Albian Warp is a community replacement for the long-defunct Docking Station multiplayer server. There is no real feasible way to reverse engineer the original server protocol as there are no packet dumps anywhere, so ham5ter came up with a workaround.
The client and the server use a very simple TCP-based cleartext protocol for communication.
Server
The server is a multi-threaded chat and messaging system that uses a MySQL database as the back-end for storing player and creature information, as well as in-game messages.
Client
The current client uses ham5ter’s CAOS.net Component to communicate with the game engine, like his CAOS Console.
