How to setup and run the service:

1) Clone using Git

  1. Open your command prompt window with Git support installed.

  2. Use Git to clone the server repo:

    git clone https://github.com/Fibula-MMO/fibula-server.git

  3. The resulting folder will contain this structure (or similar):

2) Build the solution

  1. You have some options to do this, but you'll need to:

    • Install .NetCore SDK 3.X from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download.

    • Use Visual Studio (the included solution is for 2019 Community edition) OR

    • Using a command line interface to build:

      dotnet build --configuration Release

    Image of awesomeness, no errors, no warnings!

NOTE: You can run tests for the solution by running the command:

dotnet test

That being said, there are not very many tests at the time of writing... help write some!

  1. After you build it, the project you want to focus on is Fibula.Standalone. Go into the bin folder created, and it should look something like this:

3) Extract the Map sector files.

These take a lot of space uncompressed, so I only included them as a zipped archive.

  1. Look for the file named map.zip in the main repository folder.

  2. Decompress the archive into the Fibula.Standalone/bin/Release/netcoreapp3.1 folder you just inspected:

4) Run the binary:

Running the server is simple:

  1. From within the Fibula.Standalone/bin/Release/netcoreapp3.1 folder, execute dotnet on the standalone's DLL:

    dotnet .\Fibula.Standalone.dll

This server engine is designed to only load the sector files surronding players as they approach them, making it start really fast and requiring just a few memory- currently hovering around ~60 MB so far. This will change of course, as we switch to a non in-memory database, add more assets loading and pre-checks.

What's that? You don't see [Verbose] stuff when you run yours? That's by design! Go to configuration after this if you want to fiddle with that kind of thing.

5) Log in:

  1. Use you favorite 7.72** client to connnect to localhost / 127.0.0.1 (per vanilla configuration). In my case, I'm just using OTLand's IP Changer with a vanilla client:

** Or whatever version you're running! At the time of writing, 7.72 is the default version that's selected as the project builds.

  1. Use the credentials for the In-Memory database:
Account Number: 1
Password: 1
