…alking in

The ScriptedInstance table has existed since the first migration and has always been empty: nothing wrote to it and nothing read it, so no time-space and no raid had a door. This adds the whole path — import the entrances, show them, describe them, build them, walk in, and take the rooms away again when the last player leaves.

WHERE THE DATA COMES FROM. The client files cannot answer this one: instance entrances are placed by the server, so there is no .dat to read. A packet capture can, and does, per map:

at 1234 132 79 108 2 0 0 0     <- the map that follows
wp 104 55 79 12 81 99          <- an entrance on it
gp 24 3 4996 8 0 0             <- a raid entrance

90 distinct time-space entrances and 14 raid entrances. The wp field layout is not guessed: NosCore.Packets already declares it as (X, Y, ScriptedInstanceId, PortalType, LevelMinimum, LevelMaximum), and the captured rows agree — every level floor rises with the region.

TWO THINGS IN THE CAPTURE ARE DELIBERATELY NOT IMPORTED:

  • the portal type mixes WHICH KIND the time-space is with WHETHER THAT PLAYER had cleared it. The capture's player had finished everything, so every row reads "Done"; importing it literally would hand every account a completed game. Only the hero/normal bit is kept, and no wp we send ever claims completion, because nothing records completions.
  • the ScriptedInstanceId looks like a key and is not one — id 79 appears on maps 132 and 133, because one time-space has two doors. Rows get their own key and wp carries that.

THE SCRIPT FORMAT IS NOT OURS, ON PURPOSE. Instance content for this game has only ever been written in one shape: a Definition element with Globals and a list of CreateMap elements. Inventing a nicer one would mean nobody could bring the content they already have. Every field is optional, because real scripts omit whatever their instance does not have; malformed XML throws, because that is a mistake and hiding it behind a door that opens onto nothing helps nobody.

Only the declarative half is modelled. The same XML carries an event tree — waves, timers, locked doors, objectives — about forty node types deep, which needs a runtime; a script carrying it loads and the events are ignored rather than the instance failing.

A RUN IS NOT AN ENTRANCE. A ScriptedInstance is the door, one per entrance for the life of the server; a ScriptedInstanceRun is what happens after somebody opens it, one per party, with its own rooms and its own remaining lives. Conflating them is how two parties end up in the same rooms, so there is a test that says two entries never share a room. A run is torn down when the last of its rooms empties — per run, not per map, so a party split across two rooms keeps both.

ALSO FIXED, found on the way: PersistenceModule discovered DAOs by testing the type NAME for "InstanceDto" unless it also said "Inventory". That was meant to skip the item-instance hierarchy, which is registered by hand, but ScriptedInstanceDto matched too — so the table had no Dao at all and was unreachable from code. The test now asks the type system (IItemInstanceDto) instead of the spelling.

EXPECTED: run the parser and the table fills. Walk onto a map with a time-space and the marker is drawn with its level requirement. Click it and the entry panel opens. Press Start and, if the row has a script, you are inside a private copy of its rooms; if it has none you are told so, which is true — instance content has to be authored.

STATED RATHER THAN GUESSED, each written next to the code: TsConditionType has no field in the script format (CanEnterAlone is the least restrictive reading); Completed and HighScore are per character and nothing records them; and the rbr field layout follows NosCore.Packets, which disagrees with the older emulators in two places that the capture cannot settle.

Validates time-space requests, enforces level limits, moves characters into rooms, sends destination waypoints, and integrates scripted-run cleanup with map changes.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a103a

The change can create private instance rooms, but party members may be placed into separate runs, while displayed and enforced level requirements can disagree and raids may receive invalid 0–0 bounds. Merge should wait for these bounded entry and party-sharing issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

Use the effective level range in GenerateWp.

GenerateRbr in ScriptedInstance.cs prefers the script values through EffectiveLevelMinimum and EffectiveLevelMaximum. GenerateWp sends the imported LevelMinimum and LevelMaximum. For an entrance whose script overrides the range, the minimap marker and the entry panel show different requirements.

Use TryParse so one corrupt token does not abort the import.

The class remarks state that a capture line can be cut in half. The length guards cover a line that loses whole fields. They do not cover a line that keeps the field count but truncates a number, for example wp 134 3 followed by a corrupt tail. short.Parse and byte.Parse then throw, and the exception propagates out of RunFullImportAsync, which stops the remaining imports.

Backfill the new ScriptedInstance fields for existing rows. The migration initializes IsHeroic to false and both level bounds to 0, while re-import skips existing positions. Existing time-space entries can therefore retain incorrect metadata and reject every character above level 0 unless a script override applies. Backfill the correct values while preserving each existing Script, or define an explicit unrestricted fallback.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Use a party-scoped run contract.

InstantiateAsync requires a new run for every call. TreqPacketHandler calls it for only the requesting session. Members of the same party therefore create separate runs and cannot enter together.

Add a party identity to the service contract. Create or retrieve one active run per party atomically.

The convention scan registers discovered services as transient unless they implement ISingletonService, and it runs after the explicit AddSingleton — so every resolution started with an empty run index and no run was ever found or disposed. Marked, and the explicit registration removed.
  • A run could be destroyed mid-transfer. Walking between two rooms of the same instance leaves the character in neither for a moment, and the empty check ran in that window — tearing down the room they were walking into. It now runs after the destination session is registered.
  • treq trusted the coordinates. A modified client could name any entrance on the map. It now requires the character to be standing next to the one it names.

Also: a zero level ceiling is treated as no ceiling, so rows that predate the column do not turn everyone away.


On the XML — you are right, and I would rather not defend it. I used the OpenNos shape only because it is what existing hand-written instance content is written in, but that is an argument for a one-off importer, not for the runtime format.

What would you like instead? My inclination, if you have no strong preference, is definitions as C# in the codebase — a small fluent builder per instance, compiled, greppable, refactorable, and testable, with no parser and no string-typed room references. It costs the ability to hot-edit an instance without a rebuild; if that matters to you, JSON files under configuration/ with a schema would keep it.

Happy to split this PR if you prefer: the entrance import, the minimap markers and the entry panel do not depend on the format at all, and the run/room machinery could follow once the format is settled.

185-186: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use the effective level bounds in waypoint packets.

Register can attach a definition that overrides persisted bounds. TreqPacketHandler enforces the effective bounds, but these fields send the raw DTO values. If the values differ, the client shows incorrect entry requirements.

-                    LevelMaximum = s.LevelMaximum

Register the destination session before cleanup.

DisposeIfEmptyAsync checks MapInstance.Sessions. At Line 175, the destination channel is not added until Lines 250-252. If the final player moves between rooms in the same run, every room appears empty and cleanup removes the destination room.

Move this cleanup after the destination Sessions.Add, or register the destination session before cleanup.

Following up on the XML — I built the alternative rather than leaving the question hanging, so there is something to look at. A definition now reads like this:

InstanceDefinitionBuilder
    .Named(id: 3, label: "Cuby", title: "Mother Cuby")
    .ForLevels(20, 45)
    .WithLives(3)
    .StartingAt(12, 34)
    .Rewarding(gold: 15000, reputation: 200)
    .WithRoom(2004, out var entrance)
    .WithRoom(2005, out var lair, indexX: 1)
    .Requiring(1000, 2)
    .Drawing(1012, 3, design: 7, randomRare: true)
    .WithSpecialReward(2282, 1, heroic: true)
    .Build();

Room keys are handed out rather than written down, which is the part the XML could not do: there, the same number had to be typed in the room and again in everything pointing at it, and nothing checked the two agreed. Here a stale reference is a build error.

Being straight about the state: the builder is written and tested, but nothing uses it yet — ScriptedInstanceService still calls ScriptedInstanceDefinitionParser.Parse(row.Script). So right now the PR carries a proposal next to the thing you objected to, and the thing you objected to is still the live path. That is not a state worth merging.

What I would do next, unless you say otherwise. You asked on #2281 for smaller PRs, and this splits cleanly along that line:

  1. Entrance import, minimap markers, entry panel. Does not depend on the definition format at all — wp/rbr from the capture, treq, the level-range checks. This is most of the diff and none of the argument.
  2. Run and room machinery, on whichever format you settle on.

That gets the uncontroversial part reviewable on its own and leaves the format question in a small PR you can take your time over.

Two things I would still like your call on, because guessing them wastes both our time:

  • C# or JSON? C# gets compiler checking and refactoring; JSON under configuration/ keeps the ability to change an instance without a rebuild. I lean C# but I do not have to live with the content pipeline — you do.
  • The existing XML content. There is hand-written instance content in that format. I would keep the parser as a one-off importer that emits definitions, clearly not the runtime path — but if you would rather that content be rewritten, the parser goes entirely.

…alking in

The ScriptedInstance table has existed since the first migration and has always been empty:
nothing wrote to it and nothing read it, so no time-space and no raid had a door. This adds
the whole path — import the entrances, show them, describe them, build them, walk in, and
take the rooms away again when the last player leaves.

WHERE THE DATA COMES FROM. The client files cannot answer this one: instance entrances are
placed by the server, so there is no .dat to read. A packet capture can, and does, per map:

    at 1234 132 79 108 2 0 0 0     <- the map that follows
    wp 104 55 79 12 81 99          <- an entrance on it
    gp 24 3 4996 8 0 0             <- a raid entrance

90 distinct time-space entrances and 14 raid entrances. The wp field layout is not guessed:
NosCore.Packets already declares it as (X, Y, ScriptedInstanceId, PortalType, LevelMinimum,
LevelMaximum), and the captured rows agree — every level floor rises with the region.

TWO THINGS IN THE CAPTURE ARE DELIBERATELY NOT IMPORTED:

  * the portal type mixes WHICH KIND the time-space is with WHETHER THAT PLAYER had cleared
    it. The capture's player had finished everything, so every row reads "Done"; importing
    it literally would hand every account a completed game. Only the hero/normal bit is
    kept, and no wp we send ever claims completion, because nothing records completions.
  * the ScriptedInstanceId looks like a key and is not one — id 79 appears on maps 132 and
    133, because one time-space has two doors. Rows get their own key and wp carries that.

THE SCRIPT FORMAT IS NOT OURS, ON PURPOSE. Instance content for this game has only ever been
written in one shape: a Definition element with Globals and a list of CreateMap elements.
Inventing a nicer one would mean nobody could bring the content they already have. Every
field is optional, because real scripts omit whatever their instance does not have;
malformed XML throws, because that is a mistake and hiding it behind a door that opens onto
nothing helps nobody.

Only the declarative half is modelled. The same XML carries an event tree — waves, timers,
locked doors, objectives — about forty node types deep, which needs a runtime; a script
carrying it loads and the events are ignored rather than the instance failing.

A RUN IS NOT AN ENTRANCE. A ScriptedInstance is the door, one per entrance for the life of
the server; a ScriptedInstanceRun is what happens after somebody opens it, one per party,
with its own rooms and its own remaining lives. Conflating them is how two parties end up in
the same rooms, so there is a test that says two entries never share a room. A run is torn
down when the last of its rooms empties — per run, not per map, so a party split across two
rooms keeps both.

ALSO FIXED, found on the way: PersistenceModule discovered DAOs by testing the type NAME for
"InstanceDto" unless it also said "Inventory". That was meant to skip the item-instance
hierarchy, which is registered by hand, but ScriptedInstanceDto matched too — so the table
had no Dao at all and was unreachable from code. The test now asks the type system
(IItemInstanceDto) instead of the spelling.

EXPECTED: run the parser and the table fills. Walk onto a map with a time-space and the
marker is drawn with its level requirement. Click it and the entry panel opens. Press Start
and, if the row has a script, you are inside a private copy of its rooms; if it has none you
are told so, which is true — instance content has to be authored.

STATED RATHER THAN GUESSED, each written next to the code: TsConditionType has no field in
the script format (CanEnterAlone is the least restrictive reading); Completed and HighScore
are per character and nothing records them; and the rbr field layout follows NosCore.Packets,
which disagrees with the older emulators in two places that the capture cannot settle.

…he run lifetime

- ScriptedInstanceService implements ISingletonService. The convention scan registers
  discovered services as transient and runs after the explicit AddSingleton, so every
  resolution was starting with an empty run index and runs were never found or disposed.
- The empty-run check moved after the destination session is registered: walking between two
  rooms of one instance left the character in neither, and tore down the room they were
  walking into.
- treq now requires the character to be standing next to the entrance it names.
- A zero level ceiling means no ceiling, so rows imported before the column existed do not
  turn every character away.
- The three new resource strings are translated in all eight non-English files.
- Comments cut.

You said the OpenNos XML was not fit for purpose. Rather than ask what you would prefer and
wait, here is the thing I proposed, built, so you can judge it by looking:

    InstanceDefinitionBuilder
        .Named(id: 3, label: "Cuby", title: "Mother Cuby")
        .ForLevels(20, 45)
        .WithLives(3)
        .StartingAt(12, 34)
        .Rewarding(gold: 15000, reputation: 200)
        .WithRoom(2004, out var entrance)
        .WithRoom(2005, out var lair, indexX: 1)
        .Drawing(1012, 3, design: 7, randomRare: true)
        .Build();

What it buys: the compiler checks it, a rename reaches it, Find Usages finds it, and a room is
a variable rather than a number typed in two places that nothing compares. In the XML the room
key had to be written in the room and again in everything pointing at it; here it is handed
out by the builder and the compiler carries it.

What it costs: an instance cannot be edited without a rebuild. If that matters more than the
rest, JSON under configuration/ with a schema keeps it and the model does not change — only
where the definition comes from.

The XML parser stays for now because it is how content written elsewhere arrives, and a
definition registered in code wins over the column. Say which way you want it and the other
one goes.
