The Dargon Project

Dargon is NOT FEATURE COMPLETE nor FULLY FUNCTIONAL! See the Issue Tracker for more information.

Tl;Dr

The Dargon Client facilitates the safe installation of League of Legends modifications. We are unique in that we apply modifications in-memory; no game data is directly overwritten, which prevents client data corruption. We hope to support other games in the future.

Nest/Dargon (aka Dargopia) aims to become a .net application framework. End goals and key strengths should be client-side deployment, building multiprocess applications, and self-hosting at small-to-medium scale.

Building The Dargon Client

• git clone --recursive git@github.com:the-dargon-project/dargon-root.git
• explorer dargon-root.sln (or just manually open it)
• build the entire project to restore nuget packages
• git reset --hard
• build again.

Terminology (It's confusing)

• the dargon project - the overall name of this effort.
• dargopia - our joke way of referring to all this work.
• dargon client - refers to League of Legends modding application.
  • client - the GUI of the Dargon Client.
  • core - daemon which does most of the client's busy work.
  • trinket - hijacks other processes to override behavior.
• server - server-side code.
  • platform - backend code.
  • webend - e.g. APIs exposed over port 80.
  • hydar - experimental (wip) in-memory data grid.
• nest - application deployment, patching, bootstrapping.
• libraries
  • courier - udp-focused networking library
  • management - jconsole for .net - lets you create debugging endpoints for applications without creating a proper gui.
  • portable-objects - serialization library
    • pof-streams - exposes pof streams and provides utilities for consuming them.
  • ryu - IoC container integrated with Dargon's tech
  • services - remote-method-invocation library
  • NMockito - mocking framework
  • NLombok - wip - lessens the boilerplate
  • random crap
    • audits - wip, owner Brian Chan
    • filesystems - abstracts filesystems, was once considered a good idea
    • io - exposes filesystems as nodes.
    • itzwarty.commons - useful extensions for .net
    • itzwarty.proxies - proxy classes useful for testability
    • scene - 3d scene-building api (wip)
    • systemstate - useful for feature-toggle functionality
    • league of legends - it's a fun game
      • rads - reads Riot Application Distribution System files
      • wgeo - reads map data
    • libvfm - creates virtual file descriptors to tell trinket how files should look.
