Does this actually work?

[Luka967]

@Megabyte918 Your profile pics keep scaring me

[ptoki]

It does not work now on my end. I have deleted repo and cloned it again. Browser just waits at dimmed stage, no info about connecting, no errors. There is network traffic to agario port on my server.

Anyone succesfully runs Ogar again?

Use this extension in chrome and you can connect again with the same url (use bagario edited from me, just removed bagar stuff on screen. If you want original, then go to chrome extension store and download bagar.io it's free) http://www.mediafire.com/download/dsmn2j9hi3lj1d6/Ogar+client.rar

Moneyclip lied. The packets are different

[EnTerr]

They did not lie - they just don't give a flying frack that private servers will have to adapt to their undocumented changes in protocols 6/7, even if compression/encryption layer is turned off.

What protocol version does MiniClit's client send to Ogar servers now? (from packet 254)

[Barbosik]

Megabyte918, ptoki, Andrews54757: they didn't lie, it works well, I'm using it.

There is just need a small fix in ogar server, because cell update packet structure were changed for a little, now it more clear. See details here: https://github.com/issy123/agario-protocol/issues/15

[Barbosik]

EnTerr: it sends version 7. But for private servers it's the same as version 6.

Here is the first messages which is sent by the client to private server at connection begin:

FE 07 00 00 00 
FF 00 00 00 00 

[ptoki]

Barbosik, so basically which file needs to be changed to apply this? Or maybe it is already implemented now?

[EnTerr]

@Barbosik - you mean Agar.io client now always sends 7 as protocol version - but if connecting to Agar.io servers applies encryption and does not encrypt if connecting via ?ip=... ?

There might be more things to change - albeit easy. I am referring to using UTF8 instead of UTF16 for strings in other packages.

Can someone help me understand this issue and what I need to do to fix it so that I can run a private server again. Thanks.

@Primeau2011 u cant. just wait for them to implement new packets

[Barbosik]

EnTerr: yes, the new client always sends protocol version 7. But if you connect with ?ip=xx, then encryption is not applied.

[Barbosik]

ptoki: you need to fix src\packet\UpdateNodes.js in order to support new cell update record structure.

Also there is need to fix src\packet\UpdateLeaderboard.js in order to support utf8 names in the leaderboard, but actually it should works without changes in this file, but leaderboard will show garbage.

Also there is need to fix function handleMessage in the file src\PacketHandler.js in order to support utf8 string for join command (look for "case 0" in the switch statement).

That's it

[Barbosik]

Here is a fix for ogar which works for both protocols 5 and 7 automatically: https://github.com/OgarProject/Ogar/issues/588

it also includes automatic switch between UTF8 and Unicode strings depends on client requested protocol.

I tested it with the new client - works good :)

[Barbosik]

Primeau2011: your error means that something is wrong in a cell update message.

[Primeau2011]

I appreciate all who are constantly working hard to figure out how to make private servers working again. I am a developer in Microsoft products and can figure out node.js. However wireshark and decoding packets is not my area. If there is something I can do to contribute then please let me know otherwise I will be keeping up with the threads and awaiting an update to source code. Thank you all and keep up the hard work.
