Starbase Reloaded
Starbase Reloaded is an add-on for VGA Planets, modeled after the
StarbasePlus add-on. See PLAYER.md for player documentation.
You need the PHost development kit (PDK) that is available here:
http://phost-contrib.sourceforge.net
If you just want it compiled, and that’s it, use the enclosed
Makefile. Adjust the variables at the top and type make.
If you want to seriously modify it, use the Makefile generator
from https://github.com/stefanreuther/accidental-build. Create a
build directory, and type
/path/to/Make.pl IN=/path/to/sbreload PDK_DIR=/path/to/pdkmake
This will create a Makefile suited for development, which does
automatic dependencies, automatic rebuild on rule change, and
out-of-tree build.
In any case, the build result will be a binary sbreload that is the
entire add-on.
So far, Starbase Reloaded has been tested only on Linux with PHost.
Starbase Reloaded needs to be invoked from AUXHOST1.INI and
AUXHOST2.INI. Invoke as
sbreload 1 path/to/gamesbreload 2 path/to/game
from the respective location.
Starbase Reloaded will take a configuration file psbplus.src from
the game directory. You can use sbreload -dc on an empty directory
to print a list of configuration options with defaults. See PLAYER.md
for descriptions of the options.
Starbase Reloaded will store state in a file psbplus.hst in the game
directory.
This add-on re-implements ideas from the classic StarbasePlus add-on,
and took inspiration from the earlier (but incomplete) implementationpstarbase. It uses the same file formats as the latter.
