Introduction

Slayers World is a project developed to provide a new engine for players looking to find the thrills of an old school MMORPG game. After a year of development the project has taken a different path and Slayers World is no longer maintained, that's why today the project is available in open source with MIT License.

Slayers World has the basic features of a MMORPG, with management of items, quests, classes, spells, monsters, groups, ... and even a battleground.

The goal is to provide people who want to learn about the subject a base on which they can learn and practice.

For the technical part, the whole game was developed in C++ (it is easily possible to adapt the code in another object-oriented language), the graphical and network engine is based on the SFML library.

The project is split into two parts :

Server

• Make a characters DB and execute the sql file
• Make a world DB and execute the sql file
• Insert new account in login
• Write server.conf and place it side to server.exe

server.conf

Port = 1234
LoginDebug = 0
charactersDB = 127.0.0.1;root;root;characters;3306;
worldDB = 127.0.0.1;root;root;world;3306;

• Add map folder side to server.exe

• Add libmysql.dll side to server.exe

• Create account on Database

  INSERT INTO `login` (login, password) VALUES ('test@test', MD5('test'));

• Create a player

  INSERT INTO `characters` (accountID, name, health, alignment) VALUES (1, 'toto', 100, 0);

Client

• Add config file side to client.exe

  config.wtf

  IPServer = 127.0.0.1
  

• Add datas folder side to client.exe (map, font, img)

• TIPS : Write a little launcher(windows) because client.exe need param

  launcher.bat

  start "" "D:\Projects\Build\Client\client.exe" test@test.fr test

Issues

• Add entry on CMAKE(for windows only) 'SFML_ROOT' with root directory

We roxx Yeah!
