UltimaPHP - Ultima Online OpenSource Server

UltimaPHP is a modern Ultima Online server written in PHP 7.0.

This server was created for those who ever wanted to create different adaptations on the core of your shard.

I decided to build this project for study propose I've re-scripted the entire socket server to understand how it works and after that i decided to create a lightweight standalone version of the server that runs in any OS easily.

Note: The server only works with the last updated Ultima Online client (7.0.74.28) and we will not spend time with older clients for now.

How to install?

First of all, you will need to install PHP 7.0 or greater and MongoDB 3.4+, I recommend you to use PHP 7.1 it's ultra-fast and lightweight, for that:

• PHP download page and get the version of PHP you want to use
• MongoDB page and get the right version of MongoDB for your machine.

After installing PHP and MongoDB on the machine, edit the file ultimaphp.ini as you wish, create a MongoDB database named "ultimaphp" (or anyone, just need to change at the ultimaphp.ini) and create/import all collections from tools/Mongo Database/*.json (file name is the collection name) and follow the next steps to start the server:

Note 1: You can use some program to visualize and work with MongoDB like: RoboMongo or MongoChef

Note 2: The default owner account/password in the database is: test/test

Note 3: The default player account/password in the database is: test2/test

Note 4: Passwords is always stored in MD5 encryption both in the database and in server variables

Note 5: UltimaPHP only works (till now) with no-encrypted clients.

Linux

• Open the terminal and navigate to the root folder of UltimaPHP project
• Type: php7.0 startserver.php

Mac

• Docker Stack is coming :)

Windows

• Open the run dialog (SUPER+R) and type cmd then run
• Navigate to PHP installation folder cd c:\php\installation\folder\
• And start the server php.exe c:\ultimaphp\instalation\folder\startserver.php

Docker

• With docker and docker-compose installed, clone that repository and run docker-compose up.
• This will bring up uphp and mongo container.

Base PHP compilation

For those, like me, who preffer to use an most performatic standalone PHP, with only what it really needs

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-config-file-path=/etc --enable-sockets --enable-bcmath --enable-mbstring --enable-zip --enable-pcntl --enable-ftp --enable-exif --enable-sysvmsg --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --enable-wddx --with-mcrypt --with-iconv --with-zlib-dir=/usr --with-xpm-dir=/usr --with-openssl --with-gettext=/usr --with-zlib=/usr --with-bz2=/usr
make
make install
