Development

Northstar’s main development is split across these subdirectories

1. launcher (Code for the C++ hook DLL)
2. mods (Code for the squirrel mods responsible for server gamelogic recreation and custom content)
3. plugins (Plugins for the northstar)
4. docs (Wiki covering installation, hosting and configuration of Northstar, as well as guides and tutorials on how to mod using Northstar)

Other Repos also exist for projects which don’t follow a normal release schedule

1. NorthstarStubs (D3D11 and GFSDK stubs for the Northstar dedicated server)
2. NorthstarNavs (Custom navmesh files used for AI navigation)
3. Atlas (Backend API for server browser, player authentication, and persistence)
4. NorthstarTF (Main website)

Special Thanks

Thanks to everyone that’s put up with me and helped out with this project, it’s been a fun passion project I’ve had throughout 2021 so releasing it is pretty cathartic. Specifically:

• Thanks to the Icepick developers for making the Icepick, I initially forked it for earlier versions of Northstar and it was a great base to experiment with stuff on before moving to the custom launcher.
• Thanks to everyone on R5R team for giving me advice on some later parts of development.
• Thanks to everyone in the testing server for putting up with me and helping find bugs.
• Thanks to everyone else that’s helped, gave advice, all that.
