A character which has participated in a mini game with enabled ranking statistics could not be deleted. The database rejected it with Npgsql.PostgresException 23503: update or delete on table "Character" violates foreign key constraint "FK_MiniGameRankingEntry_Character_CharacterId" MiniGameRankingEntry is a member of neither the character nor the mini game definition aggregate, so the model generator doesn't emit a delete behavior for its references. The entity was registered without any additional configuration, so Entity Framework fell back to no action for these optional relationships, which the database translates into a restricting foreign key. Both references are now configured with a cascading delete, matching the behavior of the other references to a character. With that, all seven relationships pointing to Character delete their dependents. This affects both deletion paths: the one of the player (DeleteCharacterAction) and the one of an administrator, who can remove a character from the account in the admin panel. The cascade on the mini game definition is deliberate and part of the same defect: deleting a definition in the admin panel ran into the very same restriction. It does mean that the ranking history of a mini game is dropped together with its definition. Reported in issue 796. (cherry picked from commit a391bdedbbd3a36ccb37124125bd7ede4f851dca)

This project aims to create an easy to use, extendable and customizable server for a MMORPG called "MU Online". The server supports multiple versions of the game, but the main focus is version of Season 6 Episode 3 using the ENG (english) protocol. Additionally, the long-term focus is on the open source client which supports a slightly extended network protocol. However, parts of the software can also be suitable for the development of other games, even for other kind of games.
The code is a complete rewrite from scratch - it's not based on pre-existing projects, and it's also explicitly not based on decompiled server sources or their countless derivates.
There also exists a blog which may contain some valuable information about this development.
Current project state
This project is currently under development without any release. You can try the current state by using the available docker image, also mentioned in the quick start guide.
Licensing
This project is released under the MIT license (see LICENSE file).
Used technologies
The project is mainly written in C# and targets .NET 10.0.
The servers admin panel is hosted on an embedded ASP.NET Core webserver (Kestrel) and implemented as Blazor Server App.
At the moment the persistence layer uses the Entity Framework Core and PostgreSQL as database. Additionally, it's also possible to start it in a non-persistent in-memory mode.
The project is prepared to be hosted in a single process or distributed in multiple processes. For the communication between the processes, we use Dapr.
Deployment
We provide Docker images and docker-compose files for easy deployment. Please take a look at the deploy-folder of this project.
Contributions
Contributions are welcome if they meet the following criteria:
-
Language is english.
-
Code should be StyleCop compliant - this project uses the StyleCop.Analyzers for VS2022 so you should see issues directly as warnings.
-
Coding style (naming, etc.) and quality should fit to the current state.
-
No code copied/converted from the well-known decompiled source of the original server.
If you want to contribute, please create a new issue for the feature or bug (if the issue doesn't exist yet) so we can see who is working on something and can discuss possible solutions. If it's a small thing, you can also just send a pull request without adding an issue.
Apart of that, contributions from non-developers are welcome as well. You can test the server, submit issues or suggestions, packet descriptions or documentations about the concepts and mechanics of the game itself. Please use markdown files/syntax for this purpose.
If you have questions about that, don't hesitate to ask in our discord channel or by submitting an issue.
How to contribute code
If you want to contribute code, please do the following steps:
- fork this project from the original MUnique OpenMU Project.
- create a feature branch from the master branch
- commit your changes to your feature branch
- please test your changes, don't send AI generated code without testing it yourself
- submit a pull request to the original master branch
- wait for the code review and merge :)
How to use
Please have a look at the quick start guide.
Gameplay differences to the original server
This project doesn't have the goal to copy the original MU Online server behavior to 100 %. This is not entirely possible, because the original server is written in another programming language and has a completely different architecture. With some points we make our life easier in this project, with other points we try to improve the gameplay.
Calculations
The calculations of attribute values (like character damage decrement etc.) are done with 32 bit float numbers and without rounding off, like the original server does at some places. E.g. distributed stat points always have effect, while in the original server effects might get rounded down. For example, when 4 points of strength gives 1 base damage, the original server doesn't calculate a fraction of 1 damage for 3 points, while OpenMU calculates 0.75 damage. This damage has then an effect in further calculations.
Countdown when changing character or sub-server
The original server uses a five second countdown when a player wants to change his character or the sub-server. Maybe this was done for some performance reasons, as the original server would then save the character/account data. We think that's really annoying and see no real value in that, so we don't use a countdown.
