As of right now Fortress is in it's Beta Stages so expect something to go wrong if you encounter any bugs dm me (RazerFrFr) on discord and i will try to maintain this backend and keep it stable.

Building & Running

You can get a release from the releases tab and run either start.bat or start.sh to start the backend or open a cmd window and run

java -jar Fortress-all.jar

Or if you want to build or run the project from source, use one of the following tasks:

Task	Description
./gradlew build	Build the project
./gradlew run	Run the server

If the server starts successfully, you'll see the following output:

2024-12-04 14:32:45.584 [main] INFO  Application - Application started in 0.303 seconds.
2024-12-04 14:32:45.682 [main] INFO  Application - Responding at http://0.0.0.0:8080

Arguments

These are some custom arguments to tweak the backend without recompiling it:

• -matchmakerAddress=<matchmaker-address>: overriding the default matchmaker address ws://127.0.0.1:8080/matchmaker with a custom one.
• -gameserverAddress=<gameserver-address>: overriding the default assigned gameserver address 127.0.0.1:7777 if no matchmaking code is entered.
• -userCustomCloudStorage: uses custom .ini files inside ./cloudstorage/system instead of the default bundled ones by default (may also dump .ini files inside that directory if no .ini files are found).
