS would play more if there was more players and less hackers. Nerak logs in every night and at times she stays and plays other its a just log on log out. We would both play if it was like the old days. We played since the game started, Nerak feels lost if no one is around

[Nerak]

Hi all I was told tonight about this forum, i never realised it still existed.
Glad it does. I still log in most nights and sometimes do manage to play. Hackers are spoiling it though. Keep me updated to what is happening please. I love ps1 and would love to see it back to its wonderful full glory,. i play vs and with LFS.
