Protocolos De Jogos PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS Unidade Curricular – Serviços Multimídia em Redes Prof. Eduardo Maroñas Monks Aluno: Marcos Borges Atividade Supervisionada Prática Remota – Análise de protocolos de jogos em rede Objetivo: Realizar a análise de protocolos de jogos em rede. Ferramentas: Wireshark, Tcpdump, Vmware Player, documentação dos jogos Introdução: Neste roteiro de laboratório, deverá ser analisado um protocolo de jogo em rede, verificando o comportamento das ações do jogo, no cliente e no servidor, com a documentação dos procedimentos para ativação do jogo em rede e análise do tráfego. Neste trabalho foi escolhido o game Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory para que seja analisado o protocolo de rede utilizado pelo game. Também será instalado um servidor do jogo para que mostrar o funcionamento do e o comportamento dos protocolos em uma rede LAN (Local). O relatório do trabalho não será mostrado de forma escalafobética e sim, em etapas. Primeiramente teremos um breve histórico do game e logo após será mostrado o relatório de instalação do servidor, os protocolos analisados com a ferramenta Wireshark e um vídeo mostrando o game em funcionamento. MARCOS BORGES 1 PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS Wolfenstein Criado em 1981 pela extinta Muse Software e prosseguido pela ID Softwares e distribuído pela Activision e a Bethesda Softworks. O game inclui aventura, sobrevivência e tiro. Primeiramente lançado para o Apple II com o nome de Castle Wolfenstein, os games são baseados na segunda guerra mundial onde temos que fugir de uma fortaleza e sabotar operações nazistas controlando um agente secreto. Logo após teve a continuação chamada Beyond Castle Wolfenstein em 1984. Em 1987 a Muse faliu e 5 anos depois a ID Software reviveu o clássico tornando em um jogo de ação, sendo o primeiro Game Shooter criado, jogo de tiro em primeira pessoa chamado de Wolfenstein 3-D.

MARCOS BORGES 2 PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS Logo após o game ser lançado para DOS em 92, veio uma série de games: Nome Plataforma/Sistema Ano Spear od Destiny MS-DOS 1992 Return to Castle Microsoft Windows, 2001 Wolfenstein Linux, OS X PlayStation 2, Xbox Wolfenstein: Enemy Microsoft Windows, Linux, 2003 Territory OS X Wolfenstein RPG Para sistemas Java ME e 2008 iOS Wolfenstein Microsoft Windows, 2009 PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 Wolfenstein: The New Microsoft Windows, 2014 Order PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One Wolfenstein: The Old Microsoft Windows, PS4 e 2015 Blood XONE Não é à toa que Doom parece muito com Wolfenstein, a engine grafica é a mesma e alguns dos produtores são da mesma equipe. O game Wolfenstein 3-D fez muito sucesso na época em que foi lançado, e logo depois do sucesso os mesmos desenvolvedores produziram os games Doom e Quake, que são jogos do estilo tiro em primeira pessoa. A partir de 2001 o game foi recriado. Fazendo um reboot da série mudando apenas algumas coisas na história e na jogabilidade. Um tempo depois, em 2003, foi lançado o Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, sendo um game multiplayer e gratuito. Já em 2009 foi lançado o Wolfenstein, onde foi melhorado os gráficos e jogabilidade, se comparando aos jogos de tiro/guerra da época. Mas o foco dos últimos jogos, além de fugir e sobreviver ao regime nazista, focam em investigações paranormais. Em 2014, Wolfenstein volta com um jogo totalmente diferente. Chamado de The New Order, ele conta um enredo diferente, onde o game se passe em 1960 em um mondo onde os nazistas ganharam a guerra. O nome do personagem jogável é William Joseph “B.J.” MARCOS BORGES 3 PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS Blazkowicz. Entre 2012 e 2014 havia rumores de que um filme do game seria produzido, talvez um filme B ou um filme com uma fotografia parecida com a do novo filme do Capitão América: O Primeiro Vingador. MARCOS BORGES 4 PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS Instalação do jogo no Windows Após fazer a instalação do game que é gratuito, vamos prosseguir com a instalação. Primeiramente ao clicar duas vezes no arquivo do jogo, vai aparecer a tela com os termos e já podemos avançar clicando em “I Agree”. Depois deixamos a seleção padrão que aparecerá para que ele instale os complementos do jogo e clicamos e next. MARCOS BORGES 5 PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS Aqui, escolhemos o diretório onde vamos instalar. E clicamos em Install. O jogo vai instalar e se conectar à internet para fazer download de alguns pacotes necessários. E esperamos ele finalizar a instalação para clicar em Close. MARCOS BORGES 6 PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS Instalação no Linux Já no servidor que vamos configurar, usamos uma máquina Debian Linux 8, no Vmware Workstation 12 Player. Com 512MB de RAM, 9GB de Hard Disk e placa de rede em Brigde. MARCOS BORGES 7 PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS Para fazer a instalação, em primeiro lugar, é preciso baixar os arquivos do jogo Enemy Territry do Linux. Também e preciso instalar o jogo inteiro para ter um servidor dedicado. Fiz a atualização do sistema e logo em seguida criei a o diretório wolfenstein para colocar os arquivos. Fiz o download do arquivo do jogo com o comando: wget http://www.unitedfederationofgaming.com/dist/wolfet/linux/et-linux-2.60.x86.zip Depois o download do patch de atualização do game com o comando: wget http://www.unitedfederationofgaming.com/dist/wolfet/linux/ET-2.60b-linux.zip MARCOS BORGES 8 PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS Instalei o unzip para descompactar os arquivos “zipados”: apt-get install unzip Depois descompactei os arquivos: unzip et-linux-2.60.x86.zip Com o comando ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run fiz a instalação dos pacotes após descompactar eles. MARCOS BORGES 9 PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS Com a barra de espaço passamos os termos até chegar na parte de aceitar. MARCOS BORGES 10 PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS Depois de aceitar a primeira parte dos termos ele nos mostra umas recomendações para uso do game. MARCOS BORGES 11 PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS Aceitamos mais um termo. MARCOS BORGES 12 PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS E aqui definimos onde vamos instalar. No meu caso presisonei enter para ele instalar no diretório padrão. MARCOS BORGES 13 PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS Logo após, aceitamos mais um termo. No diretório “etmain” em /usr/local/enemy-territory/ temos o arquivo server.cfg, nele vamos fazer algumas alterações. o No set dedicated colocamos 1 pois vamos usar o servidor primeiramente na rede local. o Em sv_maxclients coloquei apenas 10 jogadores. o Em g_password colocamos uma senha para que o acesso ao servidor não fique tão desprotegido. o Em refereePassword colocamos senha para que “árbitros” façam mudança de mapa e funções gráficas. MARCOS BORGES 14 PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS o Em rconpassword colocamos uma senha para controle remoto do servidor a partir do menu do game. o Em sv_hostname coloquei o nome do meu servidor. o Em server_motd0 colocamos um slogan ou uma frase qualquer que queiramos que apareça com mensagem do dia. Depois sair do diretório etmain e criamos um script com o seguinte comando dentro do arquivo: ./etded +set com_hunkmegs 512 +exec servercycle.cfg +set net_ip "192.168.10.5" +exec server.cfg MARCOS BORGES 15 PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS Onde, com_hunkmegs é a quantidade de memória que vou definir para consumo do servidor e, em net_ip coloque o IP da máquina Debian. Como o comando chmod + x nomedoarquivo.sh, dei permissões para ele ser executável. Depois só executamos com o comando ./nomedoarquivo.sh. Agora já podemos ver o servidor ativo. MARCOS BORGES 16 PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS Para fazer a instalação no Debian 8 Jessie 64Bits, tive que fazer a instalação de algumas dependências por causa da arquitetura x86 que é a do pacote et-linux baixado lá no início da instalação. As dependências e comandos seriam esses: dpkg --add-architecture i386 apt-get update apt-get install ia32-libs apt-get install libfooX.Y:i386 apt-get install libstdc++6:i386 libgcc1:i386 zlib1g:i386 libncurses5:i386 apt-get update MARCOS BORGES 17 PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run A porta padrão é a 27960, deixei a porta padrão, caso contrário, tenha alguma regra de firewall, podemos mudar a porta no arquivo server.cfg ou liberar no firewall. Game e configurações de jogo Ao executar o game, primeiramente aparecerá uma tela de configuração de nome, resolução, conexão de rede, brilho e mouse. Após os ajustes podemos clicar em create para prosseguir. Na tela inicial já podemos escolher a opção “play online”. MARCOS BORGES 18 PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS Na tela seguinte aparece uma lista de servidores online de várias partes do país e do mundo. Podemos fazer filtragem de servidor ou colocar um IP de um servidor. Na opção “connect to ip” clicamos e colocamos o IP do servidor criado: 192.168.1.106 E colocamos a senha que foi configurada no servidor. MARCOS BORGES 19 PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS Figure 4. Tela de loading. Como não tem outro jogador na minha rede, a única opção é ficarmos perambulando com a MARCOS BORGES 20 PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS câmera pelo mapa. E o Wireshark pegando ... Na tela do servidor que está em execução, podemos ver o servidor “em movimento” arquivando acessos do game que está em rede. Podemos ver ali arquivos relacionado ao MARCOS BORGES 21 PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS nickname que coloquei e ao IP da minha máquina Windows de IP 192.168.1.102 usando a porta 27960 e apenas 1 cliente conectado. Depois de capturar uns pacotes, entrei em um servidor qualquer que estava disponível na rede. MARCOS BORGES 22 PROTOCOLOS DE JOGOS Figure 5. Game em rede com outros jogadores.

  • Video Games and the Mobilization of Anxiety and Desire
    PLAYING THE CRISIS: VIDEO GAMES AND THE MOBILIZATION OF ANXIETY AND DESIRE BY ROBERT MEJIA DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Kent A. Ono, Chair Professor John Nerone Professor Clifford Christians Professor Robert A. Brookey, Northern Illinois University ABSTRACT This is a critical cultural and political economic analysis of the video game as an engine of global anxiety and desire. Attempting to move beyond conventional studies of the video game as a thing-in-itself, relatively self-contained as a textual, ludic, or even technological (in the narrow sense of the word) phenomenon, I propose that gaming has come to operate as an epistemological imperative that extends beyond the site of gaming in itself. Play and pleasure have come to affect sites of culture and the structural formation of various populations beyond those conceived of as belonging to conventional gaming populations: the workplace, consumer experiences, education, warfare, and even the practice of politics itself, amongst other domains. Indeed, the central claim of this dissertation is that the video game operates with the same political and cultural gravity as that ascribed to the prison by Michel Foucault. That is, just as the prison operated as the discursive site wherein the disciplinary imaginary was honed, so too does digital play operate as that discursive site wherein the ludic imperative has emerged. To make this claim, I have had to move beyond the conventional theoretical frameworks utilized in the analysis of video games.

  • Análisis De Wolfenstein: the New Order (Machinegames, 2014)
    Cuando los videojuegos escribieron el Holocausto: Análisis de Wolfenstein: The New Order (Machinegames, 2014) Aarón Rodríguez Serrano Universidad Europea de Valencia [email protected] Recibido: 10 de julio de 2014 Aceptado: 19 de septiembre de 2014 Resumen: El artículo pretende ser un análisis de Wolfenstein: The New Order (Machinegames, 2014), el primer videojuego en construir una narración que incorpora de manera explícita distintos contenidos relacio- nados con el Holocausto Se pretenden evaluar de manera crítica los distintos elementos que generan significación dentro del videojuego, utilizando para ello tanto un enfoque estético (construcción visual, narratividad) como ético (posibilidades y límites de la representación del Holocausto). Para ello, opta- remos por una doble metodología de análisis formal y temático, heredera de los procesos de análisis fílmico holocáustico pero convenientemente adaptada al lenguaje del videojuego. El trabajo resultará pionero no sólo por la cercanía con el objeto de estudio, sino por la propia necesidad que éste exige a la hora de adaptar las herramientas analíticas ya establecidas en los procesos de significación de la repre- sentación holocáustica a un formato polémico y nunca antes utilizado con estos fines. Palabras clave: Holocausto; Videojuegos; Wolfenstein: The new order; Análisis textual When the videogames wrote the Holocaust: Analysing Wolfenstein: The New Order (Machinegames, 2014) Abstract: Our paper tries to propose an analyse of Wolfenstein: The new order (Machinegames, 2004), the first videogame who shows explicitly several representations of the Holocaust. We will evaluate critically the different elements who create meaning in an aesthetical level (visual construction, narrative aspects) and an ethical level (possibilities and limits of the Holocaust´s representations).

  • A Redneck Head on a Nazi Body. Subversive Ludo-Narrative Strategies in Wolfenstein II: the New Colossus
    arts Article A Redneck Head on a Nazi Body. Subversive Ludo-Narrative Strategies in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Hans-Joachim Backe Center for Computer Games Research, IT University of Copenhagen, 2300 Copenhagen, Denmark; [email protected] Received: 13 July 2018; Accepted: 19 October 2018; Published: 6 November 2018 Abstract: This article argues that Wolfenstein: The New Colossus, a AAA First-Person Shooter, is not only politically themed, but presents in itself a critical engagement with the politics of its genre and its player base. Developed at the height of #Gamergate, the game is interpreted as a response to reactionary discourses about gender and ability in both mainstream games and the hardcore gamer community. The New Colossus replaces affirmation of masculine empowerment with intersectional ambiguities, foregrounding discourses of feminism and disability. To provoke its players without completely alienating them, the game employs strategies of carnivalesque aesthetics—especially ambivalence and grotesque excess. Analyzing the game in the light of Bakhtinian theory shows how The New Colossus reappropriates genre conventions pertaining to able-bodiedness and masculinity and how it “resolves” these issue by grafting the player character’s head on a vat-grown Nazi supersoldier-body. The breaches of genre conventions on the narrative level are supported by intentionally awkward and punishing mechanics, resulting in a ludo-narrative aesthetic of defamiliarization commensurate to a grotesque story about subversion and revolt. Echoing the ritualistic cycle of death and rebirth at the heart of carnivalesque aesthetics, The New Colossus is nothing short of an ideological re-invention of the genre. Keywords: game narrative; politics; gender; ability; cyborg; defamiliarization; carnivalesque; Gamergate; Bakhtin; Haraway; AAA; FPS 1.

  • Paradigm Shift: How the Evolution of Two Generations of Home
    PARADIGM SHIFT: HOW THE EVOLUTION OF TWO GENERATIONS OF HOME CONSOLES, ARCADES, AND COMPUTERS INFLUENCED AMERICAN CULTURE, 1985-1995 By Jason Terence Wiley A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY University of Central Oklahoma Spring, 2016 iii Abstract Author: Jason Terence Wiley Thesis Chair: Dr. Patricia Loughlin Title of Thesis: Paradigm Shift: How the Evolution of Two Generations of Home Consoles, Arcades, and Computers Influenced American Culture, 1985-1995 Abstract: As of 2016, unlike many popular media forms found here in the United States, video games possess a unique influence, one that gained its own a large widespread appeal, but also its own distinct cultural identity created by millions of fans both here stateside and across the planet. Yet, despite its significant contributions, outside of the gaming’s arcade golden age of the early 1980s, the history of gaming post Atari shock goes rather unrepresented as many historians simply refuse to discuss the topic for trivial reasons thus leaving a rather noticeable gap within the overall history. One such important aspect not covered by the majority of the scholarship and the primary focus of thesis argues that the history of early modern video games in the North American market did not originate during the age of Atari in the 1970s and early 1980s. Instead, the real genesis of today’s market and popular gaming culture began with the creation and establishment of the third and fourth generation of video games, which firmly solidified gaming as both a multi-billion dollar industry and as an accepted form of entertainment in the United States.

  • Action-Adventure Goes Arcade
    THE WAY OF THE GUN The aesthetic of the single-player First Person Shooter Published in Italian as: Klevjer, Rune (2006) “La via della pistola. L’estetica dei first person shooter in single player” In Matteo Bittanti & Sue Morris (Eds.) Doom. Giocare in prima persona, Costa & Nolan, Milano. In this introduction to the aesthetic of the single-player First Person Shooter I want to present a narrative that can give some structure to the history of the genre so far, and suggest some key concepts to highlight central characteristics and distinctions. I want to argue that a structure of generic coherence and diversity crystallised during the formative years of 1993 – 2003, unified by the distinctive traits of the subjective camera-gun. The aesthetic history of the genre follows two main trends. The first-person action-adventure as it was initially defined by Wolfenstein 3-D (1992) and Doom (1993) has developed towards a story-based, realistic, linear and cinematic adventure. This new dominant form has in part incorporated the arcade-action excesses of the early pioneers of the genre. On the other hand, the emergence of the tactical and squad-based FPS represents a radical departure from the genre’s action-adventure roots. The FPS-adventure and the tactical FPS can be described and analysed through a number of general binary oppositions. The re-invention of action-adventure Id Software’s Wolfenstein 3-D created a new niche within the broader genre of action-adventure, and brought violent arcade action to the PC. Unlike previous first-person action-shooters like Battlezone (1980), Star Wars (1983) or Wing Commander (1990), Wolfenstein 3-D takes the action into a textured, fluid and fast 3- dimensional game world.
