Outsider v0.2.0

Prebuilt runtimes for Windows, macOS and Linux (x64 and ARM64). Each archive holds the
outsider executable and the shims/ directory it loads before the game;
keep them together.

Download	Runs on	Graphics
outsider-*-windows-x64.zip	Windows 10/11 x64	D3D12
outsider-*-macos-universal.tar.gz	macOS 11+, Apple Silicon and Intel	Metal
outsider-*-linux-x64.tar.gz	glibc 2.35+ (Ubuntu 22.04 and newer)	Vulkan
outsider-*-linux-arm64.tar.gz	glibc 2.35+ on ARM64 (Raspberry Pi 5, Ampere, Apple Silicon VMs)	Vulkan

Running a game

./outsider "/path/to/RPG Maker MZ project"

The project directory is the usual one: js/, data/, img/, audio/,
fonts/. With no argument the runtime looks for a game/ folder next to the
executable.

A game with encrypted assets, M4A audio or movies needs converting first,
which is tools/resource_converter.py from the source tree and needs Python:

python3 tools/resource_converter.py "/path/to/game" converted/
./outsider converted/

These binaries are not code-signed

Nothing here is signed with a Microsoft or Apple certificate, so both systems
will object the first time.

• Windows shows a SmartScreen warning. More info → Run anyway.

• macOS quarantines the download. Either clear it,

  xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine outsider

  or right-click the executable and choose Open, which offers to run it once.

• Linux needs a Vulkan driver for the GPU it is running on
  (mesa-vulkan-drivers covers AMD and Intel; NVIDIA ships its own).

Known limitations

• PIXI filters beyond ColorMatrix, Blur and Alpha accept their parameters but
  produce no visual effect. GLSL a plugin supplies is compiled at run time and
  does work.
• M4A audio must be converted to OGG and movies to MPEG-1; the packaging tool
  does both with ffmpeg.
• QuickJS rejects assignment to a static class field that defines only a
  getter; the plugin logs an error and carries on.

See the README for
building from source, packaging a distribution and the full compatibility
notes.
