The world

packets6 packets

The world around the rooms: how full each room is, the shards (the worlds the server selector lists) and the server nodes they live on. Layouts are read from room/RoomXtCommManager.as, gamePlayFlow/GamePlay.as, gui/VolumeSelector.as and nodeHop/NodeHopXtCommManager.as in the decompiled client (deploy 1829).

Hearing and sending packets

What the game sends is heard on phantom.packets.client, and what the server sends on phantom.packets.server. watch hears a packet after it has gone through; on hears it first and may change or drop it; send sends one to that end. See Packets.

Overview

Packet	Command	Way	What it is
RoomCountRequest	rc	game → server	The player asks how many of their buddies are in each land.
RoomCounts	rc	server → game	The server says how many of the player’s buddies are in each land.
ShardListRequest	rm	game → server	The player asks for the list of shards.
ShardList	rm	server → game	The server lists the shards on each server node.
NodeHopRequest	nd	game → server	The player asks to move off a server that is shutting down.
NodeHop	nd	server → game	The server names the server to move to.

RoomCountRequest

world.room-count-requestgame → serverxt · rc

Asks how many of the player's buddies are in each land (RoomXtCommManager.sendRoomCountRequest), from the world map: when it opens and every 15 seconds while it is, and only while the player has a buddy online (VolumeSelector.updateRoomCount).

Fields

Field	Type
room	number	The room the message was sent in, as the SmartFox room id; -1 when it names none.

Example

// Each time the game sends it to the server, after it has gone through.
const stop = phantom.packets.client.watch(packets.RoomCountRequest, (packet) => {
  console.log('world.room-count-request');
});

Run in Phantom

RoomCounts

world.room-countsserver → gamext · rc

How many of the player's buddies are in each land (VolumeSelector.handleRoomCountResponse), which the world map shows on the land's button. The map keeps the last count it reads for a land, so a server sends each land once.

Fields

Field	Type
rooms	RoomCount[]	Each room and how many buddies are in its land, after their count.
room	number	The room the message was sent in, as the SmartFox room id; -1 when it names none.

Example

// Each time the server sends it to the game, after it has gone through.
const stop = phantom.packets.server.watch(packets.RoomCounts, (packet) => {
  console.log(packet.rooms);
});

Run in Phantom

ShardListRequest

world.shard-list-requestgame → serverxt · rm

Asks for every shard (RoomXtCommManager.sendMoreShardRequest, from ServerSelector). The client shows the answer in the server selector, and only when that popup is open does it hold together.

Fields

Field	Type
room	number	The room the message was sent in, as the SmartFox room id; -1 when it names none.

Example

// Each time the game sends it to the server, after it has gone through.
const stop = phantom.packets.client.watch(packets.ShardListRequest, (packet) => {
  console.log('world.shard-list-request');
});

Run in Phantom

ShardList

world.shard-listserver → gamext · rm

Every shard, by node (GamePlay.showServerSelectorMore). The layout has no counts: each node's host is followed by its shards, four numbers each, until the next value that is not a number, which is the next host. The client tells them apart the same way, with isNaN(Number(value)).

Fields

Field	Type
status	number | null	Set when the server answers with a number instead of a list: 0 or below means there are no shards to show (RoomXtCommManager.roomMoreResponse). Null for a list.
nodes	ShardNode[]	Each server node and its shards, in the order sent. Empty when status is set.
room	number	The room the message was sent in, as the SmartFox room id; -1 when it names none.

Example

// Each time the server sends it to the game, after it has gone through.
const stop = phantom.packets.server.watch(packets.ShardList, (packet) => {
  console.log(packet.status, packet.nodes);
});

Run in Phantom

NodeHopRequest

world.node-hop-requestgame → serverxt · nd

Asks for a server node to move to while this one drains, when the player accepts the drain popup (NodeHopXtCommManager.sendNodeHopForDrainRequest).

Fields

Field	Type
room	number	The room the message was sent in, as the SmartFox room id; -1 when it names none.

Example

// Each time the game sends it to the server, after it has gone through.
const stop = phantom.packets.client.watch(packets.NodeHopRequest, (packet) => {
  console.log('world.node-hop-request');
});

Run in Phantom

NodeHop

world.node-hopserver → gamext · nd

The node to move to (NodeHopXtCommManager.handleNodeHopDrainResponse), which the client hands to its page to reload with (Utility.reloadSWFOrGetIp).

Fields

Field	Type
host	string	The server node to reconnect to, which the client passes to Utility.reloadSWFOrGetIp.
room	number	The room the message was sent in, as the SmartFox room id; -1 when it names none.

Example

// Each time the server sends it to the game, after it has gone through.
const stop = phantom.packets.server.watch(packets.NodeHop, (packet) => {
  console.log(packet.host);
});
