## Additional Setup Information
2022-03-21 22:16:08 -04:00
2022-03-22 17:10:35 -04:00
The Ship of Harkinian uses a proprietary versioning system consisting of a sci-fi film character followed by a phonetic alphabet code word. The film character represents a major release version which increments with the addition of many new features and bug fixes. The code word represents a minor release version which increments with small updates mainly comprised of bug fixes. For example, `DECKARD ALFA`.

### The Extraction Tool
2022-03-21 22:16:08 -04:00
2022-03-22 17:10:35 -04:00
* Open a rom to initiate generating the `oot.otr` archive file.
* If a second button exists then `oot.otr` already exists. To prevent overwriting the old `oot.otr` use this button to choose a new game directory. The new directory must not already contain an `oot.otr` to prevent an error.
* When the process completes, place `oot.otr` beside `soh.exe` if it is not already.

This packaging process can take up to **5 minutes**.
2022-03-21 22:16:08 -04:00
2022-03-22 17:10:35 -04:00
Close the OTRGui when the `Done!` message appears.
If you get another message, then you might have selected the wrong rom. Make sure to use a rom consistent with the above checksum.

### Running The Ship of Harkinian
2022-03-21 22:16:08 -04:00
Launch the game. If the window immediately closes, or if there are visual artifacts, you may have selected the wrong rom in the OTRGui tool.
2022-03-21 22:16:08 -04:00
2022-03-22 17:10:35 -04:00
Currently, DirectX 11 and OpenGL is supported. Change the renderer by opening the `shipofharkinian.ini` configuration file in notepad and add `sdl` to `gfx backend` for OpenGL or leave blank for DirectX.
