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.

## 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````.

## Support
[Create an issue](https://github.com/pvpgn/pvpgn-server/issues) 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.

## Development
Submit pull requests to contribute to this project. Utilize C++11 features and adhere to the [C++ Core Guidelines](https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines/blob/master/CppCoreGuidelines.md) whenever possible.

## Building
See [docs/ports.md](https://github.com/pvpgn/pvpgn-server/blob/master/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.

#### Windows
Use [Magic Builder](https://github.com/pvpgn/pvpgn-server-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.

```
apt-get install git install cmake make build-essential zlib1g-dev
apt-get install liblua5.1-0-dev #Lua support
apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient-dev #MySQL support
cd /home
git clone https://github.com/pvpgn/pvpgn-server.git
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/pvpgn -D WITH_MYSQL=true -D WITH_LUA=true ../
make
make install
```
