pr-downloader is tool to download maps and games for the Spring RTS engine.

This repository is a Beyond All Reason (BAR) fork of the upstream spring/pr-downloader with additional improvements and features that are compatible with the BAR's fork of the Spring RTS engine.

The official compiled distribution of pr-downloader happens currently via the engine releases in the beyond-all-reason/spring repository.

The basic usage to download a game distributed via rapid and a map looks like:

$ pr-downloader dev-game:test "Angel Crossing 1.4"

Run program with --help to see all options.

You can ehter follow compilation instruction in the beyond-all-reason/spring or compile it separately using steps below.

On top of dependencies that are vendored in this repository, you will also neeed to provide: curl, zlib, and Boost.Test for unit tests. On Debian based distribution the packages are: libcurl4-openssl-dev, libboost-test-dev, zlib1g-dev.

The project uses CMake so it's a standard set of steps to compile binary:

$ mkdir builddir
$ cd builddir
$ cmake ..
$ cmake --build .

The basic C++ unit tests can be run using ctest command. There are also written in Python functional tests that are testing binary behavior end-to-end. To run them:

./test/functional_test.py --pr-downloader-path builddir/src/pr-downloader

test/download contains some scripts for setting up performance tests.
