conquer offline

[thekorganut]

[SIZE="6"]I'm making an offline version of Conquer, meaning it runs on the computer without the need for an internet connection. The server the game will need to connect to is a server on the computer itself.
Of course, I'm not a programming expert, so I'm using artificial intelligence to help me with codes and the like.
I downloaded client 5017, even though the device keeps screaming that it's infected. I also tried downloading a loader.
I downloaded client 5018, client 5065, and client 5095. However, there's a constant problem here, and the artificial intelligence completely failed to solve it.
The first problem I'm facing is that I can't find the servier.ini or config.ini file to edit them with my local server data. However, the artificial intelligence told me to edit the servier.dat file, and I actually edited it as it said, added my local server data, and opened the client. The game asks for an update, and of course it refuses and gives me a normal login interface, and my local server appears in front of me. It also confirms that the local server is connected by executing a command on the command prompt for the version, and confirms that the server is actually running and listening, but when I try to log in, an error message appears saying that the client is unable to connect to the servier.dat file. I tried all the methods suggested by the AI, but we failed miserably to solve this problem. The strange thing is that this problem appears with all the clients I mentioned at the beginning of the post. Of course, I edited the file by opening it as a notepad file, deleting the data in it, adding the data for my local server, and saving it in ansl format. The problem still says unable to connect to the data server, whatever the client. Please provide a solution, please.

I dont know on those lower versions, but it probably wont accept localhost address on the server.dat

TQ files read as sequential, follow the original file fields order, if you change the field orders it will become useless.

Working example (4351):

[Header]
GroupAmount=1
Group1=GroupPic10

[Group1]
ServerAmount=1

Server1=Local
Ip1=192.168.15.9
Port1=9958
ServerName1=Unicorn
HintWord1= 
Pic1=servericon74

Don't forget to skip one extra line.

For an offline CO experience, take a look at https://github.com/conquer-online/cops-serverless (but it requires C++)

Imagine this with newer clients that supports LUA

Do you suggest that I change the server.data file data with the data you attached?

How can I modify it?

Does modifying the server.data file require a specific program or can it be done via Notepad?

Can anyone here give me a ready-made version of the game that uses my computer as a server to connect instead of needing the internet and connecting to an external server?

I'm not sure how many open sources are ready to go with everything working, if I'm being honest. The level of detail for each will vary.

While some sources won't let you use 127.0.0.1, you should be able to use your IPv4 - you can find this in windows with using your command prompt "/ipconfig all" under your connection type. If on wifi, you'll most likely want to find the "Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi." This is due to how 127 is more of a loopback - not going to go into detail here on it. 

If you are looking for a ready-to-go server to try and do a single-player experience, Emu or Redux probably works well for you. Albetros would be good too if more things were implemented but ...if you don't know how to code then getting rebirth to work alone would be a struggle. AI is great assistance but can hinder learning. I don't believe vibe coding is going to work on a pre-made source like these but I may be wrong.

I think AI could best fit writing comments for the code to help you learn what code chunks do, which will help you learn to do changes and your own thing.

Unfortunately, I have been trying for more than a week, at a rate of more than 12 hours a day, and with the help of artificial intelligence Grok level 3, and I tried more than one version, so I tried coemu-master, Java-Conquer-Server-master, and Redux-Conquer-Online-Server-master. I even downloaded ready-made clients and tried to modify the connection server only by hacking the server.data file as clients 5017, 5018, and 5095. I tried many programs to try to overcome errors. I used Conquer Loader v5.2, DB.Browser.for.SQLite-v3.13.1-win64, mysql-installer-community-5.7.44.0, SQL2022-SSEI-Eval, Visual Studio Code, and Visual Studio 2022, but there is nothing new. Every time I work on a project with the help of artificial intelligence, many errors appear and the project fails. I tried many methods, but there is no good or progress. I really want help. I don't know if I will find anyone who can provide me with the help I need.

Generative AI isn't a teacher or a programmer. It's not going to create a "Conquer Offline" project for you.
