Friday Night Funkin' - Codename Engine (WIP)

PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS STILL IN A BETA STATE

Mods created with beta versions of Codename may not be compatible with the release version

Known issues in the beta:

• Some options are missing

Build instructions are below. Press TAB on the main menu to switch mods.

Also, the command .\cne test uses the source assets folder instead of the export one for easier development (Although you can still use lime test windows normally).

Codename Engine

Codename Engine is a new Friday Night Funkin' Engine aimed at simplifying modding, along with extensiblity and ease of use.

Before making issues or need help with something, check our website HERE (it contains a wiki of how to mod with EXAMPLES, an api, lists of mods made with Codename Engine and more)!!!

The Engine includes many new features, as seen here

How to build

Open the instructions for your platform

Windows

Tested on Windows 10 21H2

1. Install version 4.2.5 of Haxe.
2. Download and install git-scm.
   • Leave all installation options as default.
3. Run update.bat using cmd or double-clicking it, and wait for the libraries to install.
4. Once the libraries are installed, run haxelib run lime test windows to compile and launch the game (may take a long time)
   • ℹ You can run haxelib run lime setup to make the lime command global, allowing you to execute lime test windows directly.

Linux

Requires testing

1. Install version 4.2.5 of Haxe.
2. Install g++, if not present already.
3. Download and install git-scm.
4. Open a terminal in the Codename Engine source folder, and run update.sh.
5. Once the libraries are installed, run haxelib run lime test linux to compile and launch the game (may take a long time)
   • ℹ You can run haxelib run lime setup to make the lime command global, allowing you to execute lime test linux directly.

What can you do or not do

You can:

• Download and play the engine with its mods and modpacks
• Mod and fork the engine (without using it for illicit purposes)
• Contribute to the engine (for example through Pull Requests, Issues, etc)
• Create a sub engine with Codename Engine as TEMPLATE with CREDITS (for example leaving the credits menu submenu with the GitHub contributors and putting the main devs in a README specifying that it's a sub engine from Codename Engine)
• Release excutable mods that use Codename Engine as source (Specifing that uses Codename Engine by for example the same way written above this)
• Release modpacks

You can't:

• Create a side/new/etc engine (or mod that doesn't use Codename Engine) using Codename Engine's code
• Steal code from Codename Engine for another different project that is not Codename Engine related (Codename Engine mods excluded) without properly crediting
• Release the entire Codename Engine on platforms (Mods that use Codename Engine as source are fine, if it's specified even better)

If you need more info or feel like asking to do something which is not listed here, ask us directly on our discord (linked in the wiki)!
