# Project Lighthouse
Project Lighthouse is an umbrella project for all work to investigate and develop private servers for LittleBigPlanet.
This project is the main server component that LittleBigPlanet games connect to.
## WARNING!
This is beta software, and thus is not ready for public use yet.
We're not responsible if someone connects and hacks your entire machine and deletes all your files.

Even so, this is not ready for public use yet. That said, feel free to develop privately!

## Building
This will be written when we're out of beta. Consider this your barrier to entry ;).
## Running
Lighthouse requires a MySQL database at this time.
For Linux users running docker, one can be set up using the `docker-compose.yml` file in the root of the project folder.

Once you've gotten MySQL running you can run Lighthouse. It will take care of the rest.
## Connecting
PS3 is difficult to set up, so I will be going over how to set up RPCS3 instead. A guide will be coming for PS3 closer to release.
You can also follow this guide if you want to learn how to modify your EBOOT.
*Note: This requires a modified copy of RPCS3. You can find a working patch [here](https://gist.github.com/jvyden/0d9619f7dd3dbc49f7583486bdacad75).*
Start by getting a copy of LittleBigPlanet 2 installed. It can be digital (NPUA80662) or disc (BCUS98245).
I won't get into how because if you got this far you should already know what you're doing. For those that don't, the [RPCS3 Quickstart Guide](https://rpcs3.net/quickstart) should cover it.
Next, download and compile [UnionPatcher](https://github.com/LBPUnion/UnionPatcher/). Binaries can be found by reading the README.md file.
Next, download [UnionPatcher](https://github.com/LBPUnion/UnionPatcher/). Binaries can be found by reading the README.md file.
You should have everything you need now, so open up RPCS3 and go to Utilities -> Decrypt PS3 Binaries. Point this to `rpcs3/dev_hdd0/game/(title id)/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN`.
This should give you a file named `EBOOT.elf` in the same folder. Next, fire up UnionPatcher (making sure to select the correct project to start, e.g. on Mac launch `UnionPatcher.Gui.MacOS`.)
You can start patching now. Select the `EBOOT.elf` you got earlier in the top box, enter `http://localhost:10060/LITTLEBIGPLANETPS3_XML` in the second, and the output filename in the third.
Now that you have your decrypted eboot, open UnionPatcher and select the `EBOOT.elf` you got earlier in the top box, enter `http://localhost:10060/LITTLEBIGPLANETPS3_XML` in the second, and the output filename in the third.
For this guide I'll use `EBOOTlocalhost.elf`.
Now, copy the `EBOOTlocalhost.elf` file to where you got your `EBOOT.elf` file from, and you're now good to go.

Assuming you are running the patched version of RPCS3, you patched the file correctly, the database is migrated, and Lighthouse is running, the game should now connect.
Take a break.
Finally, take a break. Chances are that took a while.
## Contributing Tips
### Database
Some modifications may require updates to the database schema. You can automatically create a migration file by:
1. Making sure the tools are installed. You can do this by running `dotnet tool restore`.
2. Making sure `LIGHTHOUSE_DB_CONNECTION_STRING` is set correctly. See the `Running` section for more details.
3. Making your changes to the database. I wont cover this since if you're making database changes you should know what you're doing.

4. Running `dotnet ef migrations add <NameOfMigrationInPascalCase> --project ProjectLighthouse`.
