SetPassword derives a full Argon2 hash, so the [password command, the admin gump, account creation and the XML import each cost ~8.9 ms of frozen world. Only the login verify had been moved. DRY-ing the two paths surfaced a correctness trap rather than just shared code. ApplyPasswordUpgrade guarded by comparing the stored hash, which is right for a login rehash -- do not clobber a newer password with a rehash of the one it superseded -- but wrong for an explicit change: two changes dispatched before either landed would drop the second and silently keep the older password. Ordering is now a per-account dispatch sequence claimed on the loop, which gives "newest wins" for both callers through one mechanism. SetPassword bumps it as well, so an inline write also supersedes an in-flight one. One job type serves both: PasswordJob carries an optional verify phrase and an optional hash phrase plus an OnComplete that runs on the loop, so a login verifies and may rehash while a password change only hashes. The class is PasswordWorker now, since verification no longer describes what it does. PasswordWorker.SetPassword is the single entry point and falls back to hashing inline when the gate is off or the queue is saturated -- unlike a login, a password change must never be silently dropped, and it is rare enough that the loop can absorb one. The [password confirmation moves into the callback, because off the loop it has not happened when the call returns. Account creation stays inline: it gates the login flow, so deferring it restructures the accept path. |

ModernUO

Ultima Online Server Emulator for the modern era!
Requirements
Supported Operating Systems
Required Frameworks
All Operating Systems
Windows
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
