I will no longer be working on this (most likely), and as incomplete as it is, I felt that this would have been wasted sitting as a private repo. Since this code is fairly old, you'll see some "severe" vulnerabilities for some packages used but all of that only pertains to development and won't affect production.

Key features:

• Guest players
• Server-side auto attacks (gain EXP/loot while offline!)
• Websocket based rather than HTTP polling
• Multi class/starting location

How to install: PHP 8.2, MySQL > 8 or MariaDB > 10.6, NodeJS 18, any modern version of Redis will work. Linux is a must since you will need PHP's pcntl.

Install soketi by running npm install -g @soketi/soketi and cp soketi.json.example soketi.json and run configure the values as you like and run soketi start --config=soketi.json Grab your invisible reCAPTCHA v2 key too while you're at it since you'll need to put it in your .env

Now after you've done your composer update you'll want to install Laravel Horizon php artisan horizon:install and run it using php artisan horizon

Once again, I've nuked the development database containing pre-configured values unfortunately. You're going to need to create a MOTD row in the server_settings table and create a couple of starter locations ID'd 1-4 and a coupon mobs for those locations too. If you accidentally already entered the game, just do a quick php artisan cache:clear and it should be good

We'll now be at the home screen

If you're a spammer with a negative social credit IP address, you'll see this when you try to get in as a guest

Complete the captcha and you'll be greeted with the character screen

Go create a character

and select a mode

and you're off to the races

Very feature in-complete but hey, your game is already better than Lyrania.

Alternatively, if you want a "feature complete" but very old PBBG code, you can take a look at To Lands Unknown
