Assorted directory for compatibility fixes, useful tidbits, etc.

The Obvious Disclaimer

c3ds-projects contributors are in no way affiliated with Creature Labs, this is all unofficial, and it might turn your hair blue.

Contents

• aquarium: Reliability testing tool
• assorted-caos: Random dumping ground for CAOS
• caosproxy: specification & tools for OS-independent and easier to access interconnect between tooling & the game
• cdsp-common: Java library used by Natsue and RAL
• cdsp-tools: A place for further Java-based tools
• ciesetup: CIE setup improvements (Now containing Docker!)
• colour-depth-fix: improves Linux & Mac compatibilty of Docking Station through renderer patching
• creature-monitor-gd: tool for monitoring creatures that is hopefully more reliable than alternatives
• efw-integration: Integration assets for the eem.foo server (severely "work in progress" i.e. there's literally nothing there right now)
• natsue: Babel protocol server
• tob: Babel protocol documentation attempt
• ral: 'Experimental' language compiling to CAOS
• rust: Rust libraries/etc. for this repository go here.

Where to put things and how to write them

• CLI
  • CLI tools with performance or external dependency requirements should be written in Rust and go in the rust section.
  • Otherwise, most CLI tools should be written in Python and go in the python section.
• GUI
  • GUI tools should be written in Java. Godot 3.x is an option but is costly build-time-wise.
    • The underlying library code goes in cdsp-common for use across the Java projects.
• caosprox, ciesetup
  • Code specifically meant to interface with native code in a specific environment should be written in whatever way reduces install dependencies. In practice, this means that it's written in C and compiled only for the target(s). Wine or other such layers are expected to be used as necessary.
• Blender, age/breed DB, etc.
  • Anything that needs to touch Blender has to be written in Python, as native dependencies are untenable.
  • The age/breed DB solely exists in Python right now. It might be an idea to move it to something else, but for now this is what you get; the alternatives seem to be worse in various important ways. Unironically considering a TSV file.
• Common Code
  • All common Java code goes in cdsp-common.
  • All common Python code goes in python.
  • Common Rust code mostly goes in libkc3ds, except norncli.

Some parts of this repository use third-party dependencies (which are not included in the source of this repository), in particular:

• creature-monitor-gd uses Godot Engine ( https://godotengine.org/ ) and dependencies thereof.
• natsue by default is packaged with sqlite-jdbc, mysql-connector-java, and dependencies of these (though these do not enter c3ds-projects binary releases).
• All Java projects in this repository use JSON-java ( https://github.com/stleary/JSON-java )
  • RAL uses it for LSP support.
  • cdsp-common and by extension cdsp-tools uses it for game directory configuration.
• The libraries and programs written in Rust use Rust and the Rust Standard Library. They also use some external libraries including image.

While c3ds-projects is under CC0, these dependencies are mostly not.

• Information on Godot's licensing is given as COPYING-godot.txt in release archives, in the form roughly as reported by Godot Engine's "Third-party Licenses" panel.
• Natsue binary builds include sqlite-jdbc, mysql-connector-java, and by extension Google's protobuf library.
• JSON-java's LICENSE file is as follows: Public Domain.
• Binaries for the Rust components are not and will not be compiled or shipped at the current time due to licensing issues, see rust-lang/rust#67014
