Forge Server Extension

The Forge server extension is the Rust backend for server-side game systems. It exposes domain commands through arma-rs, runs a shared Tokio runtime, and persists durable state through SurrealDB.

This extension build targets SurrealDB 3.x.

Launch Prerequisites

Before starting the Arma server with Forge enabled:

Start SurrealDB.
Copy config.example.toml to config.toml beside forge_server_x64.dll.
Match the config.toml endpoint, namespace, database, username, and password to the running SurrealDB instance.

The extension reads configuration during startup. If SurrealDB is offline or the config values do not match, persistence-backed commands are not ready for normal gameplay.

Responsibilities

Register extension command groups for actor, bank, garage, locker, org, phone, store, task, CAD, terrain, and transport systems.
Load extension configuration from @forge_server/config.toml.
Connect to SurrealDB and apply schema modules on startup.
Keep SQF-facing command handlers thin while service crates own domain rules.

Configuration

[surreal]
endpoint = "127.0.0.1:8000"
namespace = "forge"
database = "main"
username = "root"
password = "root"
connect_timeout_ms = 5000

Status

"forge_server" callExtension ["status", []];
"forge_server" callExtension ["surreal:status", []];

Status values are initializing, connected, or failed.

Build

cargo test -p forge-server
cargo build -p forge-server
