Docs

The documentation in this repository consists mostly of guides and tutorials about how to use nrelay and its components, and how to create plugins. All of the docs can be found in the docs folder.

There is also extensive inline API documentation, which can be viewed on the docs website.

Install

Prerequisites

Make sure you have Nodejs installed before running nrelay.

1. Install the nrelay cli.

npm install -g nrelay-cli

2. Create a new nrelay project.

nrelay new my-new-project

Setup

When you create a new nrelay project, you will need to set up your accounts.json file. It has been generated for you, but currently only contains an example account.

The current contents of the file will resemble the following.

[
  {
    "alias": "Main Client",
    "guid": "[email protected]",
    "password": "password10",
    "serverPref": "Australia"
  }
]

To use your own account, simply replace the guid and password values with your own account's email and password.

If you have multiple accounts which you want to run at the same time, you can add them by duplicating the segment in the curly braces { ... }. E.g.

[
  {
    "alias": "Main Client",
    "guid": "[email protected]",
    "password": "SecretPassWord11",
    "serverPref": "AsiaSouthEast"
  },
  {
    "alias": "Secondary Client",
    "guid": "[email protected]",
    "password": "Password22",
    "serverPref": "USSouth"
  }
]

Using proxies

nrelay supports the use of SOCKSv4, SOCKSv4a, and SOCKSv5 proxies to route client connections through. Proxies can be added in the account config as a property of the account

{
    "alias": "Main Client",
    "guid": "[email protected]",
    "password": "SecretPassWord11",
    "serverPref": "AsiaSouthEast",
    "proxy": {
        "host": "127.0.0.1",  // The ip of the proxy.
        "port": 8080,         // The port of the proxy. Use a number here, e.g. 8080 not "8080".
        "type": 5,            // The type of the proxy. Use 5 for SOCKSv5 and 4 for SOCKSv4 or SOCKSv4a.
        "userId": "username", // The username for the proxy, if one is required.
        "password": "secret"  // The password for the proxy, if one is required.
    }
}

If a proxy is specified, nrelay will route all traffic including the initial web request to get the character lists. Because of this, there may be greater delays when using proxies. The proxy a client is using can also be changed during runtime by using the Client.setProxy(proxy: IProxy): void method.

Using the Local Server

nrelay has a built in Local Server which can be used to transfer data between nrelay and another process, such as KRelay. If you are interested in using the local server, take a look at the local server guide.

Run

After setting up the accounts.json file, nrelay is ready to go. To run nrelay, use the command nrelay run in the console. If you have setup your accounts.json properly (and used the correct credentials) you should see an output similar to this

C:\Documents> nrelay
[17:25:23 | NRelay]           Starting...
...
[17:25:26 | Main Client]      Authorized account
[17:25:26 | Main Client]      Starting connection to AsiaSouthEast
[17:25:26 | Main Client]      Connected to server!
[17:25:26 | Main Client]      Connecting to Nexus
[17:25:27 | Main Client]      Connected!

The alias property in the account config is optional. If one is not specified, the log will use a censored email instead

[17:25:26 | f***@e***.com]    Authorized account
[17:25:26 | f***@e***.com]    Starting connection to AsiaSouthEast
[17:25:26 | f***@e***.com]    Connected to server!

Command line arguments

There are several command line arguments which can be provided when starting nrelay to change the behaviour.

--version or -v

This will print the nrelay version number to the console and exit.

--debug

This will start nrelay in debug mode. Debug mode provides a higher detail of logging. It is not recommended to use debug mode unless you are experiencing errors and need more info.

--no-update

This will stop nrelay from checking for updates when it starts.

--no-log

This will stop nrelay from writing to the log file.

--no-plugins

This will stop nrelay from loading any plugins.

--force-update

This will force nrelay to download the latest client and assets.

--update-from="filepath"

This will update the packet ids using the client at the given filepath.

If filepath is a path to a file (e.g. C:\clients\myclient.swf), then the directory containing the swf will be used to store the decompiled scripts. If filepath is a path to a directory, (e.g. C:\clients), then nrelay will assume a file called client.swf exists in the directory, and will use the directory to store the decompiled scripts.

Please note that filepath should always be an absolute path to either a client or a directory containing a client.swf.

Examples

To start nrelay without checking for updates or log file writing, use

nrelay run --no-update --no-log

To start nrelay and force an update, use

nrelay run --force-update

To print the version number, use

nrelay -v

Build

Whenever any changes are made to the plugins, they will need to be recompiled in order for the changes to take effect.

To recompile the plugins simply use

nrelay build
