A Growtopia private server using Node.js

• Node.js v16+

To setup the server, first install necessary packages & settings by

$ npm install

And congrats setup are done, simple as that! Now you just need to run the server by

$ npm run dev

Example for default .env file (Generated automatically)

ENCRYPT_SECRET=SUPERSECRET # Default encrypt secret
WEB_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1
WEB_ENV=development

Database that we currently use is SQLite3, since its easier & light. And for the SQL query builder we use Knex.js

To run the development server by

$ npm run dev

Where the heck is assets/cache.zip come from? Its basically a growtopia assets file cache that required by items.dat to load the game.

Location:

• Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%/Growtopia

Then zip the cache folder into zip & put it to assets/cache.zip.

If you encountered Updating items... then disconnected from the server randomly. Update the cache by login to Growtopia's original server & do this step again.
