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
Allow server operators to show new players how to install the game
client when they visit the server address in a browser. The page
content (title and HTML body) is fully configurable via config.json
and can be toggled on/off. Uses Go embed for a self-contained dark-
themed HTML template with zero new dependencies.
Add a recording and replay foundation for the MHF network protocol.
A RecordingConn decorator wraps network.Conn to transparently capture
all decrypted packets to binary .mhfr files, with zero handler changes
and zero overhead when disabled.
- network/pcap: binary capture format (writer, reader, filters)
- RecordingConn: thread-safe Conn decorator with direction tracking
- CaptureOptions in config (disabled by default)
- Capture wired into all three server types (sign, entrance, channel)
- cmd/replay: CLI tool with dump, json, stats, and compare modes
- 19 new tests, all passing with -race
Enable multiple Erupe instances to share a single PostgreSQL database
without destroying each other's state, fix existing data races in
cross-channel access, and lay groundwork for future distributed
channel server deployments.
Phase 1 — DB safety:
- Scope DELETE FROM servers/sign_sessions to this instance's server IDs
- Fix ci++ bug where failed channel start shifted subsequent IDs
Phase 2 — Fix data races in cross-channel access:
- Lock sessions map in FindSessionByCharID and DisconnectUser
- Lock stagesLock in handleMsgSysLockGlobalSema
- Snapshot sessions/stages under lock in TransitMessage types 1-4
- Lock channel when finding mail notification targets
Phase 3 — ChannelRegistry interface:
- Define ChannelRegistry interface with 7 cross-channel operations
- Implement LocalChannelRegistry with proper locking
- Add SessionSnapshot/StageSnapshot immutable copy types
- Delegate WorldcastMHF, FindSessionByCharID, DisconnectUser to Registry
- Migrate LockGlobalSema and guild mail handlers to use Registry
- Add comprehensive tests including concurrent access
Phase 4 — Per-channel enable/disable:
- Add Enabled *bool to EntranceChannelInfo (nil defaults to true)
- Skip disabled channels in startup loop, preserving ID stability
- Add IsEnabled() helper with backward-compatible default
- Update config.example.json with Enabled field
