• /ffilter lists all players with any specified flags

Command line arguments

• --version outputs the current game version
• --unittest runs the included tests to sanity check
• --server starts a server-only instance without GUI

Available archives

Linux

1. Extract the archive to any location
2. Run AppRun.sh
3. In case of issues: run with gdb. Debug symbols are included.

Windows

1. Extract the archive to any location
2. Run the executable
3. In case of issues: use a debugger such as x64dbg

Compiling

Dependencies

• CMake (cmake-gui recommended for desktops)
• Irrlicht-Mt : GUI/rendering library
• enet : networking library
• Threads (phthread?)
• SQLite3 : auth & world saving

Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt install libenet-dev libsqlite3-dev

Project compiling:

cmake -B build

Headless server compiling

1. Install the required libraries
2. Put the IrrlichtMt headers (include directory) somewhere
3. cmake -B build -DBUILD_CLIENT=0 -DIRRLICHTMT_BUILD_DIR="/path/to/irrlicht/include/"
4. cd build -> build make -j -> start ./OpenEdits-server
