< h2 > Server Prerequisites </ h2 >
< ul >
< li > Git ( < a href = " https://git-scm.com/downloads " target = " _blank " > Download </ a > ) </ li >
< li > Node . js ( < a href = " https://nodejs.org/en/download " target = " _blank " > Download </ a ></ a > ) </ li >
< li > MongoDB ( < a href = " https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community " target = " _blank " > Download </ a ></ a > ) </ li >
</ ul >
< h2 > Server Installation </ h2 >
< ol >
< li > Run < code > git clone https :// openwf . io / SpaceNinjaServer . git </ code > in a command prompt to download SpaceNinjaServer in the current working directory </ li >
< li > Open the SpaceNinjaServer folder ( < code > cd SpaceNinjaServer </ code > ) </ li >
< li > Copy config - vanilla . json to create a config . json </ li >
< li > ( Optional ) Edit the config . json to match your MongoDB settings ( if not default ) and however else you would like to configure the server </ li >
< li > ( Optional ) If you have a GB of free space , you might want to download stripped assets such as < abbr title = " Ability videos show a brief clip of an ability in action. They can be seen by hovering over an ability in the Arsenal, Codex, etc. " > ability videos </ abbr > so the client can request them on - demand : Run < code > git clone https :// openwf . io / 0. git </ code > in the < code > static / data </ code > folder </ li >
< li > Run < code > npm install -- omit = dev -- omit = optional </ code > to install library dependencies </ li >
< li > Now you can run < code > npm run raw </ code > to start the server anytime </ li >
</ ol >
< h2 > Server Update </ h2 >
< p > You can simply run the < code > UPDATE AND START SERVER </ code > script for this , but otherwise the steps are pretty simple :</ p >
< ol >
< li > Run < code > git pull </ code > in the SpaceNinjaServer folder </ li >
< li > ( Optional ) If you have the stripped assets , run < code > git pull </ code > in the < code > static / data / 0 </ code > folder </ li >
< li > Run < code > npm install -- omit = dev -- omit = optional </ code > to synchronize library dependencies </ li >
< li > Now you can use < code > npm run raw </ code > to start the server again </ li >
</ ol >
< h2 > Client Patch </ h2 >
< p > In order to connect to custom servers , the client needs to be patched , which is what the boostrapper is for .</ p >
< ul >
< li >< b > Prerequisite :</ b > Because this is a project about preservation , we do not support the latest versions immediately . Please see < a href = " old-versions<?= $ext ;?> " target = " _blank " > here </ a > for supported versions and download instructions .</ li >
< li >< b > Setup :</ b > Download < a href = " https://openwf.io/supplementals/client%20drop-in/latest_dll " target = " _blank " > the boostrapper DLL ( wtsapi32 . dll ) </ a > and put it in your game ' s installation folder ( the one where Warframe . x64 . exe is in ) . On Linux , you may need to rename it to dwmapi . dll and / or use < code > WINEDLLOVERRIDE </ code >.</ li >
< li >< b > Usage :</ b > With the DLL in place , you can double - click Warframe . x64 . exe to start the game with OpenWF .<!-- Opening the game ' s launcher will revert it back to normal . --></ li >
</ ul >
< p > The bootstrapper is < a href = " bootstrapper-manual<?=(!empty( $ext ) ? " . html " : " " );?> " target = " _blank " > fully documented here </ a > , but the most important point is that , while the game is running , you can visit < a href = " http://localhost:6155/ " target = " _blank " > http :// localhost : 6155 /</ a > to manage options , cheats , and scripts .</ p >
< h2 > IRC Server </ h2 >
< p > In addition to SpaceNinjaServer , you can also set up an IRC server for the in - game chat :</ p >
< ul >
< li >< a href = " https://github.com/Sainan/warframe-irc-server/releases " target = " _blank " > warframe - irc - server </ a > — an IRC server specifically made for OpenWF . Talks to SpaceNinjaServer to give " chat moderator " permissions and report dropped connections .</ li >
< li > InspIRCd — a well - known IRC server implementation used by DE themselves ( albeit with unknown modifications ) . A pre - configured Windows copy of it can be downloaded < a href = " https://openwf.io/supplementals/IRC.zip " download > here </ a >.</ li >
