RR3 Asset CDN URL - What We Need

Current Situation

The emulator approach is taking too long. Here's what we actually need:

Just Need ONE Thing: The CDN Base URL

Once we have it, we can download everything with our script.

Questions for RR3 Resurrection Discord

Hey! Working on preserving RR3 assets. Quick question:

Do you know the Cloudcell CDN base URL EA uses?

Looking for something like:

  • https://[something].cloudfront.net
  • https://cdn-rr3.ea.com
  • https://rr3-assets.ea.com

We have:

  • All 1,236 asset manifests (complete file lists)
  • Automated downloader with MD5 verification
  • Just need the base URL!

With the URL we can download and preserve all 2-5 GB of assets.


If They Have the CDN URL

Once we get it, update this file and run:

# Edit E:\rr3\RR3CommunityServer\download-assets.ps1
# Change line 18:
$EaCdnBaseUrl = "https://[ACTUAL-CDN-URL]"

# Then run:
cd E:\rr3\RR3CommunityServer
.\download-assets.ps1 -TestMode  # Test with 10 files first
.\download-assets.ps1             # Download everything (2-5 GB)

If They Have Assets Already Preserved

Ask if they can share:

  1. The CDN URL they used
  2. Or their cached assets directly
  3. We'll upload to our private repo: https://github.com/ssfdre38/rr3-assets

Alternative: Check Their Resources

Since they mentioned Google Drive (but outdated), they might have:

  • Asset archives
  • CDN documentation
  • Server setup guides
  • Working community servers already

Ask them for the latest resource links!


What to Share with Them

Our project:

We've built:

  • Complete server implementation (Director, Account, Commerce, Progression)
  • Server browser in APK (no rebuild needed!)
  • Asset preservation system
  • Just need the CDN URL or actual assets!

Bottom Line

Ask the Discord: "What CDN URL does EA use for asset downloads?"

They're already preserving RR3, so they definitely know this! 🎮
