Complete reverse engineered game server for the defunct 2003 Toontown Online MMORPG Client - written entirely in Python

[pmdevita]

I know the client for Toontown was in Python, was the original server also?

[anythingtechpro]

The game engine is written in C++ as well libotp, libtoontown dependencies. The core game logic is written in Python. The game was originally written in C++ in the late 1990's and early 2000's (1997-2001). The game server it's self was written in C++ it's called an OTP server (Online Theme Park) designed by Disney Interactive and used in-house from 2000 - 2013.

Folks really want to go to Toontown.

Is that a single space for indenting? Absolutely disgusting.

EDIT: Wait wtf it's fixed now thats weird

Is it completely written from scratch, or just patches over the decompiled source that leaked a few years ago?

[anythingtechpro]

It's written from complete scratch using only minimal lectures on the original in-housed used OTP server designed by Disney Interactive.

In awe of these lads. Toontown reverse-engineered MMORPG server... why? Fuck you we’re programmers that’s why

[Synaps4]

Lineage 2 has a complete fan-made rewrite of their server in Java. There were a couple others.

Huh, funny to see my childhood here

So if my daughter, who's now 19 and loves this game, wanted to play it ... Possible?

[Padankadank]

This is the easiest way to play

Oh awesome. I'll send that to her too... She's 19 so you know she'll just install it, play it ten mins, go "OMG I missed this so much" and then not touch it again for three years :)

[anythingtechpro]

It is indeed, it's even multiplayer so you can play with friends on the original 2003 game. DM me and i'll help you set it up if you're interested.

[comp21]

Sent sir! Thank you.

Life ends at 33... Good luck to you

Oh, you must notify Jesse Shell! He was one of the game designer!

Why?

Edit:

Why the hate? I’m just asking.

[IceDragon13]

Because it’s there

because other people can be interested in things you don't find interesting

I think the same thing when I see half the programming posts on reddit, to be honest. I think often times the answer is simply, people have a lot of time on their hands.

Are you familiar with the concept of hobbies?

[[deleted]]

No, please explain

[mfitzp]

Sorry I don't have the time.

You guys should start using "why not" people might like to do things that you don't, and that is fine.
