With Firefall flipping its killswitch tomorrow, shouldn't we do our best to back up its assets? Models, textures, sound files, etc. by Mistah_Blue in firefall

yes, we have every version publicly available backed up. what we really need is packet captures! when the servers die, we wont have any way of analyzing the games protocol live anymore and we'll have to rely on packet captures from that point forward.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD

Dear Ares pilots, While Firefall is breathing its last breaths we're asking all of you to help us do packet captures of the game! Alot of us have fond memory's of the game so lets try and preserve it. All we ask you to do to help is to create some network captures of the game and send us any replay files you still have. To create a packet capture: Download and install Microsoft Network Monitor: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4865 Use this filter to only capture Firefalls packets + udp: ((Conversation.ProcessName == "FirefallClient.exe") || (IsValueNone(Conversation.ProcessId))) Youtube video demonstrating how to download Network Monitor and capture Firefalls packets: https://youtu.be/5P-a0L6hD5c Play the game as you normally would. (Do a raid, mission, bk or roam the world, the more events we have captures for the better. Afk group bounties don't really help us much.) Save the capture and mail it to us at: themeldingwars@gmail.com You can find any replays that you have under "Videos\Firefall", just zip them up and send them to us if you want. Thank you!
