Offline DAoC v0.3 — single-player DAoC with bots

AI-developed customizations on the open-source Dawn of Light/OpenDAoC server,
directed and tested by a human player. Includes autonomous gamebots, companion
bots, 40/80-person companion raids, realm events, navigation, the launcher, source,
and development tools. Not an official DAoC product.

Download and play

  1. Under Assets, download DOWNLOAD AND PLAY.cmd and Get-OfflineDAoC.ps1
    into the same new folder.
    GitHub saves the first file as DOWNLOAD.AND.PLAY.cmd; it is the same helper.
  2. Run DOWNLOAD AND PLAY.cmd. It downloads the large parts from GitHub, verifies
    their hashes, and extracts the complete game into a new playable folder.
    Allow about 35 GB free disk space. No files are downloaded from the author's PC.
  3. Read READ ME FIRST.txt. Enable .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)
    in Windows Features before launching.
  4. Run START OFFLINE DAOC.cmd, click START SERVER, wait for RUNNING, then
    ENTER REALM. Let the client finish loading. The local account is created
    automatically; no registration or manual credentials are needed.

Windows x64 is required. CPUs without AVX2 support will not work. 16 GB RAM is the
recommended minimum; 8 GB may work but is untested.

The game starts with default settings and no generated bots. Hold Shift for
10 bots per click or Ctrl for 100 when using the faction bot-generation buttons.
Your accounts, characters and bot progress save locally in your own extracted folder.

For developers and LLM users

The complete playable download includes the editable source, current world data,
all 99 navigation meshes, a bundled SDK, offline packages and development tools.
Fork the public repository freely to keep your own source changes separate.

· Verification details

GitHub's automatic Source code (zip) / Source code (tar.gz) downloads are
source only, not the complete playable package. The numbered ZIP parts are joined
by the download helper; they should not be opened separately.

Verification and privacy

  • 1,886 server tests, 96 launcher tests and 23 asset-tool tests passed.
  • Separate relocated first-login test created a normal-player local account;
    the owner confirmed the realm selection screen.
  • Current runtime assets and all 99 navmeshes were checked against the installed
    baseline. Every packaged file is checked by CRC and SHA-256.
  • No author's accounts, characters, saved bot roster, personal inventories,
    credentials or gameplay history are supplied.
  • GitHub launcher label is 0.3. This is the current sharing baseline, not an
    older gameplay build. Existing installations and older ZIPs were not modified.

The server's license does not relicense original game assets or other third-party
components. Existing notices and component licenses are included. Tests on one
PC do not guarantee compatibility with every system or a bug-free game.
