Smash Hit Ad Server

This is a custom reimplementation of the Smash Hit ad server that can serve ads to properly modified clients.

Running

1. Configure the ad server in adserver_config.json (if not using default): * Add the revision property (integer number) OR set forceupdate to true. * Set the name of the folder for the adverts (defaults to default if not added).
2. Create new adverts (if not using defaults): * Create a png image and put it in {folder}/ads.png. * Create a UI XML file and put it in {folder}/ads.xml. * Note: You can refer to the examples in the examples folder.
3. Run the server using python ./adserver.py.

Configuring clients

To configure clients, you need to remove anti-tamper protection from the lib{GAME NAME}.so files, then find and replace the string http://mediocre.se/smashhit/content/ with the string of your webserver name.

Note: The name string can't be longer than the exsiting string and must end with a NUL byte.

Notes

• The hardest part is more likely to be modifying the clients to work.
• You can set SERVER_PORT in adsever.py to the port you want to use. It is 8000 by default.
• This could also theoretically serve ads to modified Beyondium and PinOut clients since they use the same ad server.
• You can edit the configuration without restarting the server and it will be used.
