0.9.0-alpha - 2025-06-01

Initial alpha release of the RS2V Custom Server.

Added

Core Engine

  • C++17 modular server architecture with clear separation of concerns

  • Multi-threaded design with main thread, network I/O thread, telemetry thread, and configurable thread pool

Networking

  • High-performance UDP networking stack with custom protocol implementation
  • UE3-compatible "bunch" protocol for seamless game client integration
  • Packet serialization with configurable compression (zlib when available)
  • Reliable and unreliable transport modes
  • Client connection management with heartbeat monitoring and idle timeout
  • Rate limiting and DDoS protection
  • Dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 support

Game Systems

  • Complete game server lifecycle management (GameServer)
  • Player management with connection tracking, team assignment, and statistics (PlayerManager)
  • Team management with auto-balancing and configurable faction relationships (TeamManager)
  • Round management with configurable game modes and win conditions (RoundManager)
  • Map management with rotation, hot-reload, and voting system (MapManager)
  • Five built-in game modes: Conquest, Elimination, Capture the Flag, Hot Zone, Domination
  • Eight built-in maps: Carcassonne, Hill 400, Rubber Plant, Hacienda, Hill 937, Village, Skirmish Field, Coastal Assault
  • Eight weapon definitions with full attribute configuration
  • Configurable gameplay settings (friendly fire, respawn delay, timers, score limits, vehicles)

Physics

  • Physics engine with rigid body dynamics and collision detection
  • Broad-phase (sweep and prune) and narrow-phase (SAT) collision detection
  • Vehicle physics simulation
  • Projectile physics with trajectory calculation

Security

  • Multi-layer anti-cheat system with EAC emulation (safe/emulate/off modes)
  • Steam authentication integration with session ticket validation
  • Custom fallback authentication token system
  • Movement validation and behavioral analysis
  • Ban management (temporary and permanent bans by SteamID)
  • IP blacklisting with CIDR range support
  • RCON (Remote Console) with password authentication
  • Input validation and packet integrity checking
  • HMAC-based packet integrity verification
  • Rate limiting per client

Telemetry & Monitoring

  • Telemetry subsystem with multiple reporter backends
  • Prometheus metrics endpoint (HTTP)
  • File-based metrics reporting (JSON)
  • In-memory circular buffer for real-time metrics
  • System metrics (CPU, memory, network utilization)
  • Application metrics (player count, tick rate, packet loss)
