Land of the Rair

A high fantasy MORPG inspired by the MUDs of olde.

Requirements

• Node.js (recommended: 8.0.0+)
• npm (needed: 5.x+)
• MongoDB (recommended: 3.4.4+, or a hosted service, like MLab)
• Redis (or a hosted redis service, like Redis Lab)

Install

• npm install
• npm run setup
• npm start (or run npm run start:client and npm run start:server separately)

Environment Variables

First, create a .env file in the root. Then, populate it with these values:

• MONGODB_URI - the URI that leads to a mongodb instance (for example: mongodb://localhost:27017/rair)
• REDIS_URL - a URI that leads to a redis cache (for example: redis://localhost:6379)

If you want to use Auth0, you can set this value (if you don't, see the section Authenticating Locally below):

• AUTH0_SECRET - Auth0 server secret

If you want strict validation of users (ie, if you're doing anything sensitive like taking payments), set these values:

• AUTH0_JWKS_URI - the URI that leads to the Auth0 JWKS JSON file

If you want to test Discord integration, you can also add:

• DISCORD_SECRET - the discord secret for your discord bot
• DISCORD_GUILD - the discord guild for your discord bot
• DISCORD_WATCHER_ROLE - the watcher role for your discord bot (default: "Event Watcher")
• DISCORD_VERIFIED_ROLE - the role for a user to get when they connect their discord (default: "Verified")
• DISCORD_MUTED_ROLE - the role for a user who is muted in game (default: "Muted")
• DISCORD_SUBSCRIBER_ROLE - the role for a user to get when they subscribe (default: "Subscriber")
• DISCORD_ONLINE_ROLE - the role for a user who is "always online" (default: Online In Lobby)
• DISCORD_CHANNEL - the id of the channel for your discord bot to talk in
• DISCORD_BOT_CHANNEL - the id of the channel for your discord bot to listen for commands in
• DISCORD_BOT_NAME - the name of the bot as it was set up (default: "LandOfTheRairLobby")

Also, your bot will need a role that can assign roles.

If you want to test Stripe, you need to add:

• STRIPE_TOKEN - the Stripe secret key

If you want to test GameAnalytics, you need to add:

• GAMEANALYTICS_GAME_KEY - the GameAnalytics game key
• GAMEANALYTICS_SECRET_KEY - the GameAnalytics secret key

Setup

Initial Setup

For initial setup, run this:

• npm run setup

Content Creation

For subsequent updates and specific changes, you can run these instead:

• npm run seed:items - this will populate the database with items
• npm run seed:npcs - this will populate the database with npc data
• npm run seed:drops - this will populate the database with drop table data
• npm run seed:recipes - this will populate the database with recipe data
• npm run task:macros- this will generate the macro icon metadata. If you add new icons, please only take from my repository.

Authenticating Locally

If you do not want to use Auth0 for some particular reason, you can bypass it by adding ?username=myusername to the URL. This does not work in production mode.

Making Yourself a GM

If you want to do any debugging, you'll need to make yourself a GM. To do that, you'll want to set your account to be a GM. Open up a mongo shell or run this query through an external tool:

db.accounts.update({ username: 'YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME' }, { $set: { isGM: true } });

You only need to do this once.

Testing Outside Of localhost

By default, the client is configured to connect to localhost. If you want to connect somewhere else (say, you're using a VM), you can change src/client/environments/environment.ts to reflect the location of your server. For example, if you're developing in a VM, you probably want to change the two instances of localhost to be the IP of the VM.

Server Debug Routes

Some routes are enabled for debugging purposes and are otherwise unused. You can visit:

• /server for server stats
• /premium-stats for premium buying stats
• /item-stats for avg. item stats
• /item-csv for the item database dumped to a CSV
• /logs for server logs (log entries expire after 6h)
• /maps to see all of the maps in the game presently
