If you're just here to use GDBrowser locally because the site is down or blocked or restricted or god knows what, this is the only part you really need to read
To run GDBrowser locally:
1) Install [node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) if you don't already have it
2) Clone/download this repository
3) Open cmd/powershell/terminal in the main folder (with index.js)
4) Type `npm i` to flood your hard drive with code that's 99% useless
5) Type `node index` to run the web server
6) GDBrowser is now running locally at http://localhost:2000
If you want to disable rate limits, ip forwarding, etc you can do so by modifying `settings.js`. Doing this is probably a good idea if you feel like obliterating Rob's servers for some reason. (please don't)
Hold up, wait a minute... private servers are an official feature now!
If you would like to add your GDPS to GDBrowser, simply reach out to me on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/TheRealGDColon) and I'll be happy to add it (provided the server is relatively large and active)
If you 100% insist on adding a private server to your own magical little fork, you can do so by adding it to **servers.json**. Simply add a new object to the array with the following information:
**name:** The display name of the server
**link:** The server's website URL (unrelated to the actual endpoint)
**author:** The creator(s) of the server
**authorLink:** The URL to open when clicking on the creator's name
**id:** An ID for the server, also used as the subdomain (e.g. `something` would become `something.gdbrowser.com`)
They're all fairly similar. Fetch something, parse the response, and serve it in a crisp and non-intimidating JSON. This is probably what you came for.
The odd one out is icon.js, which is for generating GD icons. The code here is horrendous, so apologies in advance. Improvements to it would be greatly appreciated! (and i will love you forever)
All the GD stuff was ripped straight from the GD spritesheets via [Absolute's texture splitter hack](https://youtu.be/pYQgIyNhow8). If you want a nice categorized version, [I've done all the dirty work for you.](https://www.mediafire.com/file/4d99bw1zhwcl507/textures.zip/file)
The HTML files! Nothing too fancy, since it can all be seen directly from gdbrowser. Note that profile.html and level.html (and some parts of home.html) have [[VARIABLES]] (name, id, etc) replaced by the server when they're sent.
It's GJ_Gamesheet02 but split into a much more intimidating cluster of a million files. These icons are put together and colored in the monstrosity that is icon.js
parseIconPlist.js reads GJ_GameSheet02-uhd.plist and magically transforms it into gameSheet.json. Props to 101arrowz for helping make this
colors.json is a list of the player colors in GD. Fairly straight forward
