First time posting here, sorry if I broke any rule, also, I am not an EGD dev

I'm currently doing a Druze game, Already conquered the Levant, parts of Egypt, most of Iraq and a huge chunk of anatolia, and I somehow stacled so many conversion bonuses my Court Chaplain converts people just by opening his mouth

On a sidenote, I somehow have subjects becoming Taoist once in a while, shouldn't have made that one chinese dude my subject :c

To my knowledge, they pretty much use google results, but there's 0 tracking whatsoever, so I didn't get inefficient search results like that time I tried Duckduckgo while also keeping my privacy intact

They also politely ask you to turn off the adblocker on them, they don't even obligate you to turn it off, you can still use it with an adblocker

(first time here, sorry if I broke any rule)

I used this, it has the documentation

https://github.com/TheC0mmand/WibWobPadaboom/blob/1.0/README.en.md

here's a little sumup of what I did with Claude to get it working, I don't guarantee it working for everyone, so I'll make clear I ain't responsible if anything bad happens or doesn't work, this said, I suggest you guys also try using some AI if you're stuck to get it working, because even if I have some basic tech literacy, it took quite a while for me

WibWobPadaboom Setup Guide (Windows) — Quick Reference

REQUIREMENTS

- WibWobPadaboom package (extract to a folder with write permissions)

- .NET SDK 8 - dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/8.0

- PostgreSQL 18 - postgresql.org/download

- Apktool (included in package as JavaTools)

- Java JDK 21 - oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads

- Android SDK Build-Tools (via Android Studio, or command-line tools only)

Verify installs (run in PowerShell):

dotnet --version

psql --version

java -version

STEP 1: POSTGRESQL

- Set a password for the postgres user during install, write it down

- No trailing spaces when copying the password into config files, it breaks auth silently

- Test connection:

psql -U postgres -h 127.0.0.1

STEP 2: CONFIGURE THE SERVER

- Copy appsettings.example.json, rename it to appsettings.Development.json

- Run ipconfig, note your local IPv4

- Fill in minimum fields:

PostgresConnectionString: Host=127.0.0.1;Port=5432;Database=wibwob;Username=postgres;Password=YOUR_PASSWORD

PublicServerURL: http://YOUR\_LOCAL\_IP:5000

IsWibWob: true

Urls: http://0.0.0.0:80;http://0.0.0.0:5000

- Use 127.0.0.1 for the Postgres host (server + DB on same machine)

- Use your real local IP for PublicServerURL (phone needs to reach it)

STEP 3: CREATE + IMPORT DATABASE

Run once, from project root:

createdb -U postgres wibwob

psql -U postgres -d wibwob -f .\WWR_BACKUP\backup_nomail.sql

psql -U postgres -d wibwob -c "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS public.mail (mail text PRIMARY KEY, currentUdkey text);"

- Don't re-import if you already have accounts

- Don't also import Database/schema.sql

STEP 4: START + TEST

- Double-click LANCER_WIBWOB.bat

- PC test: http://127.0.0.1:5000/eal/help.html

- Phone test (same WiFi): http://YOUR\_LOCAL\_IP:5000/eal/help.html

- If PC works but phone doesn't, check Windows Firewall ports 80/5000

STEP 5: BUILD CUSTOM APK

- Run CUSTOM_APK_BUILDER/WibWobApkBuilder.exe

- Fill in:

- Source APK (legally obtained English version)

- Server IP + port 5000

- Android Build-Tools folder (must contain zipalign.exe + apksigner.bat)

- Java JDK root folder

- APKTool path

- Click Build APK

COMMON ERRORS

"password authentication failed"

Trailing or extra space in password field

"Couldn't create postgres data source"

PostgresConnectionString missing or empty

"'java.exe' is not recognized"

Add C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-XX\bin to System PATH, restart the app

"Invalid Android Build-Tools folder"

You only have cmdline-tools, not build-tools yet. Run:

sdkmanager.bat "build-tools;34.0.0" --sdk_root=YOUR_PATH

"You must install or update .NET"

Read the FULL error, it names the exact framework and version needed (example: Microsoft.NETCore.App 8.0.29). Check installed runtimes:

dotnet --list-runtimes

Install the missing/newer patch version (link is usually in the error itself)

SECURITY NOTES

- Never expose PostgreSQL to the internet

- Never share appsettings.Development.json, signing keys, or account backups

- Only open needed ports, only on trusted networks

- Use a legally obtained source APK (In my case I modified a wibwob reloaded APK lmao)
