# Jadeite Autopatcher
### Current game support:
- **3rd**: glb/sea/tw/kr/jp **v7.1.0+**, cn **v7.2.0+**
- **SR**: os/cn **v1.6.0**
You can expect newer versions to work immediately after release with the same jadeite binary if the version is specified with a + above.
## Information
The anticheat the games use is fundamentally incompatible with Wine in multiple ways. This tool launches the game without it (`injector`) and imitates it's behaviour (`game_payload`).
**Using third-party software (such as this tool) with the games violates their Terms of Service**. Therefore, **you may receive a ban**. No bans were ever reported with 3rd, however the legacy patch for SR did cause many. **Use at your own risk and only if you understand all the possible consequences**.
**This is not a cheating tool**. Using it with Windows is not possible, and Windows support is not planned or intended in any way. However, as it does not perform any on-disk file modifications, you may reuse the same game install for Windows if you have a dual-boot setup.
## Usage
**Refer to [third-party launchers](#third-party-launchers)** for convenient usage. If you don't want to (or can't) use third-party launchers, continue reading the section below
**Wine 8.0+ is recommended**, as lower versions leak "The Wine project" as the device identifier. Not critical, but taking a precaution never hurt anyone. **DXVK is strongly recommended**
**3rd-specific**:
- **Wine 8.21+ or [Wine-GE-Proton](https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom) is required to play videos. The game may show a black screen or crash on lower versions.**
- You might need to [limit the number of cores available to the game](https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-install/issues/44) if your CPU has more than 8.
Manual usage instructions:
- Download the game you want to run
- Download the latest release from this repository
- Extract the archive (**NOT INTO THE GAME DIRECTORY! THIS IS IMPORTANT!**)
- Run `./block_analytics.sh` from the archive to block the games from accessing analytics servers (you might have to do a `chmod +x block_analytics.sh` first). This will require superuser privileges
- Run `wine jadeite.exe 'Z:\wine\path\to\game.exe'`
Detailed command line interface reference: `jadeite.exe [game path] <launcher path> <game args...>`, where:
- `game path` - Wine path to the game (required)
- `launcher path` - Wine path to the launcher process (optional, default is `C:\Windows\explorer.exe`). The launcher process will be used to start the game. You can specify the path to the official launcher here. Specifying anything other than `explorer.exe` or the official launcher is not recommended. Specify `--` to skip this argument and use the default
- `game args...` - arguments to pass to the game process (optional)
Example command: `jadeite.exe 'Z:\path\to\game.exe' -- -screen-fullscreen 1`
## Configuration
These environment variables can be used to configure the behaviour of the tool. Any value except empty string counts as set. `1` will be used in all examples.
- `WAIT_BEFORE_RESUME=1` - show a messagebox and wait for user input before resuming the game process. Useful on my side for debugging
## Internals and building
To compile jadeite, you will need meson, mingw and nasm. You can probably install all three using your repository's package manager. Once all dependencies are installed, run `./build.sh` in this directory. The compiled files will be located in `./out`.
A part of the source code is witheld (`game_payload/src/core.c`). This is a forced measure to make abuse more difficult. However, a precompiled blob is provided in the repo. `build.sh` will use it automatically.
All source code except `core.c` is available in this repository. You can take look around.
## Guildelines
1. **Please don't share this project in public.** This might attract unnecessary attention from either the Game Company or the Anticheat Company
2. **Please don't abuse this project for cheating.** We're just trying to play the games through Wine
## Troubleshooting
Please do not report any issues with the Game to the official channels. Use the issue tracker of this repository
