### Repo Setup
|
|
|
|
* Created the Fallout 4 Together repository.
|
|
* Added the initial repository folder structure.
|
|
* Added starter Markdown documentation files.
|
|
* Added project roadmap, disclaimer, setup notes, protocol notes, and plugin planning documents.
|
|
|
|
### Current Focus
|
|
|
|
The current focus is setting up the early development environment before writing multiplayer logic.
|
|
|
|
The immediate priority is to make sure the project has:
|
|
|
|
* A documented target Fallout 4 version
|
|
* A documented F4SE version
|
|
* A chosen CommonLibF4 plugin template
|
|
* A clean Fallout 4 test profile
|
|
* A basic native plugin that can load through F4SE
|
|
|
|
### Decisions Made

|
|
|
* Project name: Fallout 4 Together
|
|
* Internal prefix: F4T
|
|

|
|
* Early test cell name: F4TTestCell01
|
|
* Early test ESP name: Fallout4Together_Test.esp
|
|
