# Novadrop
A developer toolkit for interacting with and modifying the TERA game
client.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**Novadrop** provides a collection of libraries, tools, and documentation for
modifying the [TERA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TERA_(video_game)) game
client.
Development of TERA stopped on April 20, 2022. Official game servers shut down
on June 30 in the same year. Some of the knowledge and functionality provided by
**Novadrop** was previously held in relative secrecy by a small portion of the
game's third-party modding community for the sake of preserving game integrity.
With the game effectively defunct, **Novadrop** now enables the game's community
to freely analyze and modify the client, e.g. for the purposes of creating
unofficial server emulators.

To install a tool package in a project, run `dotnet tool install `. To

## Building
You will need the .NET SDK installed. Simply run `./cake`
(a [Bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash) script) to build artifacts. You can
also use `./cake pack` if you do not want to build the documentation (which
requires Node.js).
These commands will use the `Debug` configuration by default, which is suitable
for development and debugging. Pass `-c Release` instead to get an optimized
build.
