Since the game is no longer on the Steam store you can use steam://install/1316610 to install it. As the official server has been shut down my my custom loader is required. You can find it in the release section of this repository; simply unzip it to the game directory.
Requires Node.js 16.16.x
git clone https://github.com/mindphluxnet/C19ClickerServerEmulator
cd C19ClickerServerEmulator
npm install
You can then start the server using
npm start
or, for testing purposes, with nodemon active (this also wipes the database)
npm wipestart
or
npm devstart
with nodemon active without wiping the database.
- Originally the game only added Resistance to Virus (RTV) when the user was actively playing, which feels wrong for a clicker game. Since there's a server involved anyway I've patched the game to use the server-side RTV value only. The server now also adds 1 RTV for every 5 seconds the player was offline. This makes the game much more playable.
- User accounts: working. New users get a new account created automatically. Now uses Steam to get an UDID.
- User login: working.
- User rename: working.
- Leaderboards: working so far but probably needs more development.
- Categories: more or less working, but unlocks aren't functioning properly and numbers are made up.
- Tasks: working.
- Cards: partially working, but missing data.
- Advancement: working.
- Persistence: mostly working except for task progress.
Most features are working now to a point where the game is playable. However, due to missing information the numbers are likely all wrong and balancing is off. Unfortunately the original developer doesn't react to emails so there's no way to get the missing info.
