# 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 very latest build from the [Actions](https://github.com/OpenStarbound/OpenStarbound/actions?query=branch%3Amain) tab, or the ocassional releases.
|
|
|
|
Note: Not every function from [StarExtensions](https://github.com/StarExtensions/StarExtensions) has been ported yet, but compatibility with mods that use StarExtensions features is planned.
|
|
|
|
## Changes
|
|
### Lighting
|
|
**The lightmap generation has been moved off the main thread, and supports higher color range.**
|
|
* Point lights are now additive, which is more accurate - you'll notice that different lights mix together better!
|
|
* Object spread lights are auto-converted to a hybrid light which is 25% additive.
|
|
|
|
### Assets
|
|
* Assets can now run Lua scripts on load, and after all sources have been loaded.
|
|
* These scripts can modify, read, patch and create new assets!
|
|
* Lua patch files now exist - **.patch.lua**
|
|
|
|
### Misc
|
|
* Player functions for saving/loading, modifying the humanoid identity
|
|
* 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** and **.woff2** assets are auto-detected)
|
|
* **.woff2** fonts are much smaller than **.ttf**, [here's a web conversion tool](https://kombu.kanejaku.org/)!
|
|
* Experimental changes to the storage of directives in memory to reduce copying - can reduce their impact on frametimes when very long directives are present
|
|
* Works especially well when extremely long directives are used for "vanilla multiplayer-compatible" creations, like [generated clothing](https://silverfeelin.github.io/Starbound-NgOutfitGenerator/) or custom items/objects.
|
|
|
|
* 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
|
|
* The Skybox's 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.
|
|
* You can also access the 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).

## Building
|
|
Note: Some [blue text](## "hi :3") only contain tooltips.
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
* Install [vcpkg](https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg?tab=readme-ov-file#quick-start-windows) *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`**](## "Environment Value") to your vcpkg dir, so that CMake can find it.
|
|
* Install [Ninja](https://ninja-build.org/ "Ninja Build System"). Either add it to your [**`PATH`**](## "Environment Value"), or just use [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/) (`scoop install ninja`)
|
|
* Check to see if your IDE has CMake support, and that it's [actually installed](## "If you're using VS, open Visual Studio Installer to install CMake.").
|
|
* 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](## "dist/") to run the client.
