How To Install Openspades Mods

admin

I am RUNNING Openspades [The awesome high graphics one] On my Mac OSX Maverick Version 10.9.2, This modpack made my mouth hit the floor. I have tried to mod Open spades by clicking the application Open Spades and showing the package contents. then I go to resources and the only way to mod is to open the .pak files. On a Mac OSX there is no app that can unpack these files and pack them. Please help. I need an app or a trick that can help me open these .pak folders so I can install these awesome weapons.

As a former Mac user I understand the frustrations of installing OpenSpades mods. Because of this, I have decided to create a mod installer, which is currently very early in development, but functional. It works both on Mac and Windows at the moment, but linux support could be added if people wanted it.


P.S. The only mods i've gotten to work is DerZobbiens future pack [http://buildandshoot.com/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=11137] only the weapons by just replacing the .pak files. If that is any help.

This page will show you how to build OpenSpades

Notes

  • If you wish just to download the latest dev snapshot, you can go to the Snapshots page
  • Compiling OpenSpades can take quite some time depending on you computer settings
    • You computer may be slowed down during the build procces
    • If this happens, its recommended to leave it alone during the build proccess.

Visual Studio 2015

  • If you haven't already, install CMake for Windows
  • Download the latest source code
  • Add external sources and dependencies to OpenSpades
    • Navigate to Sources/Externals/
    • Download the external source code
    • Extract it inside Sources/Externals, merging the lib and include folders
  • Run CMake
    • Open CMake GUI
    • Set the source directory as your root of the source code (e.g E:openspades)
    • Set the build directory as Root/openspades.msvc (eg. E:openspadesopenspades.msvc).
    • Press configure button
    • If it asks to create the OpenSpades.msvc folder, confirm
    • Set the compiler as Visual Studio 14 (2015)
    • Make sure its not the 64-bit one
    • Press generate button
  • Open openspadesopenspades.msvcOpenSpades.sln in Visual Studio 2015
  • Build the solution. The recommended build type is MinSizeRel or Release for non-developers.
    • The build output will be at openspadesopenspades.msvcbinBUILD_TYPE
  • Copy all .dll files from Source/Externals/lib to the build output directory.
  • To get audio working, download a Windows release of OpenSpades, extract it, and copy the following dlls to the build output directory:
    • For OpenAL audio: openal32.dll
    • For YSR audio: YSRSpades.dll, libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll, libstdc++-6.dll, pthreadGC2.dll
  • Download the Non-free pak, extract it, and copy Nonfree/pak000-Nonfree.pak to the Resources folder inside your build output directory, which is probably E:/Projects/openspades/openspades.msvc/bin/BUILD_TYPE/Resources. You can also copy the paks contained in Official Mods/ folder of OpenSpades 0.0.12b to add more fonts and improve localization support of your build.
  • Copy Resources/PackageInfo.json to the Resources folder inside your build output directory.

Note: If you messed up the CMake process, open again the CMake gui, go to File and select Delete cache.

Debian-based distros

  • Open up your terminal of choice.

  • Install all the dependencies if you haven't already done that:

$ sudo apt-get install pkg-config libglew-dev libcurl3-openssl-dev libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libalut-dev xdg-utils libfreetype6-dev libopus-dev libopusfile-dev libjpeg-dev libxinerama-dev libxft-dev git cmake imagemagick

  • Clone the GitHub repository and cd into the repository directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/yvt/openspades

  • Create the build directory and cd into that directory:

$ mkdir openspades.mk

$ cd openspades.mk

  • Build it!

$ cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo

$ make

  • Copy the Resources directory into bin (or else the game won't launch):
    • If you want make to install it or you don't plan on distributing ignore this step.
      • If you do plan on distributing it remember to remove CMake files from Resources.

$ cp -r ./Resources ./bin/

  • Only if you want to install the game from source! Run:
    • Make sure that you're in openspades.mk!
    • Make sure that /usr/local/share/games/openspades doesn't exist, if it already exists then run sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/games/openspades.
