Lots of file edits because I also created SWGColor and used in relevant places. It contains commonly used colors for flytexts, so we don't need to look them up each time. There are way more colors than the ones I added, but I figure it makes sense to add them as we go along.

- Efficient use of system resources and solid performance
Setting up a development environment
Ready to help bring back an awesome MMORPG with your programming skills?
Java Development Kit
In order to compile the source code, you need a JDK installation on your machine. The JAVA_HOME environment variable
should point to the directory of the JDK! It should be version 13 as minimum. You can see your installed Java version
by running java -version.
Submodules
The project uses submodules. Get them by running: git submodule update --init
MongoDB
User information is read from a MongoDB database that can be run on any machine on your network. Default is the machine that Holocore is running on.
- Create database:
use cu - Create a user for Holocore:
db.createUser({user: "holocore", pwd: "pass", roles: []}) - Create your game user:
db.users.insert({username: "user", password: "pass", accessLevel: "dev", banned: false, characters: []})
Enabling the Character Builder Terminals:
- Switch to the relevant database:
use cu - Enable the character builder:
db.config.insertOne({ "package": "support.data.dev", "characterBuilder": true })
Running Holocore
Compile and run Holocores main code using Gradle: ./gradlew run
Running automated tests
Compile and run Holocores automated tests using Gradle: ./gradlew test --info
