Spacebase DF-9 v2 - Space station building game

This is a community maintained fork of DoubleFine's original game, which
was open sourced May 12, 2015 under the Common Public Attribution
License (CPAL-1.0: http://opensource.org/licenses/cpal_1.0).  (See
Licensing History below for more discussion).

 
Installation
============
Linux: 

 $ ./packaging/linux_install.sh
	 
This will copy the modified game files on top of your Steam installation
of the game (after backing it up of course!)  This assumes you let Steam
install to its default location (i.e. under ~/.steam/).  If you need to
override the Steam path, this can be done with the STEAM_COMMON env
variable:
	 
  $ STEAM_COMMON="~/Foo/steam/steamapps/common/" ./packaging/linux_install.sh
	 
To restore the original game, just run:

  $ ./packaging/linux_install.sh restore
	 
Or else just direct Steam to re-install Spacebase DF-9.  Note that save
files won't necessarily be backwards compatible!

Windows:

Run the installer found on the spacebasehub.net website.

Bugs
====
Unfortunately, we're not taking bug submissions anymore as we've finished creating patches
for Spacebase DF-9. You can still find your log details below to troubleshoot.

You can find your game log at:

  Windows
  <drive>:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\SpacebaseDF9\moai_log_space.txt 

  Linux
  ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/SpacebaseDF9/moai_log_Space.txt

If you can, also attach the save game located at:

  Windows
  <drive>:\Users\<your user name>\Documents\SpacebaseDF9\saves\ 

  Linux
  ~/.local/share/doublefine/spacebasedf9/Saves/


Contributing
============
Derelict Games was at heart, a collaborative open source project, and 
welcomed community contributions.

Those wishing to do more substantial code contributions may wish to look
at our repository on gitlab. 

If you'd like to participate more deeply and directly, we would love to
thank you, but we've wrapped up contributions.

Most of the code is written in Lua using the MOAI SDK and proprietary 
libraries, and as it's a big established codebase it overall requires 
Patience and Persistence.  Artwork requires 3D modeling skills and a 
good eye for design, texturing is a plus; exports need to be in OBJ.
Content production requires a sense of humor and experience with standard 
Sci Fi tropes.  Translation work requires being able to write coherently in
more than one language.  Packaging and porting requires depth of
knowledge in how your operating system works.  Even more critical are
skills like, "Good teammanship," and "Having time to commit."


Code Style
==========
The code uses 'hungarian notation'.  For an explanation, see

  http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ericlippert/archive/2003/09/12/52989.aspx

We believe the meaning is:  n is Number, b is Boolean, t is Table, r is
Reference, e is Enum.

    We’re also pleased to announce we’ll be releasing the game’s full
    Lua source code a short time after 1.0, which will allow the
    community to create potentially far-ranging mods that add content,
    new features, and change some fundamental game behaviors.

    The game’s Lua source code is now available in the game’s install
    directory on all platforms. Usually this will be in your Steam
    directory, under SteamApps\common\SpacebaseDF9\Data\Scripts. If you
    own the game you can modify these files and distribute your
    modifications to other users as you like. A large portion of
    Spacebase is written in Lua, so there are relatively few limits on
    what you can do with this.
