Ion

This is a Northstar fork for Titanfall 2, which unlike Vanilla+ lets you play Northstar and Vanilla at the same time.

Also contains a kitchen sink of other things I like because this started out as just my personal little thing to play on, so it's very opinionated.

I don't know what the usage of this is, but if you want to get in touch you can message me on discord @sonny.tel or join the R1Delta discord.

Instructions

Installation is basically the same as regular Northstar, just follow their manual install instructions here

Recommended: Add -northstar launch argument

If you own the game via steam, right click on Titanfall 2, then hit "Properties" and add -northstar to the "Launch Options" field For EA App users, click on Titanfall 2 on the left side, then hit the "Manage" button, then "View properties" and add -northstar to the "Advanced launch options" box

Extras

EMM inspired menu with cool stuff.
Cooler rich presence
Rudamentary demo playback UI
Loading progress
Considerably less crashes than Northstar (also turned off script errors on client I have no idea why they don't do this)
Some UI changes
Lots of HUD gimmicks
Match settings fixes
I honestly don't know someone can tell me

Most of these are off by default you can just ignore them if you don't care

What I want to add

Drivable demo cam would be cool but lazy
GMod script error popup please dogecore when you gangstalk my profile can you add it
migrateme and invite stuff since origin invites are gone
Go through all the script/exploit-fix funcs with tracy and do some optimisations, perf seems a bit crap

Modding

Parity is mostly in touch with Northstar, versioning and mod names are the same. Any existing mods using UI script stuff that do #if VANILLA probably won't work but that's about it.

In order to check for vanilla in script you should use NSIsVanilla() which returns a bool. You'll have to make a guard to check if the function exists for proper Northstar/Ion compatability, so good luck with that.

For mods making Keyvalue patches, special preprocessors have been added. You can use ///if VANILLA, ///if NORTHSTAR and ///endif (no ///elif yet sorry). Here's a provided example

// basically just ripped out of Northstar.Custom
WeaponData
{
///if NORTHSTAR
    Mods
    {
        sns
        {
            explosion_damage "50"
            damage_near_value "50"
            damage_far_value "50"
            ammo_clip_size "1"
            projectile_launch_speed "7500"
        }
    }
///endif
}

Build

You'll want to use the branch repositories, the steps should be basically the same as for normally building Northstar:

Credits

Northstar for inspiring me to stick it to the man and waste my time on this terrible game still after how many years
Knightfire-rdp for his pretty ok core banner indicator mod which I ~~stole~~ used for damage indicators.
Ado_ for making all the cool cover art for this. They have a SteamGrid profile which has stuff for this project which you can check out.
Allusive for being weird
