HeavenClient

HeavenClient is a custom, made-from-scratch game client.

Supported versions

• The client is currently compatible with version 83 servers.
• The client has only been tested with HeavenMS.
• Switch
• Linux

Configuration

The build can be configured by editing the MapleStory.h file. The following options are available:

• USE_ASIO: Use Asio for networking (additional dependency)
• USE_CRYPTO: Use cryptography when communicating for the server.
• USE_NX: Use NX files instead of WZ files.
• USE_DEBUG: This suppresses the generation of the Settings file

The default settings can be configured by editing the Configuration.h file. These are also generated after a game session in a file called Settings. These can be altered in the same way as Configuration.h, although, these do not persist if you delete the file, unlike Configuration.h.
