The SHA-256 integrity check introduced in migration 0007 blocks saves
when a character's savedata blob is imported from another server instance,
because the stored hash in the target DB no longer matches the new blob.
Adding DisableSaveIntegrityCheck (default: false) lets server operators
bypass the check to unblock cross-server save transfers. A warning is
logged each time the check is skipped so the flag's use is auditable.
Documents the per-character SQL alternative in CHANGELOG:
UPDATE characters SET savedata_hash = NULL WHERE id = <id>
Closes#183.
Only the database password is truly mandatory to get started, but
config.example.json was 267 lines with 90+ options. Newcomers faced a
wall of settings with no indication of what matters.
Add registerDefaults() with all sane defaults via Viper so a minimal
config (just DB credentials) produces a fully working server. Gameplay
multipliers default to 1.0 instead of Go's zero value 0.0, which
previously zeroed out all quest rewards for minimal configs. Uses
dot-notation defaults for GameplayOptions/DebugOptions so users can
override individual fields without losing other defaults.
- Shrink config.example.json from 267 to 10 lines
- Rename full original to config.reference.json as documentation
- Simplify wizard buildDefaultConfig() from ~220 to ~12 lines
- Fix latent bug: SaveDumps default used wrong key DevModeOptions
- Add tests: minimal config, backward compat, single-field override
- Update release workflow, README, CONTRIBUTING, docker/README
The config package used `package _config` with a leading underscore,
which is unconventional in Go. Rename to `package config` (matching the
directory name) and use `cfg` as the standard import alias across all
93 importing files.
Replace all fmt.Printf/Println and log.Printf/Fatal with structured
zap.Logger calls to eliminate inconsistent logging (anti-pattern #12).
- network/crypt_conn: inject logger via NewCryptConn, replace 6 fmt calls
- signserver/session: use existing s.logger for debug packet dumps
- entranceserver: use s.logger for inbound/outbound debug logging
- api/utils: accept logger param in verifyPath, replace fmt.Println
- api/endpoints: use s.logger for screenshot path diagnostics
- config: replace log.Fatal with error return in getOutboundIP4
- deltacomp: replace log.Printf with zap.L() global logger
Re-enable the golangci-lint job in CI (disabled Oct 2025), update to
Go 1.25 and golangci-lint-action v7. Fix errcheck, gosimple S1009,
staticcheck SA4031 and SA2001 errors across 54 files. Remaining ~39
lint errors will be addressed in follow-up commits.
