<h1>Portal And Server<a class="headerlink" href="#portal-and-server" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
|
|
<p>Evennia consists of two processes, known as <em>Portal</em> and <em>Server</em>. They can be controlled from
|
|
inside the game or from the command line as described <a class="reference internal" href="../Setup/Running-Evennia.html"><span class="doc std std-doc">in the Running-Evennia doc</span></a>.</p>
|
|
<p>In short, the Portal knows everything about internet protocols (telnet, websockets etc), but knows very little about the game.</p>
|
|
<p>In contrast, the Server knows everything about the game. It knows that a player has connected but now <em>how</em> they connected.</p>
|
|
<p>The effect of this is that you can fully <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">reload</span></code> the Server and have players still connected to the game. One the server comes back up, it will re-connect to the Portal and re-sync all players as if nothing happened.</p>

<p>The Server and Portal are glued together via an AMP (Asynchronous Messaging Protocol) connection. This allows the two programs to communicate seamlessly on the same machine.</p>
