funman300 d146f9c3fc host: answer club?type=equippables by default — kits now render in My Club
OPERATOR-CONFIRMED on the retail client: the My Club kit tab shows both kits, the
first time kits have ever rendered in this project.

The tab asks for `?type=equippables`, and that arm was withheld, so the screen got
an empty body and showed nothing. That is exactly what "0 kits in my club" was —
not a shaping problem, a refused question. Log line that identified it:

    route=club outcome=withheld filter=[type=equippables,
                    reason=multi_family_crash_2026_08_05] total=0 emitted=0

TWO fixes were both required, so neither alone is the cause:
  * this arm answers (KITS ONLY), and
  * GET ut/%s/item (FutViewCards) returns the OWNED INSTANCE rather than a
    definition placeholder, so the kit arrives as cardsubtypeid 9 /
    itemState active{Home,Away}Kit instead of "a free player" (d4a39ba).

The 2026-08-05 crash that motivated the withholding was 30 items across FIVE
families. This arm serves one family, and the live body is two items. Serving the
other four families here is untested and stays unserved.

Default flips from opt-in to opt-out: OPENFUT_FIFA17_EQUIPPABLES=0 restores the
withheld body with a restart and no rebuild. The switch is kept rather than
deleted because the only live evidence is a club holding exactly TWO kits; a club
holding many is untested and the original crash was about size and family mixing.

Verified with no env flag set: ?type=equippables -> 2 items, family {9}.
cargo test -p openfut-utas-host: 190 passed, 0 failed. clippy -D warnings clean.
Production untouched — staging only.

OpenFUT

⚠️ Status — see docs/PROJECT_STATE.md (canonical). The working, actively-developed target is FIFA 17, not FIFA 23. Everything below this banner describes the superseded FIFA 23 bridge lineage and is kept for historical context.

Run the server (canonical): cd fifa17-recon/docker/fifa17-python && docker compose up -d — see fifa17-recon/FUT-RUNBOOK.md. openfut-core is the shared offline backend (still used by the FIFA 17 path); openfut-bridge is the retired FIFA 23 integration.

Offline Ultimate Team — like SPT, but for FIFA 23.

OpenFUT replaces EA's retired FUT servers with a fully offline, single-player backend. You own FIFA 23 legitimately. You just want to keep playing after EA shut down the servers.

Core is game-independent. It speaks a clean REST API and knows nothing about FIFA 23 internals.

Bridge is FIFA-specific. It speaks FIFA 23's wire protocol and translates it into Core API calls. Bridge is where all reverse engineering work happens.

Running

# Start the offline backend
cd openfut-core
cargo run

# Start the proxy (for traffic capture / FIFA integration)
cd openfut-bridge
cargo run

Core listens on http://127.0.0.1:8080 by default. Bridge listens on http://127.0.0.1:8443 by default.


Design Principles

  • Offline-first. No EA account required. No internet connection needed.
  • Single-player only. This is not a multiplayer server emulator.
  • Data-driven. All cards, packs, SBCs, and objectives are JSON files. Everything is moddable.
  • Clean architecture. Core has zero knowledge of FIFA 23. Bridge has zero game logic.
  • No copyrighted assets. No real player images, no EA trademarks in data files.

Disclaimer

This project is not affiliated with EA Sports. You must own FIFA 23 legitimately to use this software. This project does not bypass any ownership verification and is intended only to restore offline playability of a game whose online services have been retired.
