Amazing Core

Amazing Core is an open-source server emulator for the MMO Amazing World, originally developed by Ganz and shut down in 2018. This project provides a modular, configurable framework with tools for server management, asset handling, and game services, accessible via a web-based dashboard.

Features

Amazing Core is still in development and not yet in a playable state - many message handlers currently return placeholder responses. However, the project already includes:

• Modular architecture for game services;
• Implementation of the networking protocol;
• SQLite storage for simplicity and portability;
• Lightweight Web UI for server and database management;

Install the game

1. Visit the game SteamDB page: https://steamdb.info/app/293500/;
2. Click the Install button in the top right corner;
3. Install the game using Steam;
4. Navigate to the game folder and open the ServerConfig.xml file in a text editor;
5. Modify the server address as shown below:

If you do not want to run a server yourself, you can use the public development server:

ServerIP = 'springbay.amazingcore.org'

To use your your own local server:

ServerIP = 'localhost'

• To play the intro level, click the I'm new! button in the main menu;
• To explore Spring Bay, click the Log in button and enter any username and password;

Getting Started

1. Download the latest server binary;
2. Place the config.json in the same folder as the server binary;
3. Create a folder named data_db;
4. Download the blob.db, and place it inside data_db;
5. Run the server binary;

Once started:

• The API server will be available at http://localhost:3000
• The Game server will listen on localhost:8182
• You can customize server settings using the config.json.

• Go >= 1.24;

To build the project:
