reone is a free and open source game engine, capable of running Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel, The Sith Lords. We aim to provide an engine that is flexible and modern, and can be used to:
The project is at a mid-stage of development: most engine subsystems have already been implemented, while game mechanics are actively being worked on. See project [gallery](https://github.com/seedhartha/reone/wiki/Gallery) and [roadmap](https://github.com/seedhartha/reone/wiki/Roadmap) in the Wiki.
reone adheres to clean-room design principles. We do not condone the use of copyrighted materials - instead, we rely on publicly available information (e.g., file format specification released by BioWare) and our own observations of the game.
We do not distribute copyrighted materials - instead, we require our users and developers to obtain a legal copy of the game.
Lastly, reone is explicitly a non-commercial project: we seek to gain no profit from donation or otherwise.
reone is open to potential contributors. Contact us on [this](https://discord.gg/6sqSyfn8Jp) Discord server if you're interested in taking a particular task from the [roadmap](https://github.com/seedhartha/reone/wiki/Roadmap).
Those wishing to test reone, can either download a prebuilt executable from the [releases](https://github.com/seedhartha/reone/releases) page, or build it from source. Building it requires a modern C++ compiler and a set of free and open source libraries. See detailed instructions for your operating system [here](https://github.com/seedhartha/reone/wiki/Installation).
reone must only be used to run a legal copy of the game - both KotOR and TSL can be obtained from Steam or GOG.com. Keep in mind that mod compatibility is not being tested and thus cannot be guaranteed.
Configuration file, named "reone.cfg", must be located in the current directory. See complete list of program options [here](https://github.com/seedhartha/reone/wiki/Program-options).
