Artemis Cosmos 3.0.6.2 Pre-Release

[NoseyNick]

Artemis Cosmos 3.0.6.2 Pre-Release Pre-Alpha is available! :heart_eyes:

Initial discoveries:

• Cosmos server listens on UDP ports 2010 and 3100.
• Our usual netcat captures are not going to work, will presumably require going back to tcpdump (which does UDP, yes, despite the name).
• This is probably a very different protocol! Many doc updates likely!
• I think the intention is that if we want to integrate "other stuff" With Artemis Cosmos, we can now do so using the built-in Python runtime, not reverse-engineer the network protocols and write unofficial clients, however there are several good use-cases where unofficial clients may still have value, EG some of the known Artemis 2 use-cases:
  • automation / bots to control the server itself (this may be better done with Python now?)
  • recording and archiving games for future archaeology
  • driving giant LED display boards with extra ship status screens
  • special-purpose unofficial clients like the Android Artemis Messenger
  • unofficial servers
  • proxies

Let the discussion commence! :grinning: NN

I can also see a use case for creating custom hardware controls (input as opposed to display mentioned above).

Also, It should be noted that 3.0.7.0 was shared on the forums: https://artemis.forumchitchat.com/post/artemis-cosmos-3-0-6-6-prerelease-12579183?pid=1334990512

The UDP port 3100 traffic is the same server discovery protocol from 2.7 The UDP port 2010 has the real traffic, I've done some initial tests, (up to but not including console choice) found some patterns. https://github.com/aiden-w-135752345/Cosmos-protocol I'm going to continue identifying packet types in the order they appear.
