A remake of the Odyssey Game Engine that powered KotOR I & II written in JS (TypeScript)

KotOR.js is a TypeScript-based reimplementation of the Odyssey Game Engine that powered the original Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KotOR) and its sequel, KotOR II: The Sith Lords (TSL). The project aims to support the complete feature set of the original engine. While still in the early stages of development, many systems are already online in some form or fashion.

In addition to the game engine, the project includes an early attempt at a modding suite called KotOR Forge.

• The code has been re-written in TypeScript and compiles down into JavaScript.
• THREE.js is used for the base of the rendering engine.
• Electron is used to package and publish a desktop application.

The following games are currently supported:

• Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (PC)
• Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II The Sith Lords (PC)

You will need a valid copy of either KotOR I or KotOR II installed on your system if you want to use KotOR.js to interface with the files of either game. No game files are distributed with this project.

The recent transition to TypeScript has brought many improvements to the codebase, including Chrome support. When the project is compiled, the contents of the dist folder can be uploaded to a web server. The only requirement is that the site must be accessed from behind a valid SSL certificate. Using the latest version of Chrome is recommended.

To get started as a developer, follow these steps:

2. Clone the KotOR.js repository.
3. Install the npm dependencies.

4. Run the build command
