## API Development setup
## Running locally
### 1. Download the game
> [!NOTE]
> If you've already done all steps previously, you can skip to Step 7.
If you are enrolled into the closed beta, you can download a fresh copy with [SteamRE/DepotDownloader](https://github.com/SteamRE/DepotDownloader).
### 1. Prerequisites
```
.\DepotDownloader.exe -app 1600360 -depot 1600361 -manifest 720055916602660127 -username <username>
```
Before you start, you'll need the following software downloaded and installed:
This gives you the [exact copy](https://steamdb.info/depot/1600361/history/?changeid=M:720055916602660127) that is used for this repository.
1. [MongoDB Community Edition](https://fastdl.mongodb.org/windows/mongodb-windows-x86_64-8.0.4-signed.msi).
### 2. Download the latest launcher
1. [Latest `Prospect.Server.Api`](https://github.com/deiteris/Prospect/releases) from the Releases section
Navigate to the [latest successful](https://github.com/AeonLucid/Prospect/actions) build. Extract the launcher files to a directory.
1. [.NET Runtime 8.0](https://aka.ms/dotnet-core-applaunch?missing_runtime=true&arch=x64&rid=win-x64&os=win10&apphost_version=8.0.11) installed.
Run the launcher with the first argument being the path of step 1.
```
./Prospect.Launcher.exe "E:\Depots\depots\1600361\7593680"
```
1. [ASP.NET Core 8.0](https://aka.ms/dotnet-core-applaunch?framework=Microsoft.AspNetCore.App&framework_version=8.0.0&arch=x64&rid=win-x64&os=win10) installed.
### 3. Clone the repository
1. A compatible The Cycle: Frontier game client. The server works with:
```
git clone https://github.com/AeonLucid/Prospect.git
```
1. The latest version from [Steam](https://steamcommunity.com/app/868270).
### 4. Open the solution
1. Season 2 client downloaded from SteamDB using a depot downloader. For example, [version 2.7.2](https://steamdb.info/depot/868271/history/?changeid=M:4623363103423775682).
Open the `src/Prospect.sln` in either Rider or Visual Studio.
### 2. Unpack `Prospect.Server.Api`
Use your favorite ZIP archiver and unzip the `Prospect.Server.Api.zip` downloaded from this repository.
### 3. Patch hosts
To be able to connect to the locally running server, you must replace the IP address of `2EA46.playfabapi.com` that the game uses. Do the following:
1. Open Notepad as Administrator.
1. Click **File** > **Open...** and select `C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts`.
1. At the end of the file, add `127.0.0.1 2EA46.playfabapi.com` on a new line.
### 4. Generate and import SSL certificate
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Do not share the generated certificate! Generated certificate includes a private key that may be used to generate other certificates and compromise your security.
A connection to the server is served over a secured connection. The server uses self-signed certificate that must be added to trusted authorities in order for the game
to successfully communicate with the local server. Do the following:
1. Open the folder with `Prospect.Server.Api`.
1. Double-click `generate_ssl.exe`. `certificate.pfx` will appear in the same folder.
1. Double-click `certificate.pfx`. The Certificate Import Wizard will open:
1. Select **Current User** under Store Location and click **Next**.
1. Leave **File to Import** unchanged and click **Next**.
1. Leave **Password** empty and click **Next**.
1. Select **Place all certificates in the following store** > **Browse...**. Choose **Trusted Root Certification Authorities** and click **OK**. Click **Next**.
1. Click **Finish**. A Security Warning popup may appear, make sure it specifies `2EA46.playfabapi.com` certification authority and click **Yes**.
### 5. Add `steam_appid` to the game
1. Open the folder with The Cycle: Frontier and navigate to **Prospect** > **Binaries** > **Win64**.
1. Right-click in the folder > **New** > **Text Document**, and name it `steam_appid`.
1. Open `steam_appid` and enter `480`.
1. Save and close the file.
### 6. Create a game shortcut with specified arguments
1. Open the folder with The Cycle: Frontier and navigate to **Prospect** > **Binaries** > **Win64**.
1. Right-click `Prospect-Win64-Shipping.exe` > **Create Shortcut**.
1. Right-click the created shortcut > **Properties**.
1. In the **Target** field, add the following parameters after the quote ` -empty -server -log -windowed -noeac -nointro -steam_auth PF_TITLEID=2EA46`. Note the space after the quote.
1. Move the shortcut to desktop.
### 7. Run the server
Now you are all set! Open the folder with `Prospect.Server.Api` and run `Prospect.Server.Api.exe`.
### 8. Run the game
Once the server is running, make sure that Steam is running and open The Cycle: Frontier using the shortcut you've created before.
### Troubleshooting and FAQ
#### How to remove the certificate?
If you've installed the certificate for the **Current User**:
1. Open **Start** and enter `certmgr.msc`.
1. Expand **Trusted Root Certification Authorities** and select **Certificates**.
1. Find `2EA46.playfabapi.com`, right-click it > **Delete**.
If you've installed the certificate for the **Local Machine**, repeat the same steps but instead open `certlm.msc`.
#### `generate_ssl.exe` is flagged as a virus
`generate_ssl.exe` is a Python application packed with PyInstaller and some anti-viruses may flag it as a virus.
This application is a simple certificate generator and you can find its source code in `utils/generate_ssl.py`.
#### Body parts are missing with Season 3 client
Currently, the server loads body part IDs for Season 2 by default, so this is expected. You can fix this by going to station and changing your character appearance. This will store the updated body part IDs for your character.
