TravianZ is an open-source browser strategy game inspired by classic Travian-like gameplay.
This repository currently targets modern local/server setups with PHP 8.x and MariaDB.
## Project Status
- Version line: `v8.3.5` (legacy naming)
- Stability: playable and actively maintained
- Migration note: this is not a drop-in upgrade over older `8.3.2` deployments
If you are upgrading from an older installation, do a fresh install and migrate data carefully.
## Quick Start (Docker)
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Shadowss/TravianZ.git
cd TravianZ
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up -d
```
Then open:
- `http://localhost:8080/install`
Detailed container guide: [DOCKER_README.md](DOCKER_README.md)
## System Requirements
Recommended:
- PHP `8.3+`
- MariaDB `latest stable` (or MySQL-compatible server)
- Apache or Nginx with PHP support
- Linux server with enough CPU/RAM for your expected player count
Notes:
- The game is query-heavy by design (legacy architecture), so shared hosting can become a bottleneck quickly.
- For medium/large servers, prefer dedicated or well-sized VPS infrastructure.
## Installation (Web Installer)
1. Start services (Docker) or prepare your web+DB stack.
2. Open `http://your-host/install`.
3. Fill database settings:
- Host: `db` (Docker) or your DB host
- Port: usually `3306`
- DB/User/Password from your environment
4. Complete installer steps:
- DB structure
- World data
- Croppers build
5. After success, access the game root.
## Environment Configuration
Use `.env` (copy from `.env.example`) to manage deployment values.
Main keys:
- `MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD`
- `MARIADB_DATABASE`
- `MARIADB_USER`
- `MARIADB_PASSWORD`
- `DB_HOST`
- `DB_PORT`
Legacy compatibility keys (`MYSQL_*`) are still supported and can inherit MariaDB values.
## Admin Panel
Admin entrypoint:
- `http://your-host/Admin/admin.php`
Recent improvements include:
- Users list under the `Users` menu
- Better null/undefined handling in admin templates
- Dynamic table prefix support in map tile queries
## Performance Notes
For large worlds (for example `400x400`), generation tasks can be expensive.
Recent optimizations include:
- world data generation tuning for bulk operations
- croppers generation batching and progress streaming
- safer DB/session handling during installer workflows
For production-like loads, monitor:
- DB CPU and slow queries
- PHP-FPM/Apache worker limits
- disk I/O during installer and reset operations
## Troubleshooting
Common checks:
1. If installer cannot connect to DB:
- verify `DB_HOST`, port, user and password
- in Docker, host should be `db`, not `localhost`
2. If permissions fail during install:
- ensure web user can write required runtime files/folders
3. If pages show warnings after PHP upgrade:
- ensure latest code is deployed
- clear opcode/cache and retry
For container-specific troubleshooting, see [DOCKER_README.md](DOCKER_README.md).
## Development
Useful commands:
```bash
# Start stack
docker compose up -d
# Logs
docker compose logs -f web
# Validate PHP files
find . -name '*.php' -not -path './var/*' -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 php -l
```
