After a ridiculous amount of wasted time, the server now loads ICE archives and fetches files from them. Next step is to tie it into the other systems that already read client files.

It's not stopped anyone from getting in. You even stored the damn keys alongside the files.

Just stoooooooop okay I'm going to bed finally

SEGA please stop customizing Blowfish in such a way as to destroy the cryptographic guarantees only for the sake of obscurity

Just stop

Please

it's obnoxious that Recaptcha forces you to submit image recognition samples to the Google AI hivemind just because you block tracking.

This RE effort is beginning to look very promising... In fact, it's beginning to look like we might be able to recover Emergency Quests that have been kept out of rotation for years. #PSO2

Okay, executing Lua bytecode from the client packages and able to derive a list of all actor classes with their ICE sources, which will be used to unpack the .lve files for all enemies for stat calculation.

Lua in Java is very silly. #PSO2

Java not having unsigned integers is the worst fucking design decision.

I've all but confirmed that the client has the entire spawn tables for every area and quest in the game. This is really silly. #PSO2

me, before seeing the API: wow Java NIO 2 looks neat maybe I should implement fpk and ice archives as custom fs providers

me, after seeing the API: I love pain and also suffering

#PSO2

Spawned some broken bosses today. Parsed enemy base stats, wrote a rudimentary damage function, synchronized enemy state with players in room. Gotta parse every enemy's ICE from the client to get per-enemy stat factors. No idea what the stats are other than damage and hp. #PSO2

I'm so hungry man, I could eat the rich
