HellSpawner is the toolset used for developing games on theOpenDiablo2 engine.

To download code use a following command:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/OpenDiablo2/hellspawner

or after pulling the source, download submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Then, you need to download go's dependencies:

In root of your project rungo get -d

Run project bygo run .

If you're using Unix-based OS, you can build project with included building script: run./build.sh

Windows users must have minGW compiler installed (x32 or x64 depending on processor bit capacity and Windows build version) and put path to minGW/bin folder to system PATH variable.

mingw-x64 installer:https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/latest/download

mingw for x32/x64 installer:https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/

See steps 3 and 4 of thisguide.

If you find something you'd like to fix that's obviously broken, create a branch, commit your code, and submit a pull request. If it's a new or missing feature you'd like to see, add an issue, and be descriptive!

If you'd like to help out and are not quite sure how, you can look through any open issues and tasks, or askfor tasks on our discord server.

We usegolangci-lint to catch lint errors, and we require all contributors to install and useit. Installation instructions can be foundhere.

The following extensions are recommended for working with this project:

• ms-vscode.go
• defaltd.go-coverage-viewer

When you open the workspace for the first time, Visual Studio Code will automatically suggest these extensions for installation.

Alternatively you can get to it by going to settingsCtrl+,, expandingExtensions and selectingGo configuration,then clicking onEdit in settings.json. Just paste that section where appropriate.

For now (start of July 2021) you can use HellSpawner to:

• create projects
• browse MPQ archives
• view following file formats:
  • DC6 and DCC - animations
  • WAV - sound files
  • TXT - data tables
• edit:
  • COF - animation data
  • TBL - font tables
  • TBL - string tables
  • TXT - text files
  • DAT - palettes
  • PL2 - palette transforms
  • DT1 - map tiles
  • DS1 - map preset
  • D2 - animation data

Much work has been made in the background, but a lot of work still has to be done for the project to be complete.

Feel free to contribute!
