ALClient README

NOTE: This code is very much a work in progress. Things will quickly change, and your code will likely break between changes.

---

This is a node client for the game Adventure Land - The Code MMORPG. It's 99% custom code that seems much more efficient than running the code in-game, or using the game's official CLI.

This code is NOT a 1-to-1 drop in, like ALBot aims to be. The code that you run in the console in game WILL NOT run as-is if you try to run your in-game code using this project.

Requirements

• Node
  • Tested with 16.5, but some earlier versions will most likely work, too.

Basic Usage

For Beginners:

1. Install the latest version of node.
2. Create a new folder for your project
3. Run npm init and enter prompts. Check out this link for more information.
4. If you are using Typescript, which is strongly recommended, install it by running npm install typescript. Save your files as .ts files instead of .js files.
5. If you are using Typescript, build your code by running npx tsc.

Notes:

In your tsconfig.json, make sure "esModuleInterop": true is set.

In your package.json, make sure "type": "module" is set.

General Steps:

1. Install the package using npm install alclient.
2. Add a credentials.json file that looks like this:

{
    "email": "[e-mail]",
    "password": "thisisnotmyrealpasswordlol"
}

You can also optionally add a Mongo URI to track various data with a mongo database.

{
    "email": "[e-mail]",
    "password": "thisisnotmyrealpasswordlol",
    "mongo": "mongodb://localhost:27017/alclient"
}

3. Copy and run this example script that prepares the pathfinder, logs in, moves your character around to different maps, then disconnects.

import AL from "alclient"

async function run() {
    await Promise.all([AL.Game.loginJSONFile("../credentials.json"), AL.Game.getGData()])
    await AL.Pathfinder.prepare(AL.Game.G)

    const merchant = await AL.Game.startMerchant("earthMer2", "ASIA", "I")
    console.log("Moving to main")
    await merchant.smartMove("main")
    console.log("Moving to cyberland")
    await merchant.smartMove("cyberland")
    console.log("Moving to halloween")
    await merchant.smartMove("halloween")

    merchant.disconnect()
}
run()

Notable differences from 'native' Adventure Land code.

1. Most actions like move() are on the Character in alclient.

import AL from "alclient"

async function run() {
    await AL.Game.loginJSONFile("../credentials.json")
    const ranger = await AL.Game.startRanger("earthiverse", "US", "I")

    while (true) {
        await ranger.move(50, 50)
        await ranger.move(50, -50)
        await ranger.move(-50, -50)
        await ranger.move(-50, 50)
    }
}
run()

2. Some functions are renamed, most notably attack() is basicAttack().

import AL from "alclient"

async function run() {
    await Promise.all([AL.Game.loginJSONFile("../credentials.json"), AL.Game.getGData()])
    await AL.Pathfinder.prepare(AL.Game.G)
    const ranger = await AL.Game.startRanger("earthiverse", "US", "I")

    await ranger.smartMove("hen")

    while (true) {
        if (ranger.canUse("attack") && ranger.isPVP()) {
            // We can attack players
            for (const [, player] of ranger.players) {
                if (AL.Tools.distance(ranger, player) > ranger.range) continue // Too far to attack

                // We found a player to attack!
                await ranger.basicAttack(player.id)
                break
            }

        }
        if (ranger.canUse("attack")) {
            for (const [, entity] of ranger.entities) {
                if (AL.Tools.distance(ranger, entity) > ranger.range) continue // Too far to attack
                
                // We found an entity to attack!
                await ranger.basicAttack(entity.id)
                break
            }
        }
    }
}
