Friday Night Funkin': Eternal

A framework made by modders for modders

Eternal is an independant Friday Night Funkin' modding framework designed from the ground up, which takes heavy inspiration from the base game to build a unique and performant experience. It aims to be user friendly and easy-to-use while still being extremely moddable.

Note

• This project is still in development, meaning some features such as dialogue cutscenes are still missing.

Building

1. Install the latest version of Haxe
2. Install git-scm
3. Install the required dependencies for your platform (if it is is not listed you can safely skip this):

Side note: by making a .haxelib folder in your installation, all of the librairies to install are going to that folder, so that they won't mess with your already installed ones

Windows

1. Install the Visual Studio Build Tools and wait for the installer to be ready
2. Select the Individual Components tab and choose those 2 components:
   • MSVC v143 VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 build tools
   • Windows 10/11 SDK
3. Click on install and wait for the components to be installed, you can safely close the program once finished
4. Run scripts/setup.bat

MacOS

1. Install Xcode
2. Run scripts/setup.sh

Linux

1. Install g++ if required:
   • sudo apt install gcc g++ for Debian-based distros
   • sudo pacman -S gcc g++ for Arch-based distros
2. Run scripts/setup.sh

After those steps, you can build the project with a command prompt by running the appropriate building command for your platform, such as lime test windows.
