Project init 6 . Old battle.net like warnet server.

Project init 6

From scratch implementation of a Battle.net-like server for channel wars aka "warnet". Written in Scala.

It's built on the premise that first person to enter a private channel gets operator status like the old Battle.net.

It also has the capability to track statistics and extract ranking data out of them.

• It neither supports nor is meant to support real Battle.net game clients.
• It should support most bots.
• Supports both binary and telnet protocols.
  • Including a telnet/IRC-like "init 6" protocol. Documentation for which is included in the repo as a pdf.
  • Includes websocket support for init 6 protocol. Great for webbots!
• Is meant to drop at set intervals.
• Supports cluster setup. Servers sync with each other, no need for a hub.

Setup

All of the included scripts are meant to be run on a Linux system, though considering it's a JVM-based project, there should be only little effort necessary to get it working under windows/mac. The existing setup scripts were first written for centos6 but I made some changes for centos7 for last server deployment. To setup a new box, look at server_setup_1.sh and server_setup_2.sh for inspiration Key things to do server side:

• Disable/config selinux
• Set kernel SO_RECVBUF (net.core.rmem_max) to 131072
• Install JDK/JRE 8 and MariaDB
• Use schema.sql in src/main/resources/db/ to get the tables up and running

Things to do client side:

• Download and install Scala
• Check this out from git & compile it with Maven
  • To incorporate build hash and number in motd, use build.sh script. Internally it calls mvn clean package
• This will produce tarball init6.tar.gz in folder target
• Upload + unpack that on your server
• Edit the config files, namely look at
  • init6.conf - this is the main server config file, explanations for important values are in the config.
  • start.sh - this is the run script that will drop/restart the server at certain intervals. Editable values at top of the file.
  • init6.service - this is a systemd service unit file meant for Linux systems with systemd, to be used exclusively in place of start.sh. Copy it to or symlink it under the /etc/systemd/system directory and reload systemd with systemctl daemon-reload.
• Once you are done, all you need to do is run start.sh or use systemctl start init6 (depending which method you used) to get the server going.
  • Make sure database connection works!

Fun while it lasted! I'm sure we'll be back.
