Setup

This page is a work in progress.

Installing

First, download the template from either the main or mirror repository. Once downloaded, extract the template to the Songs folder of your Project OutFox installation. For more information, visit this webpage on how to install songs to Project OutFox.

Once you have your template placed within your song folder, you must add a foreground change to allow the template to work. You can do this by adding or editing this line in your song's .sm/.ssc:

#FGCHANGES:-10.000=init=1.000=0=0=1=====;

Alternatively, you can open the song in the OutFox editor and press Alt+B to open the foreground change menu. From there, you can add the init folder as a foreground change.

Editing

You may open the song folder in your favorite IDE, such as Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, Brackets, etc. Most of your work will be done inside of the /src folder. The /include folder contains files that define classes that are then instantiated as objects. The init folder contains code that initializes the template. The lib folder contains libraries that are auto-loaded by the template, such as the standard library.

Running the template for the first time in Project OutFox will generate a settings.ini file. You may need to force flush the file manager (F2+3) or restart the game.
