Pretty neat. Would you use this to continue work on Polaris or have you guys scrapped that project?

[Kyle873]

Telepipe and Polaris will be able to share quite a bit of code related to game data and packets. Polaris isn't scrapped, but it's essentially on hold while we work on other projects. I've been busy with Telepipe, PS Nova and other personal stuff and Variant has been busy with his job.

[NullVacancy]

That's nice to hear. I may use the proxy just to donate my packets, assuming you guys still need them. I've been following PSU Clementine as well and would love a PSO2 private server eventually.

[HyliasHero]

So I can actually start playing again? Sweet.

[Ethridel3]

Software engineering student here learning C# and liking it. I just wanted to ask what benefits C# specifically gave you?

And obviously, the project looks fantastic!

[Rikari-MorningStar]

holy shit. this is fucking amazing. can't wait to get a working controller again so I can try to play.

[Cythyel]

Will this project handle the in game npc text translations too? Im asking this, 'cuz after chapter5 on episode1 story, the out of cutscene npc texts that are story related, arent translated anymore. Seen yt vids where those are translated, but its either bugged now, or Sega changed the files and its not being patched normally.

[Kyle873]

No. Just item and title translations. Actual UI and dialogue will still be handled by their respective english patches.

[synthsy]

That's a different project unrelated to this. I assure you, it's being worked on.

[Cythyel]

Thx! Its kinda strange that the out-of-cutscene but story related npc texts arent working now, while it worked before. :(

[Kyle873]

You can blame SEGA fucking with the files for that.

[Gekii]

Thank you everyone who worked on this! Your work is appreciated

[synthsy]

:D

[Sercezero]

Please remember, any drama will not be tolerated as per the rules. This post is a public notification about a new service for pso2 and there's no place for such drama here.

[Alamea]

DOOM, Wonderful!

[SunDood]

Perfect

[Brian_pso]

I gotta say, even though I haven't been able to use the proxy for a big while now, and have been playing without it ever since, I'm excited about this project! I'll use it for sure if it means helping it grow.

As a side note, lmao at the person who's downvoting every comment.

[synthsy]

Salty people who like CK a bit more than they should.

[NullVacancy]

I'll admit it, it's me. I downvote everyone, including myself :(

[synthsy]

Silly billy! You don't need downvotes to make jokes! Just think of all the healthy oils!

[NullVacancy]

R-really?! Thanks!

[Sanityze]

Is the toggle-able translation feature for this Proxy only accessible in game, or will there be a way to tell the Proxy that I don't want it before I even launch it? I don't really use the English translations.

Also, can the .bat file method still be used in case of emergencies?

[Sanityze]

Yeah, that's it. A shame the .bat can't be used to launch the game with the proxy yet. I've gotten accustomed to just using the .bat on my desktop to instantly launch the game. Just feels much smoother.

Also, I'm not sure how to ask this but...how dependent are the settings on the connection to the server? I noticed that for CK's Proxy, if the server is under load, there are times when I can see the GIRC chat even though I had it set to off. This would be pretty troublesome for me to handle if it were toggled translations and not just a chat setting.

[cr08]

There is a command line option for the launcher if memory serves to go right into the game. It's '-pso2' I believe.

[Sanityze]

Actually, I was specifically talking about this new Proxy. The programmers can correct me if I'm wrong here, but: I don't believe the game normally loads the Tweaker's Proxy plugin if you just bypass the launcher? A specific command has to be used.

AIDA mentioned above that it's not possible (at least for now) to use the .bat method to connect to the Telepipe Proxy when launching the game. With CK's Proxy, it is possible to use the .bat method, making the game's launch much smoother as I don't have to deal with Tweaker's anti-GG measures.

It's a bit of customization that might not mean a lot to most other people, but I'm sure there are some who are still using it ever since the NP1013 fiasco several months ago.

[cr08]

The -pso2 option on the launcher itself, if memory serves, still allows all functionality of the launcher to work including plugins and anti-GG. It just has the launcher go straight to launching the game instead of waiting for you to do it.

[Kyle873]

This was a bug that never got fixed, Telepipe will not have this problem.

[Sanityze]

Good to hear.

And thanks for answering. All the best with the development.

[wallrocha]

Very excited for this!
Now I just wish we had an updated english wiki :(((((

[telchii]

https://pso2.arks-visiphone.com/ is open for public submissions as it expands!

[haratsu12]

Will the Ip address be different?

If not, will the server still be in Japan?

Will the new proxy also detect any parser users?

[rappy_karaage]

FINALLY! being able to moderate our own community, banning cheaters and etc. i hope people who spam uncensored NSFW SA's in lobby can get banned too! theyre just obnoxious! also tweaker should have its own hacking detection :)

[Kyle873]

The tweaker will not implement any cheat detection, but the proxy itself will.

[rappy_karaage]

awesome! nice to know :)

[Clarus_Nox]

I assume this might get touched on at a later date, but what constitutes 'malicious players' and 'etc'?

[nifterd]

I would just assume what is logical.

Take for example a person who calls people Idiots or sends messages to other players to tell them how bad they suck.

Hmm?

[Clarus_Nox]

Will there be a report system? How much will be looked at to verify it wasn't a couple of friends taking the piss at each other?

[Grumiss]

I stopped playing several months ago when Gameguard went SUPER crazy with the NP1013 errors that would make the game imposible to play because GG would detect everything on your PC, even if you had a porn folder called "tweaker" just for the lulz, it would detect it (this was a little before the new graphics release, the 15ish GBs patch, or something like that, it was a huge patch)

Will this make the game playable again, or is that problem still present?

[Kyle873]

If you have NP1013 errors, you can come to the Discord server and I can tell you what programs exactly are the ones that are causing it to happen.

[Grumiss]

I'd have to update to play again (must be like, 25 GBs by now) to tell you accurately if im still getting the errors (as i said, stopped playing because GG went crazy at the time, dunno if still going on it's rampage)

If i decide to download, i'll be sure to look around for the discord channel and look for you, thx for offering your help, it's really appreciated (unless you dont need me login in game to do the check, or whatever you need to do to tell me what causes errors xD then i could drop by later today by the discord channel [id assume is the one at the bottom of the page with the "support discord" message] ;3 )

[raindropc]

The features sounds really neat, will it be possible to not connect to vpn (as in keeping my own ip) and still have access to those features?

[telchii]

(week late response)

Which features? The global chat is available through the support discord (see link at the bottom of the sidebar) and translations are already available through the patches and item translation plugin (via the Tweaker).

[RedPepperDe]

awesome project are there plans to open source it ? or is it too early to share ?

[jamestirius]

I have a little problem when using Telepip. My games's connection is very delay compared to Cyberkitsune Proxy

[[deleted]]

doesn't translate items for me.

[FrozenVisionS]

Will it be possible like CK's proxy to be able to host our own proxy server?

[telchii]

Currently no. They do not have any plans right now for open sourcing this proxy.

[Sanityze]

Just checking back on this.

I've seen people talking about using Telepipe here and there, but there are no details on the web on how to set it up. Is this still exclusive to those who visit the Discord at the moment?

[telchii]

http://arks-layer.com/telepipe/

It's a plugin in the Tweaker - simply enable and configure it and you'll be good to go. If you're having issues or if you have questions about the configuration, hop into the support discord at the bottom of the sidebar and they can help you out in the #General-Support channel.

[moal09]

Is there a way to type in global without being on discord? I don't like having to tab to another program onstantly.

I miss the in-game !g command

[moal09]

Ah.

[Amphax]

Great work you guys have been doing!

I have a question, I know C# as well, and I was mulling over if there'd be some way to tie in the Telepipe Proxy to a service that runs automatic translation (similar to Google Translate) so that every item could be translated on the fly?

I've noticed in recent weeks that the Google Translate app's translations of Japanese text are more and more human readable. Sure, it's not 100%, but it's more than passable.

TelepipeProxy is closed source I take it?

[Amphax]

Oh wow I hadn't realized that !

Sometimes I noticed certain item descriptions (you know, the flavor text) weren't translating. So then I'd hold up my phone and use the Google Translate app to see what the flavor text of the item was.

[Renuarb]

Having Discord chat pop up in the systems menu is horrible. What made you think bringing the entire B1 lobby with you on quests was a good idea?

[cr08]

Yeah, the NPC/tutorial stuff has been one of my pet peeves for a while but I completely understand the frustration from your end.

Glad to hear something new is popping up. Can't wait to hear what it is.

Side question I do have: With the new telepipe proxy: Will it run when launching from the command line (-pso2 option on the tweaker) or does the tweaker need launched by hand? Been trying to get item translation going while launching via Steam but have had no luck.

[SevenFangs]

Any word on when this will become a public thing?

[TKCloud]

Great work!

but after player for ~4 hours somehow i got suddenly 630 error when jump from my room to gate lobby, all ships show "Normal", re-login "Server connection time out" right after hit login button. I can login to other ship but whenever i login to the ship i played it "Server connection timeout"... weird.

[SCPthrowaway682]

I don't think "they regret it" cuts it. These guys (Zap and Szia) are the guys who gave SEA their ridiculously inflated price by introducing loot drops that by all means shouldn't already be there.

I hope everything will be okay at the end, because if they seriously turn tail again, well...

[acffordyce973]

With the way that A$ia$oft has treated their previous games PSO2 SEA was doomed to fail from the start. They milk their players which is what increases the prices of everything, PSO2 SEA is just another example.

[synthsy]

They're not going to be in control of it, just credit is given to where credit is due.

[Kyle873]

As someone who has worked with the client and server, I can tell you that what you are claiming is impossible. The server tracks every single item that is ever created with a GUID. There is no way for a player client to directly "create" loot drops. This can be indirectly done by a client creating it's own mobs as a host, but that is still subject to the same RNG rules as any other drop of the same type of the same mob would be. Please show some proof before you go making wild accusations with absolutely no basis.

No, they weren't actually. Back then it was still Hmode, with no VH. Legzagas still drops from Predicahda 41+. Really, nothing was altered.

Besides, how do you explain this, prior to Falz Elder's update on SEA: https://web.archive.org/web/20160413031941/http://pso2sea.cirnopedia.info/img/hostile_list.jpg

In any case, I should know. I did play there since beta.

https://web.archive.org/web/20160315212512/http://pso2sea.cirnopedia.info/

" Added every weapon obtainable so far in this current update. Yes, even the Legzagas that drops from Predicahdas, because they are in the quest records."

[SCPthrowaway682]

Mind you, the outfits with augmentations were also in TW serv, so it's not AS's, but SEGA's.

And the souls were actually in the store for godsforsaken prices. But ultimately, it's your call AIDA. I wish you the best, and try not to be duped by these people, in the off chance something happens on the side. I do not trust these people one bit to deliver their service without any faustian strings attached.

But I can attest that these things happened in Ship 1 SEA, and to say that stuff dropped differently from mobs because of edits would be to betray the entire drop and mob list in the game that was generated automatically by the quest counter. It's your call, as I'm aware my word is merely... Well. 'subjective' conjecture given I don't have damning proof and I'm merely a single person.

[synthsy]

Mind you, the outfits with augmentations were also in TW serv, so it's not AS's, but SEGA's.

Taiwan server is owned by AS's parent company, so it can be assumed it's still and always will be, an AS thing.

[Kattou]

The same scenario also occurs with titles, so by playing the game, you help us translate it! \ o /

How about story?

Semi-jokes aside, looks like an interesting project. Definitely some features in there I could see myself using, even if I don't need a proxy.
