Adds LAN server discovery and a Local tab in the multiplayer UI so clients can find relays on the same LAN. Introduces a new F4T::LanDiscovery module (plugin/include/F4TLanDiscovery.h, plugin/src/F4TLanDiscovery.cpp) that probes LAN hosts via UDP discover (port 7778) and TCP welcome fallback (port 7777). Server-side support includes a UDP responder (server/lan_discovery.py) and integration in server_core.py to start/stop discovery. Plugin changes (F4TServerBrowserBridge/Data) add background scanning, dispatch results to the game thread, new local-server storage and events (scanLocalServers, localServersUpdated, localScanStarted/localScanFinished), and small join/recent handling updates. UI changes (ui/.../app.js and components) add localServers state, scanning UX, Recent persistence (localStorage), and join logic for local/direct entries. Docs updated (docs/protocol.md, docs/dev-log.md, server/README.md) and build script links iphlpapi. Also removes two unused exported sprite PNGs.
Commonwealth Online Plugin
This is the native Commonwealth Online F4SE plugin using CommonLibF4.
Requirements
- XMake [3.0.0+]
- C++23 Compiler (MSVC or Clang-CL)
Getting Started
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/libxse/Fallout4Together
cd Fallout4Together
Build
To build the project, run the following command:
xmake build
Note: This will generate a
build/windows/directory in the project's root directory with the build output.
Build Output (Optional)
If you want to redirect the build output, set one of the following environment variables:
-
Path to a Mod Manager mods folder:
XSE_FO4_MODS_PATHor
-
Path to a Fallout 4 install folder:
XSE_FO4_GAME_PATH
Project Generation (Optional)
If you use Visual Studio, run the following command:
xmake project -k vsxmake
Note: This will generate a
vsxmakeXXXX/directory in the project's root directory using the latest version of Visual Studio installed on the system.
Alternatively, if you do not use Visual Studio, you can generate a compile_commands.json file for use with a laguage server like clangd in any code editor that supports it, like vscode:
xmake project -k compile_commands
Note: You must have a language server extension installed to make use of this file. I recommend
clangd. Do not have more than one installed at a time as they will conflict with each other. I also recommend installing thexmakeextension if available to make building the project easier.
Upgrading Packages (Optional)
If you want to upgrade the project's dependencies, run the following commands:
xmake repo --update
xmake require --upgrade
