netrek-dev,

I’m working on a Swift Netrek client for the Mac.  I’m having trouble getting through the login sequence.

I’m using netrek-server-vanilla netrek-server-vanilla-2.19.0 with no active players as a test target.  In my packet traces below the server is at 192.168.0.10.

I’m able to successfully play on my test server with the MacTrek client.

Here’s a count of the packets I’ve been able to send/receive and process (not in order):

  31 "Received SP_FLAGS"
  32 "Received SP_HOSTILE"
  32 "Received SP_KILLS"
   1 "Received SP_LOGIN"
  40 "Received SP_PLANET_LOC"
  32 "Received SP_PLAYER"
  52 "Received SP_PLAYER_INFO"
  32 "Received SP_PL_LOGIN"
  32 "Received SP_PSTATUS"
   1 "Received SP_YOU"
   1 "Sending CP_FEATURE 60"
   1 "Sending CP_LOGIN 8"
   1 "Sending CP_OUTFIT 9"
   1 "Sending CP_SOCKET 27"

Here’s the end of the sequence:

...
"Received SP_LOGIN"
"Sending CP_FEATURE 60"
"Sending CP_OUTFIT 9"

No response to CP_OUTFIT.
The server logs an inability to do a DNS reverse lookup on 192.168.0.31, but I don’t think that is related (and it doesn’t stop the MacTrek Objective-C client from playing).

I presume that something is wrong with my CP_OUTFIT or CP_LOGIN, or that some other packet is required to login on the server.

Here’s my CP_FEATURE:

12:46:33.444140 IP 192.168.0.31.62943 > 192.168.0.10.netrek: Flags [P.], seq 61:149, ack 5873, win 2048, options [nop,nop,TS val 516594040 ecr 1657847922], length 88

Here’s a packet dump of a MacTrek CP_FEATURE packet.  Mine looks correct.

08:29:02.233675 IP 192.168.0.31.60481 > 192.168.0.10.netrek: Flags [P.], seq 9:97, ack 1, win 2058, options [nop,nop,TS val 501230260 ecr 1642419149], length 88

	0x0090:  0000 0000 0000 0000 0000

For reference here’s reference information on that structure:

#define CP_FEATURE      60

struct feature_cpacket { /* CP_FEATURE py-struct "!bcbbi80s" #60 */
   char                 type;
   char                 feature_type;   /* either 'C' or 'S' */
   char                 arg1,
                        arg2;
   int                  value;
   char                 name[80];
};

struct feature_var feature_vars[] = {
  {"FEATURE_PACKETS",   &F_client_feature_packets,      NULL},

Here’s my CP_OUTFIT when I try to login as fed (I also tried setting team to 0 at 0x0044 since that is what MacTrek appears to do).
12:46:34.381240 IP 192.168.0.31.62943 > 192.168.0.10.netrek: Flags [P.], seq 149:153, ack 5873, win 2048, options [nop,nop,TS val 516594969 ecr 1657848989], length 4
	0x0000:  685b 3589 0a04 1410 9fd7 77b1 0800 4500
	0x0010:  0038 0000 4000 4006 b946 c0a8 001f c0a8

	0x0030:  0800 0e95 0000 0101 080a 1eca 9d19 62d0
	0x0040:  c49d 0901 0200

Here’s info on that struct:

#define CP_OUTFIT	9		/* outfit to new ship */

struct outfit_cpacket { /* CP_OUTFIT py-struct "!bbbx" #9 */
    char type;
    char team;
    char ship;
    char pad1;
};

Could the problem be with my earlier packets?  They got responses.  But here they are for completeness:

CP_SOCKET:  (note that my client does not support UDP)

11:46:12.530856 IP 192.168.0.31.62508 > 192.168.0.10.netrek: Flags [P.], seq 1:9, ack 1, win 2058, options [nop,nop,TS val 512991468 ecr 1654229963], length 8
	0x0000:  685b 3589 0a04 1410 9fd7 77b1 0800 4500
	0x0010:  003c 0000 4000 4006 b942 c0a8 001f c0a8
	0x0020:  000a f42c 0a20 c97b 28a2 549c ed30 8018
	0x0030:  080a 67e8 0000 0101 080a 1e93 a0ec 6299
	0x0040:  8bcb 1b04 0a00 0000 8020

#define CP_SOCKET	27		/* new socket for reconnection */

struct socket_cpacket { /* CP_SOCKET py-struct "!bbbxI" #27 */
    char type;
    char version;
    char udp_version;	/* was pad2 */
    char pad3;
    u_int socket;
};


CP_LOGIN: (hardcoded to guest as the username, password and login empty)

11:46:13.591234 IP 192.168.0.31.62508 > 192.168.0.10.netrek: Flags [P.], seq 9:61, ack 5769, win 2048, options [nop,nop,TS val 512992524 ecr 1654231039], length 52
	0x0000:  685b 3589 0a04 1410 9fd7 77b1 0800 4500
	0x0010:  0068 0000 4000 4006 b916 c0a8 001f c0a8
	0x0020:  000a f42c 0a20 c97b 28aa 549d 03b8 8018
	0x0030:  0800 a51c 0000 0101 080a 1e93 a50c 6299
	0x0040:  8fff 0801 0000 6775 6573 7400 0000 0000
	0x0050:  0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
	0x0060:  0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
	0x0070:  0000 0000 0000

struct login_cpacket { /* CP_LOGIN py-struct '!bbxx16s16s16s' #8 */
    char type;
    char query;
    char pad2;
    char pad3;
    char name[NAME_LEN];
    char password[NAME_LEN];
    char login[NAME_LEN];
};


Any ideas what I need to correct or what else I need to supply to successfully login as guest?

Darrell
