GoMMO

Framework

The MMORPGs we grew up on, back online. Every server here is written from scratch on one Go framework and speaks the original client byte for byte. Run your own world, mod it with GoMMO Studio, or play on ours once our servers are back up.

The worlds

4 families. One engine room.

Each family is one original game, and each version of it is its own server, because the client changed between them.

Eight kingdoms · 1 version

DragonSoul

A fantasy MMO of eight warring kingdoms, with guilds, mounts, pets and a weekly nation war.

DragonSoul v0.1.5
The framework

What every world is built from

A fix to the core reaches every game, and a game added later starts with all of it in place. Game logic, opcodes and content stay with each game.

Shared Accounts

Core packagepkg/account · pkg/auth
  • One accounts database shared by every game on a server
  • Email login, argon2id password hashing
  • Staff levels granted per game; a ban blocks the account everywhere
  • Gate to Heavens and RF servers can sign players in with their oldschoolops.com account
"Made once. Used in every world."

SQLite and MySQL

Core packagepkg/database
  • SQLite by default, nothing to install
  • MySQL for production
  • One schema; the SQLite form is derived from it at run time
  • A server creates a missing or empty database on first start
"Unzip, run, and the tables are there."

Protocol Layer

Per familygames/*wire
  • Packet framing, ciphers and codecs, one package per game family
  • Opcodes and struct layouts live with each game
  • Every message matches the original client byte for byte
"Never trust a version number."

Build Isolation

Build ruleverify-split
  • Each game binary holds no code from another game
  • One gameserver process per game, serving all its worlds
  • Windows and Linux x64
"What one world breaks stays in that world."

Lua Scripting

Scriptingpkg/script
  • A sandboxed Lua host with instruction and time budgets
  • A verb set per family: RF dungeons, Gate to Heavens NPC conversations
  • Content is .lua files in the server folder, changed without recompiling
"Write a script, not a patch."

Two-Layer Testing

Testingtest · soak
  • Rule tests, each on its own in-memory server
  • A live-world soak under a crowd of bots
  • Both must pass before any release
"Nothing ships that the bots could break."

GoMMO Studio

Open a game client and edit its world. Maps, models, spells and textures for every game on the framework, in one window, with an Install step that writes the client and server files and keeps backups.

  • Map editor with walk grids, spawns, lighting and a problems list
  • Model viewer that dresses characters in real items and plays every animation
  • Texture recolour, packs, and screenshots or turntable GIFs at 1080p
  • Works on Gate to Heavens, RF Online and World of Kung Fu clients
Get GoMMO Studio

Self-host

Run your own world

A release bundle has the server, its data and a fresh database. Nothing else to install.

  1. Download a release

    Pick a game and a version from Downloads.

  2. Unzip it anywhere

    SQLite is the default, so the databases build themselves on first start. Switch to MySQL when you need it.

  3. Run the server

    One process serves every world for that game. Point the client at it and log in.

One account. Run it, mod it, play it.

Your Old School Ops account covers everything here: the downloads, the docs, the forum and bug reports today, and logging in to our game servers once they are back up.

Operate

Download a server bundle for any game, read the setup docs, and report what breaks so the fix lands for everyone.

Mod

Edit maps, models, spawns and textures in GoMMO Studio, then install the changes into your own client and server.

Play

Log in to our public servers with the same account when they return, and follow every release on the forum until then.
