ModernUO Emulator

`Core.DoKill(true)` built the relaunch command line by putting the assembly path into a raw argument string without quotes, so `dotnet` split it at the first space. That breaks `restart`, `AutoRestart` and `CrashGuard` recovery for any server installed under a path with a space. - Pass the assembly path through `ProcessStartInfo.ArgumentList`, which quotes it. - Relaunch through the host that started the process (`Environment.ProcessPath`): the `ModernUO` apphost runs directly, and `dotnet` gets the assembly path. Before this, a server started from the apphost came back under `dotnet`. - Use one code path on all platforms. `UseShellExecute = true` on Unix made no difference for a program found on PATH. This doesn't fix the second half of #2700, where the relaunched server loses the console (and gets killed under systemd or Docker). That comes from the server spawning a copy of itself and exiting, and a follow-up PR will add an opt-in restart exit code for a supervisor to act on. **Testing:** relaunched from a directory with spaces, started both through `dotnet x.dll` and through the apphost, on Windows. The old code fails there with the error from the issue. |

Development
Supported IDEs
Getting Started
- Install prerequisite requirements
- Clone this repository (or download the latest):
git clone https://github.com/modernuo/ModernUO.git
- Open
ModernUO.slnto start developing
Building/Publishing
Interactive Mode (Recommended for new users)
Run ./publish.cmd (Windows) or ./publish.sh (Linux/macOS) with no arguments to launch the guided build tool. It will:
- Check prerequisites (.NET SDK, native libraries)
- Walk you through configuration and platform selection
- Build and publish the server to the
Distributiondirectory - Show deployment instructions for cross-compiled builds
Command Line
./publish.cmd [release|debug] [os] [arch]
os- Supported operating systemsarchx64- Intel/AMD 64-bitarm64- ARM 64-bit
Linux Prerequisites
Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, AlmaLinux, Rocky, etc
dnf upgrade --refresh -y
# RHEL-family distributions (CentOS Stream, AlmaLinux, Rocky, RHEL) need CRB and EPEL enabled.
# Fedora skips this block.
dnf install -y dnf-plugins-core
dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb
dnf install -y epel-release
# Prerequisites
dnf install -y findutils libicu libdeflate libargon2 tzdata
Ubuntu, Debian, etc
apt-get update -y
# The ICU runtime package carries the ABI version in its name (libicu74, libicu76, …) and has no
# stable alias, so match it by pattern rather than pinning a release-specific name.
apt-get install -y '^libicu[0-9]+$' libdeflate0 libargon2-1 tzdata
Only the runtime libraries are needed — the -dev/-devel packages are not. Run
./build-tool --check-prereqs to check the current machine and print the exact packages your
release needs.
zstd is not listed because ZstdNet bundles libzstd for every platform, and liburing is not
listed because IORingGroup issues io_uring syscalls directly.
If the shard's configured time zone is a legacy alias such as US/Eastern, Debian 12 and Ubuntu
24.04 also need tzdata-legacy. See Platform Prerequisites
for what each dependency is for and what breaks without it.
OSX Requirements
brew install icu4c libdeflate argon2
Running the Server
- Follow the publish instructions
- The
Distributiondirectory is portable — copy it to your production server for deployment - Run
ModernUO.exeordotnet ModernUO.dllfrom theDistributiondirectory - On first run, the server will prompt you to configure game data file locations
