EQ: Requiem is a project that brings EverQuest to the browser using the BabylonJS Engine and go. Contributors are welcome, please reach out in discord:

EQ Requiem will always remain open source and welcomes contributions of all kinds. Here are steps to get local development set up:

• Go version 1.24 https://go.dev/doc/install
• MySQL
  • Windows: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-installation-excerpt/5.7/en/windows-installation.html
  • Linux: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-installation-excerpt/5.7/en/linux-installation.html
  • Mac: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-installation-excerpt/5.7/en/macos-installation.html
• NodeJS + npm https://nodejs.org/en/download
• Local port 443 available (This could be worked around but we're not there yet)

• VSCode https://code.visualstudio.com/download
• Make (Windows users can just use CLI commands instead but Make makes things easy)

• From the root directory, run cd client && npm install
• Run the client development server with different options
  • npm run start:prod - This allows you to do client-side code changes without a server spun up and depends on the live server to be up
  • npm start - This will try to connect to your locally running go backend on port 443
  • npm run sage:dev - This is for using Sage to convert assets in runtime and requires installing the Sage core module as a sibling repo of this repo https://github.com/knervous/eqsage

In order to start the server, you must first install MySQL and seed the database from the latest template db eqgo

• Download the dump file: https://eqrequiem.blob.core.windows.net/dev/eqgo.sql.zip
• Extract it anywhere
• CD to the directory the dumpfile.sql lives in and run
  • mysql -u [username] -p[password] -e "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS eqgo"
  • mysql -u[username] -p[password] eqgo < dumpfile.sql
• Verify the database is populated and running

• Under the directory server/internal/config there's a template called eqgo_config_template.json, copy that and rename it eqgo_config.json
• Fill out all the necessary credentials to connect to your MySQL DB
• Go to server/internal/config and generate key.pem with
  • openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -out key.pem -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048
• To avoid error when using make or go run, create a Discord application, get your bot token, and paste it into discord.txt inside server/internal/config

• For the rest of the commands you should be cd into server in the root directory
• If you have Make, you can run make s to run the server, see the Makefile for the rest of the commands
• If you don't have Make (on Windows) then you can run go run ./cmd/server to start the server
• If you want to debug in VSCode, there are launch options to start normally and with local quests. Local quests allow you to hot swap quests out every time you save.

You are now ready to connect and should be able to visit the local webpack development server and connect to your local backend
