# OpenStarbound
2023-09-05 22:44:28 +00:00
This is a fork of Starbound. Contributions are welcome!
2023-09-05 08:48:10 +00:00
You **must** own a copy of Starbound to use it. Base game assets are not provided for obvious reasons.
2024-02-20 23:15:17 +00:00
It is still **work-in-progress**. You can download the latest test build [here](https://github.com/OpenStarbound/OpenStarbound/releases/latest).
2023-09-05 08:48:10 +00:00
Changes:
* You can now make .patch files that are just merged in. That's why the patch files in here are unusually simple.
* Some Lua functions like getters and setters for player identity values, but not every function from [StarExtensions](https://github.com/StarExtensions/StarExtensions) has been ported yet.
2023-09-05 09:39:26 +00:00
* Character swapping (rewrite from StarExtensions, currently command-only: `/swap name` case-insensitive, only substring required)
2023-09-05 08:48:10 +00:00
* Custom user input support with a keybindings menu (rewrite from StarExtensions)
* Positional Voice Chat that works on completely vanilla servers, uses Opus for crisp, HD audio (rewrite from StarExtensions)
* Both menus are made available in the options menu in this fork rather than as a chat command.
* Multiple font support (switch fonts inline with `^font=name;`, .ttf assets are auto-detected)
2023-09-05 09:40:29 +00:00
* World lightmap generation has been moved off the main thread
2023-09-05 08:48:10 +00:00
* Experimental changes to the storage of directives in memory to greatly reduce their impact on frametimes
* Works well when extremely long directives are used for "vanilla multiplayer-compatible" creations, like [generated clothing](https://silverfeelin.github.io/Starbound-NgOutfitGenerator/).
* Client-side tile placement prediction (rewrite from StarExtensions)
* You can also resize the placement area of tiles on the fly.
* Support for placing foreground tiles with a custom collision type (rewrite from StarExtensions, requires OpenSB server)
* Additionally, objects can be placed under non-solid foreground tiles.
* Some minor polish to UI

* Skybox sun now matches the system type you're currently in. Previously generated planets will not have this feature and will display the default sun. Modded system types require a patch to display their custom sun. Additionally, you can also access now skybox sun scale and its default ray colors. For more details see [sky.config.patch](https://github.com/OpenStarbound/OpenStarbound/blob/main/assets/opensb/sky.config.patch).
