This is the a forked version of the offical DRO client last updated by Crystal Warrior. it is a derivative of Attorney-Online-Client-Remake. Created by SyntaxNyah not a replacement all credits to the upstream forks from each interation for laying the ground work.
Main goal get people upgrade from 1.8.0 to 1.8.5 by addressing bugs so crystal warriors work doesn't go to waste.
Repo Status: Archived. This is no longer maintained. The code is open source and free for you to use at your own leisure. Just credit what you use and obey the terms of the license. This fork of official DRO is deprecated.
This project utilizes ai assistance such as LLMS i.e claude code etc for certain parts of development mainly for speedup.
boilerplate code generation
Technical documentation
bug detection and debugging
refactoring examples being raw pointers to smart pointers
compiler errors
CMake fixes,
code cleanup,
syntax error fixes
understanding legacy code artifacts.
Tests and tooling.
These tools help speed up development and handle the tedious repetitive tasks so me and other people can focus on the higher level logic and fun development stuff. While AI aids in these areas all code is reviewed and tested by human maintainers before being pulled in. This project is not entirely ai generated it is used as a tool nothing more nothing less. More accurate would be to call it tool assisted development where humans have the final say.
No generative AI will be accepted into this project examples being no art or music or anything is AI generated.
Audio engine Bass.DLL removed and changed to miniaudio. Replaced a propriety audio engine with an AGPLv3 compatible one
Backgrounds no longer are blank in the view port upon entering areas.
Text no longer cuts off at all. It always follows the text wraps perfectly and doesn't go off screen. Cleaned and fixed additive text!
Make the additive text function a UI element a check box of sorts a tiny check box, so people dont have to type everytime they want to use additive, its one tiny check box then all messages are treated as additive. A clean option just like how AO2 client does it. This basically allows you to use additive without constantly typing everytime like a checkbox.
You can now set custom asset/base paths.
Changed the reload button to "change theme" to be more clear and user friendly.
A toggle to disable blankposts so if you press ENTER, nothing sends.
Softer toggle called soft blankpost option where u have to press ENTER at least three times on an empty message to send a BLANKPOST. Purpose is to prevent accidental blankposts.
Added a new library called SoundTouch which lets you adjust pitch and tempo. Also fixed music streaming was broken in 1.8.4. You can also stream opus and ogg files now. WAV OPUS MP3 OGG
Fix linux macos builds
Voting GUI Server-side voting system with a client-side GUI popup. Polling options for group decisions. Results display at conclusion 🚧
Add a secondary message/mini message system called react messages. It's bassically when someone sends a message they somehow have a way of adding a mini message on top of it. So main message would be like, "I like danganronpa", the react message would be a tiny message somewhere else maybe the side of the port or it just flys across the viewport, that says me too, so it feels more like a danganronpa game. Also for server side, maybe make it a toggle if reacts can be used, and displayed. And for the GM they can customize how much reacts can be used per area. Use the DR 1 asset to display these 🚧🚧
Add Asset streaming capabilities and add a compatibility mode of sorts so DRO client can connect to modern servers just like AO2 client. This includes base and asset streaming. AO2 compat mode so modern servers like akashi can accept DRO client without issue, and if it shows no files should ask you for an option to stream the assets. 🚧🚧 🚧
Multi-viewport interface: Follow multiple players simultaneously in separate viewports within one client; viewports display real-time chat activity. Main viewport: Click any viewport to make it the active/chat-focused one. GM ping system: Players can ping the GM triggering a red flashing border on that player's viewport for instant attention. Performance optimization: Skip animations on non-dominant viewports to save battery/performance; careful attention needed to avoid excessive redrawing and performance bugs. 🚧🚧🚧
Add HTTPS/WSS support for DRO client and TsuserverDR so server owners can have the OPTION utilize TLS and modern https if they so want to to protect against snooping MITM attacks(this is funny to write but yeah you get the point, https is just more secure and faster) and even cloudflare caching. This will mainly benefit servers that use websockets though and have a web server, for most DRO users this won't really change much. 🚧 🚧
Write prooject documentation with detailed easy to understand guides such as building the project with qt 6 maybe cross platform etc 🚧
Add Linux Builds back make DRO linux compatible again 🚧 🚧
Not a replacement for DRO client, just a fork intended to clean-up some legacy crust and fix some issues.
