Light Mode

XID can be run in a special light mode, where it only supports the minimum subset of the RPC interface required to generate auth credentials. This is useful in particular as the first step to then using Charon for gaming with a fully light client.

The light mode implements getauthmessage and setauthsignature locally, as well as getnullstate and getnamestate by calling another (full) XID instance using its REST API.

To start XID in light mode, the binary xid-light should be used instead of xid. It needs to be passed the local port for the reduced JSON-RPC interface, and the endpoint of the remote REST API to use for game-state requests. For example:

xid-light \
  --game_rpc_port=8400 \
  --rest_endpoint="https://seeder.xaya.io"
