Install

Requirements:

  • A decent web server
  • PHP 7.x (8.x is also suitable in principle)
  • MySQL

PHP Setup

An important part is to properly configure PHP.INI. The following are important parameters and values that are recommended.

PHP.INI variable Description
short_open_tag = On Allows PHP short PHP inclusions of the form <?= .... ?>. This option must be enabled because short inclusions are used everywhere in the game engine.
max_execution_time = 300 Script execution time. 300 seconds is enough for most tasks. 20kkk loss level battles are processed in about 10-15 seconds, depending on the server.
memory_limit = 1024M Here you need to choose experimentally, depending on the battle engine being used (the PHP engine can consume more memory than the C engine). A large battle can eat up 2GB of memory (#140)
display_errors = On Show script execution errors, if desired.
variables_order = "EGPCS" The order of processing global variables.

Required extensions:

  • extension=php_gd2.dll
  • extension=php_mbstring.dll
  • extension=php_mysql.dll

Preparing Files

In the root of your server you need to copy all the contents from the wwwroot folder.

The game and feed folder should be copied to the Universe instance.

Creating a Universe subdomain

If you are deploying to the Web and don't want to have one universe at the root with the game, you can create a subdomain like uni1.mygame.com and put the game and feed folder there.

⚠️ The game and feed folder in the root of the universe instance should be put in its entirety, i.e. just as a folder, not its contents. Game scripts rely on this.

If you just want to have one universe where the main page is, just put the game and feed folder in the root of your web server.

Battle Engine

You need to build the battle engine executable as written in the BattleEngine folder and put the executable wherever you need it.

As of recently, the game also has a backup PHP battle engine. If you don't have the opportunity to use your CGI-hosted applications, you can check the "Use PHP battle engine" box during installation.

Installing the Master Base

After opening an uninstalled game for the first time, you will be asked to initialize the master database:

Specify all data (MySQL database should be created separately by some other means you like, for example with Navicat MySQL).

Customizing the Universe

To customize the universe, you need to follow the direct link to the setup page, for example: http://localhost/game/install.php

Be sure to check the box and specify the master base settings to make the universe available from the home page.

Checking for correct installation

To check, just log into the universe under the nickname legor (admin).

In the admin you can check the combat engine in the Simulator section. If everything works well, there should be an adequate combat report.

Poke different buttons in the admin; Walk around the pages; Try to build something at Legor and check the command queue.

External links

The original game contains a number of links from the side menu to external resources. You can change them at your preference in install script:

  • Forum
  • Tutorial
  • Rules
  • About us

Uninstall

  • Delete config.php from the server root and config.php from the game folder
  • Clear all databases (master database and universe database)
