OpenStarbound

This is a fork of Starbound. Contributions are welcome! You must own a copy of Starbound to use it. Base game assets are not provided for obvious reasons.

It is still work-in-progress. You can download the latest test build here.

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 has been ported yet.
Character swapping (rewrite from StarExtensions, currently command-only: /swap name case-insensitive, only substring required)
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)
World lightmap generation has been moved off the main thread
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.
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.

Building

Note: Some text have hover tooltips.

Windows

Install vcpkg globally.
- vcpkg recommends a short directory, such as C:\src\vcpkg or C:\dev\vcpkg.
- If you're using Visual Studio, don't forget to run vcpkg integrate install!
- Set VCPKG_ROOT to your vcpkg dir, so that CMake can find it.
Install Ninja. Either add it to your PATH, or just use Scoop (scoop install ninja)
Check to see if your IDE has CMake support, and that it's actually installed.
Open the repo directory in your IDE - it should detect the CMake project.
Build.
- You need to create a sbinit.config and manually copy DLLs from lib/windows/ to the output directory to run the client.

Linux
