If you are setting the server up for the first time, we recommend you to start with a stable build. See Initial Setup for information on how to set the server up.
MHServerEmu is in active development. Currently it features:
-
Playing as any hero available in version 1.52.
-
Basic combat mechanics: using powers, dealing direct damage to enemies. More complex powers, such as those that rely on debuff effects or summoned allies, are currently not implemented.
-
Leveling from 1 to 60 with working dynamic combat level (enemy level scaling).
-
Summoning team-ups and vanity pets.
-
AI system for non-playable characters, such as enemies and team-ups.
-
Fully-featured implementation of DRAG (dynamic random area generator) with procedural enemy population spawning.
-
Implementation of the loot system that uses the original loot tables for picking quality and base types, as well as rolling random affixes.
-
SQLite-based persistence layer for saving accounts, player data, avatars, items, and more. An optional JSON mode for offline single-player is also available.
-
Multiplayer functionality: you can see and interact with other players connected to the same server in hubs and public combat zones. Parties and coop in private instances are currently not implemented.
