A Phantasy Star Online emulator written in Rust. Currently very incomplete.

• Native Windows, Linux, and MacOSX support.
• Written in Rust, a high level systems language with statically guaranteed memory and concurrency safety, and a smart optimizing compiler.
• Memory-efficient architecture for handling connections.
• Supports Blue Burst.

• Support for multiple kinds of databases (currently sqlite3 file store only)
• Flexible configuration system for single or multi server set-ups. Only want to run the game locally? Just configure IDOLA to spin up every service needed by the game locally, and run a single instance of the app.
• Experience point and drop rate adjustment in config for PSOBB.
• Cross-version interaction between all versions of PSO.

IDOLA requires Rust 1.5 stable or later to build.

1. Install Rust 1.5 for your platform. Check with rustc --version
2. Install libsqlite3.
3. Run cargo build. Optionally, cargo build --release for release optimizations. Warning: compile times will skyrocket.
4. The binary will be in target/{debug|release}/idola[.exe].

You must use the GNU ABI version of Rust to build because we link into libsqlite3. The easiest way to set this up is to install MSYS2, and install the mingw-w64-i686 package for libsqlite3 (not the MSYS version) in Pacman. The build script for the Rust binding will use the Windows version of pkg-config to find the libsqlite3 to link.

The idola binary is multi-functional. Primarily, it is the server, but it is multiple servers combined. The configuration file passed with the -c or --config option specifies what services are run in this instance of the server. This aids in debugging; an example configuration can be found at data/default/idola_local.toml in the source tree that spawns a patch, login, ship, 10 blocks, and the shipgate server all bound on 127.0.0.1, with the shipgate's database configured to a Sqlite file named local.db in the current directory.

A complete Blue Burst service minimally requires at least one of each:

• BB Patch server
• BB Data server
• BB Login server (configured to redirect to itself)
• Ship
• Block
• Shipgate

The shipgate serves information about accounts and all the other services (except for the patch server) must login and verify on it. Ships will talk to the shipgate to register themselves to the server.

The following section is not implemented yet.

In addition to running the services, idola can be used to execute commands on a shipgate, such as account management.

Currently, only a simple password is used to authenticate connections to the shipgate. That means, if you are running an Internet-accessible service, you should configure your network such that your services connect through your own intranet, so that shipgate traffic does not route through the Internet. If not, user credentials and the shipgate password could be exposed. The easiest way to ensure this for a single server is to bind the shipgate on localhost and configure services to connect on localhost as well.
