Introduce a localhost-only networking milestone and a tiny Python test server to verify packet flow from the plugin to an external process. Added F4T::Networking API (include and src) which uses non-blocking Winsock to connect to 127.0.0.1:7777, send JSON newline-separated transform packets, and handle reconnect/backoff and disconnects safely. Plugin changes: call ConnectToLocalServer() at load, register DisconnectFromLocalServer on exit, and send transform packets from main.cpp when logging player movement. Build: xmake updated to include new headers and link ws2_32. Server: server/server.py implements a simple multi-client TCP server that prints parsed transform packets; server/README.md and docs/dev-log.md updated to document the test setup and results. All networking failures are non-fatal so the game continues if the server isn't running.
Fallout4Together Plugin
This is the native Fallout4Together 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
