openspades

What is it?

OpenSpades is a compatible client of Ace of Spades 0.75.

• Can connect to a vanilla/pyspades/pysnip server.
• Uses OpenGL/AL for better visuals.
• Open source, and cross platform.

Installation

On Linux

GCC 4.8 / Clang 3.2 or later is recommended because OpenSpades relies on C++11 features heavily.

1. Install dependencies:

   On Debian-derived distributions: sudo apt-get install pkg-config libglew-dev libcurl3-openssl-dev libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libalut-dev (because of a bug in some distributions, you might also have to install more packages by sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev libxinerama-dev libxft-dev)

   On other distributions: Install corresponding packages from your repository (or compile from source).

2. Download & install SDL-2.0.2

   wget http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL2-2.0.2.tar.gz
   tar -zxvf SDL2-2.0.2.tar.gz
   cd SDL2-2.0.2/
   ./configure && make && sudo make install
   cd ../

   Additional dependencies may be required.

3. Download & install SDL2_image-2.0.0

   wget https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/release/SDL2_image-2.0.0.tar.gz
   tar -zxvf SDL2_image-2.0.0.tar.gz
   cd SDL2_image-2.0.0/
   ./configure --disable-png-shared && make && sudo make install
   cd ../

   Additional dependencies may be required.

4. Clone OpenSpades repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yvt/openspades.git && cd openspades

5. Create directory openspades.mk in cloned/downloaded openspades repo and compile:

   mkdir openspades.mk
   cd openspades.mk
   cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release && make

6. Install openspades:

   sudo make install

   note: make install broken in old releases

7. Get shared files:

   • If you compiling certain release (0.0.10 for example):

     Download windows binary of OpenSpades from https://sites.google.com/a/yvt.jp/openspades/downloads, extract it, and copy the .pak files inside Resources directory into /usr/local/share/games/openspades/Resources or $XDG_DATA_HOME/openspades/Resources. If there were some files in these directories, you probably should remove them.

     note: use ~/.openspades/Resources in old releases.

   • If you compiling straight from source (git clone):

     All needed resources would be downloaded while make install, so no need to worry.

     If you didn't launched make install, you can install resources manually. See Resources/PakLocation.txt to find out where get latest shared files. Download, extract, and place them into /usr/local/share/games/openspades/Resources or $XDG_DATA_HOME/openspades/Resources

8. Launch:

   openspades or cd $REPO_DIRECTORY; ./openspades.mk/bin/OpenSpades and enjoy

On Windows (with visual studio)

1. Get CMake, Visual Studio 2013 (Express), and the OpenSpades source. Official: https://github.com/yvt/openspades Unofficial: https://github.com/learn-more/openspades
2. Extract or checkout the source (all examples will assume E:/Projects/openspades, update paths in the examples to reflect yours)
3. Get (pre-compiled) copies of fltk, glew, curl, sdl2 and zlib, and place them in E:/Projects/openspades/Sources/Externals. See the file E:/Projects/openspades/Sources/Externals/readme.txt for details (and a pre-compiled set of libraries).
4. Run CMake, using the paths: Source: E:/Projects/openspades Binaries: E:/Projects/openspades/OpenSpades.msvc For your convenience, create the directory: E:/Projects/openspades/OpenSpades.msvc/os.Resources, extract the resources (.pak files) to this dir, set OPENSPADES_RESDIR to point to this directory. (Run CMake again, now when running debug builds openspades will also read resources from this dir)
5. Open E:/Projects/openspades/OpenSpades.msvc/OpenSpades.sln in visual studio.

On Mac OS X (with Xcode)

1. Get the latest version of Xcode and OpenSpades source.
2. Download and install SDL2 development libraries for OS X to /Library/Frameworks.
3. Download and install SDL2_image development libraries for OS X to /Library/Frameworks.
4. Download OS X release of OpenSpades, show the package contents, and copy libysrspades.dylib to the root of OpenSpades source tree.
5. Open OpenSpades.xcodeproj and build.
