# Getting Started #
|
|
|
|
System Requirements:
|
|
* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) v10.5.0
|
|
|
|
This repository is dedicated to the development of the new custom launcher for the [WesterosCraft](http://www.westeroscraft.com/) server. This project is developed primarily with [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) and the [Electron](https://electron.atom.io/) framework. For further reference you may view [the repository of the new launcher written in JavaFX/Java](https://gitlab.com/westeroscraft/WesteroscraftNewLauncher) which was discontinued. You may also view the repository of the [current launcher](https://gitlab.com/westeroscraft/westeroscraftlaunchercore), a modified fork of MCUpdater.
|
|
|
|
For authentication with Mojang, we are currently planning on using [node-mojang](https://github.com/jamen/node-mojang). This will automatically be downloaded if you follow the simple installation instructions below.
|
|
|
|
### Recommended IDE ###
|
|
|
|
The recommended IDE for this project is [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/), an open source code editor by Microsoft. This editor is available on nearly every major platform (Windows, macOS, Linux). If you choose to use another editor, such as [Atom](https://atom.io/), please gitignore the IDE specific settings directory, if it hasn't been already.
|
|
|
|
### Installation ###
|
|
|
|
To begin working on this project clone the repository and open run the following command on the command line. This will download all of the required dependencies.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
npm install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Launching #
|
|
|
|
### Command Line ###
|
|
|
|
There are several different ways to launch this project. One way is simply to run the following command on the command line.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
npm start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Visual Studio Code ###
|
|
|
|
If you use VS Code, you can run this directly from the IDE. Copy the following code into your launch.json file. This will require you to also install [Debugger for Chrome](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=msjsdiag.debugger-for-chrome).
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"version": "0.2.0",
|
|
"configurations": [
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "Debug Main Process",
|
|
"type": "node",
|
|
"request": "launch",
|
|
"cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
|
|
"runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/electron",
|
|
"windows": {
|
|
"runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/electron.cmd"
|
|
},
|
|
"args": ["."],
|
|
"console": "integratedTerminal",
|
|
"protocol": "inspector"
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "Debug Renderer Process",
|
|
"type": "chrome",
|
|
"request": "launch",
|
|
"runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/electron",
|
|
"windows": {
|
|
"runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/electron.cmd"
|
|
},
|
|
"runtimeArgs": [
|
|
"${workspaceRoot}/.",
|
|
"--remote-debugging-port=9222"
|
|
],
|
|
"webRoot": "${workspaceRoot}"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will create two launch configurations from which you can debug the launcher. The first configuration, **Debug Main Process**, will allow you to debug the main Electron process. The second configuration, **Debug Renderer Process**, will allow you to debug the rendering of web pages (ie the UI).
|
|
|
|
You can find more information [here](http://code.matsu.io/1).
|
|
|
|
### Notes on DevTools Window ###
|
|
|
|
Once you run the program, you can open the DevTools window by using the following keybind.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
ctrl + shift + i
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Please note that if you are debugging the application with VS Code and have launched the program using the **Debug Renderer Process** configuration you cannot open the DevTools window. If you attempt to do so, the program will crash. Remote debugging cannot be done with multiple DevTools clients.

# Building
|
|
|
|
Run either of the build scrips noted below. Note that each platform can only be build when running on the specific operating system. Currently investigating ways to run multi-platform builds efficiently.
|
|
|
|
### Build for Current Platform
|
|
|
|
* `npm run dist`
|
|
|
|
### Platforms Specifc Builds
|
|
|
|
* Windows x64 (win32 x64)
|
|
* `npm run dist:win`
|
|
* MacOS (darwin x64)
|
|
* `npm run dist:mac`
|
|
* Linux (linux x64)
|
|
* `npm run dist:linux`
