Hey guys.
These recent days, I've been working on a protocol implementation for Ace of Spades by reverse-engineering the protocol and AoS executables, and I've got quite a way already.
Most of what's left now is figuring out what some of the variables do and properly parsing packet type 6, 7, 8 and 9 (the variable-sized packets).

The project page can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/pyspades/

My intend is to make an alternative, modifiable server that will run on Windows, Linux and Mac.

I would love if Ben could post some protocol specifications himself so I wouldn't have to go through this trouble (trust me, making the decompression routine wasn't very fun), and any contributions are appreciated.
