Game Server Protocol Overview - themeldingwars/Documentation GitHub Wiki
Ok so this is to be a semi brief overview of the networking protocol and related systems as we currently understand them.
This will just be a brief overview of this part, there is more to this that can be covered later.
The initial steps are done over HTTPS to a web server.
- User sends a log in request with user name / password
- If authenticated the web server sends back a character list, this gets you to the choose a character screen.
- When the user clicks the "Enter World" button another HTTPS request is made to get an "Oracle Ticket"
- The server sends back an oracle ticket like below.
"matrix_url": "127.0.0.1",
"ticket": "A base64 encoded data string, contents not known as of yet",
"datacenter": "localhost",
"operator_override": {
"ingame_host": "https://indev.themeldingwars.com/ingame_host",
"clientapi_host": "https://indev.themeldingwars.com/clientapi"
},
"session_id": "8360c86c-a3d0-11e4-9e16-c074c1266b6d",
"hostname": "localhost",
"country": "GB"The key bit in the response is the matrix_url field.
It contains the IPV4 Address which the game client will now start sending packets to via UDP on port 25000
Note: We have a simple test web API up for local server testing at https://indev.themeldingwars.com . This server just returns an Oracle ticket pointed to 127.0.0.1:25000
To use it, open your Firefall.ini in the games install and add
[Config]
OperatorHost= "indev.themeldingwars.com"
The following sections describe how the connection to the game server is established and how it is utilized (eg. Channels, see more of that below).
Having received an IPV4 address to connect to, the client goes ahead and establishes a UDP based connection using port 25000.
On this connection, client and server communicate through a custom protocol which requires a handshake after the connection was established.
The handshake messages use Big Endian byte order.
The command format for these handshake messages is:
[uint] [char[4]]
---------- -----------
SocketID Id for msg
00 00 00 00 50 4F 4B 45 For the matrix handshake the socket id is always 0.
The first packet that the client sends a POKE message to the server to start off the connection.
(You can use matrix_connectiontest ip in the console to test the handshaking and a simple connection)
The flow is
[Client] [Server]
POKE ->
<- HEHE
KISS ->
<- HUGG(Yes they really are called HEHE, KISS, POKE and I love it :D) (and aperantly a hug comes after the kiss)
Below are the packets send and received as part of the handshake.
[uint] [char[4]] [uint]
---------- ----------- ----------------

---------- -----------
SocketID Id for msg
00 00 00 00 41 42 52 54Used to end a connection
After a successful handshake the client will then start to communicate to the game server on the port that was assigned in the above handshake. eg the game will start sending packets to 127.0.0.1:53861 and the client will receive packet on port that the first matrix handshake message was received from.
All packets to and from the server start with a uint for the socket id that was assigned from the handshake. (Again if the id is 0 is a matrix handshake message).
Below is the packet header:
[uint]
----------
SocketIDFollowing a non 0 socket id, the packet can contain multiple messages. Each message starts with a message header of two bytes.
Below is the message header:
[2bits] [2bits] [1bit] [11bits]
--------- ------------ ------------ ------------
Channel Resend Count Is Splitted LengthThe packet and message headers are written in Big Endian byte order.
UDP packets have a max size and so if a message being sent is bigger than this size it will have to be split across multiple packets.
If a packet is splitted then the Is Splited will be 1, split packets are per channel and not global across them.
If a channel comes across a split packet then that stream is blocked until all the all the fragments for it are received and can be assembled back into the full packet.
If a packet is marked as splitted the data for that should be held in a buffer and the next message with the sequence number directly after should be appended. This process should be repeated until the next packet in sequence that doesn't have the Is Splitted set is encountered, this marks the end of that split packet.
All the buffered packet data up until but not including this should be reassembled to form the full packet data.
There are 4 different channels that a message can get sent over Channel indicates what one the message is using.
Channel 1 and 2 are reliable while channel 0 and 3 are unreliable.
We need to branch the logic for parsing a packet here to handle the channel types.
For these channels, following the message header we have a ushort sequence number. This sequence number if written in Big Endian byte order.
The sequence number is per channel and per direction. eg sending on channel 1 will have a different sequence number than sending on channel 2.
Since these are both reliable channels, messages must be acknowledge as received by sending the matching Ack message on channel 0.
If the Ack is not received by the client, it will resend the message. We need to check the Resend Count, if this is greater than 0 than we need to xor the data to get the correct values. and ofc its not a static value to xor against, we use the Resend Count to index a preset list of xor values.
Below is the list of xor values to use.
byte[] xors = new byte[] { 0x00, 0xFF, 0xCC, 0xAA };eg if the Resend Count is 1 then we would XOR all the data after the Sequence Number with 0xFF (xors[Resend Count])
The next part of the header is common for both of these channels.
[byte] [byte[7]] [byte]
------------- --------- ------------
Controller ID Entity ID Msg IDThe gss header and all data following is written in Little Endian byte order.
Note: Entities are adressed with an 8 byte guid. The first byte is overwritten with a typecode (Controller Id) to address the message to different views belonging to this entity.
The data after this header is packet specific. We can route to the correct handler with the controller ID and the Msg ID Note: At this point the data here is very similar to that contained in the replay files
Below is the way to route the packet handling:

Channel 0 seems to be for protocol level control commands such as ACK's, NACK's and time updates.
After the previous packet header channel 0 only adds a byte as the message id, after this is per packet data. I won't list some of the channel 0 packet formats here to save some space.
Channel 1 just adds a byte for the message id after the previous header and everything else after that is per packet data.
These packets seem to be for the more abstarct game functions that don't directly relate to in world entitys.
Below is the packet names for each known packet:

68 matrix_fury::UpdateDevZoneInfoIf a message sent in this channel get too long and needs to be split it will instead be split up and sent in channel 2 as a reliable packet. (The client emits warning in cases like this)
Channel 3 is much like channel 2 but unreliable.
- Verify some of the assumptions that are made above, including:
-
matrix_urlalways specifies an IPV4 address and not a legitimate url - Iron out some of the smaller details, eg handling droped packets.
- Finish libary for handling the low level protocol stuff so we can focus on the packet contents and have a good framework for writing parsers for them.
- Documentation for for those packet formats.
- More tooling for exploring packet captures nicely (PacketPeep and 010 Buddy).
- Formating and feed back on restructing this so that it is easyier to read and understand.
