Player vs Player Gaming Network - PRO

PvPGN is a free and open source cross-platform server software that supports Battle.net and and Westwood Online game clients. PvPGN-PRO is a fork of the official PvPGN project, whose development stopped in 2011, and aims to provide continued maintenance and additional features for PvPGN.

Deleaker helps us find memory leaks.

Tracking

By default, tracking is enabled and is only used for the purpose of sending informational data (e.g. server description, homepage, uptime, amount of users) to tracking servers. To disable tracking, set track = 0 in conf/bnetd.conf.

* WarCraft 3 clients are unable to connect to PvPGN servers without a client-side modification, through tools such as W3L, to disable server signature verification. * StarCraft clients beginning with patch 1.18 will not be supported by PvPGN-PRO due to protocol changes. A 1.18.0 versioncheck entry is included for compatibility with bot software.

Support

Create an issue if you have any questions, suggestions, or anything else to say about PvPGN-PRO. Please note that D2GS is not part of the PvPGN project and is therefore unsupported here. Set loglevels = fatal,error,warn,info,debug,trace in bnetd.conf before obtaining logs and posting them.

Development

Submit pull requests to contribute to this project. Utilize C++11 features and adhere to the C++ Core Guidelines whenever possible.

Building

See docs/ports.md for operating systems and compilers that have been confirmed to work with PvPGN. Any operating system that supports WinAPI or POSIX, and any C++11 compliant compiler should be able to build PvPGN. The CMake files have been hardcoded to reject compilers older than Visual Studio 2015 and GCC 5.1.

Windows

Use Magic Builder.

Alternatively, use cmake to generate the .sln project and build it from Visual Studio.

cmake -g "Visual Studio 14 2015" -H./ -B./build

This will generate .sln in build directory.

Linux in general

Do not blindly run these commands. The main problem with older distributions is installing CMake 3.2.x and GCC 5, so external repositories are used in the examples.

Hosting on LAN or VPS with private IP address

Some VPS providers do not assign your server a direct public IP. If that is the case or you host at home behind NAT you need to setup the route translation in address_translation.conf. The public address is pushed as the route server address to game clients when seeking games. Failure to push the correct address to game clients results in players not being able to match and join games (long game search and error).

If your network interface is directly bound to public IP, PvPGN can figure it out on it's own and this step is not necessary.
