If you're having any trouble after reading through this `README`, feel free ask for help in the Support text channels. Please keep in mind that we do not condone piracy.

# Quick Start

The Ship does not include any copyrighted assets.  You are required to provide a supported copy of the game.

### 1. Verify your ROM dump
You can verify you have dumped a supported copy of the game by using the compatibility checker at https://ship.equipment/. If you'd prefer to manually validate your ROM dump, you can cross-reference its `sha1` hash with the hashes [here](docs/supportedHashes.json).

### 2. Download The Ship of Harkinian from [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/shipofharkinian)
The latest release is available in the most recent post in the `#downloads` channel.

### 3. Launch the Game!
#### Windows
* Extract the zip
* Launch `soh.exe`

#### Linux
* Place your supported copy of the game in the same folder as the appimage.
* Execute `soh.appimage`.  You may have to `chmod +x` the appimage via terminal.

#### macOS
* Run `soh.app`. When prompted, select your supported copy of the game.
* You should see a notification saying `Processing OTR`, then, once the process is complete, you should get a notification saying `OTR Successfully Generated`, then the game should start.

#### Nintendo Switch
* Run one of the PC releases to generate an `oot.otr` and/or `oot-mq.otr` file. After launching the game on PC, you will be able to find these files in the same directory as `soh.exe` or `soh.appimage`. On macOS, these files can be found in `/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/com.shipofharkinian.soh/`
* Copy the files to your sd card
```
sdcard
└── switch
    └── soh
        ├── oot-mq.otr
        ├── oot.otr
        ├── soh.nro
        └── soh.otr
```
* Launch via Atmosphere's `Game+R` launcher method.

### 4. Play!

Congratulations, you are now sailing with the Ship of Harkinian! Have fun!

### Graphics Backends
Currently, there are three rendering APIs supported: DirectX11 (Windows), OpenGL (all platforms), and Metal (MacOS). You can change which API to use in the `Settings` menu of the menubar, which requires a restart.  If you're having an issue with crashing, you can change the API in the `shipofharkinian.json` file by finding the line `gfxbackend:""` and changing the value to `sdl` for OpenGL. DirectX 11 is the default on Windows.

# Custom Assets

Custom assets are packed in `.otr` files. To use custom assets, place them in the `mods` folder.

If you're interested in creating and/or packing your own custom asset `.otr` files, check out the following tools:
* [**retro - OTR generator**](https://github.com/HarbourMasters64/retro)
* [**fast64 - Blender plugin**](https://github.com/HarbourMasters/fast64)

# Development
### Building

If you want to manually compile SoH, please consult the [building instructions](docs/BUILDING.md).

### Playtesting
If you want to playtest a continuous integration build, you can find them at the links below. Keep in mind that these are for playtesting only, and you will likely encounter bugs and possibly crashes. 

* [Windows](https://nightly.link/HarbourMasters/Shipwright/workflows/generate-builds/develop/soh-windows.zip)
* [macOS](https://nightly.link/HarbourMasters/Shipwright/workflows/generate-builds/develop/soh-mac.zip)
* [Linux (performance)](https://nightly.link/HarbourMasters/Shipwright/workflows/generate-builds/develop/soh-linux-performance.zip) _(requires `glibc 2.35` or newer, but will be more performant than the compatibility build.)_
* [Linux (compatibility)](https://nightly.link/HarbourMasters/Shipwright/workflows/generate-builds/develop/soh-linux-compatiblity.zip) _(compatible with most Linux distributions, but may not be as performant as the performance build.)_
* [Switch](https://nightly.link/HarbourMasters/Shipwright/workflows/generate-builds/develop/soh-switch.zip)
* [Wii U](https://nightly.link/HarbourMasters/Shipwright/workflows/generate-builds/develop/soh-wiiu.zip)
