Mural is a 2D graphical frontend for Flame RPG engine written in Go with Pixel library.
GUI uses MTK, a simple toolkit built with Pixel and Beep libraries.
Currently in an early development stage.
Simple demo game based on Arena module with Mural GUI support.
Download: Linux, Windows, macOS
2D Game that recreates the Elwynn Forest area from WoW, with multiplayer support.
Download: Linux, macOS, Windows
Repository: GitHub
First, make sure you have dependencies required by Pixel and Beep.
After that, use go build:
go build
Before starting GUI specify the ID of a Flame module in .mural configuration file:
Create file .mural in Mural executable directory(or run Mural to create it
automatically) and add the following line:
module:[module ID]
Mural will search the default modules directory(data/modules) for a module with the specified ID.
Flame modules are available for download here.
Run Mural:
./mural
WSAD - move HUD camera
Right mouse button - target object
Left mouse button - move player/interact with object(loot/dialog/attack)
SPACE - pause game
ESCAPE - open in-game menu
ENTER - activate/deactivate chat
B - open inventory
K - open skills menu
L - open journal
V - open crafting menu
C - open character window
It's possible to join an online game hosted on the Fire server.
To connect to the remote server specify server host and port in server config value in the .mural configuration file.
After that Mural will try to establish a connection with the game server on startup.
If the connection was successful you can use the login menu to log in to the server.
Configuration values are loaded from .mural file in Mural executable directory.

All GUI-related files, including UI textures, audio files, and translations for the GUI elements, must be stored in the data/modules/[module name]/mural directory.
UI textures and audio files need to be provided by module and stored in mural/graphic.zip and mural/audio.zip respectively.
You can find default audio and graphic archives in the res directory of this repository.
Translation for GUI elements needs to be stored in the mural/lang sub-directory of the module directory.
You can find default translations in the res/lang directory of this repository.
For example check Arena module.
Mural uses AI API from Ignite to control NPCs.
All NPCs that should be controlled by the AI need to have the igniteNpc flag set.
Burn CI handles commands execution.
Additionally to Burn tools, Mural implements gui tools to manage game GUI. You can access CI by the dropdown console in the main menu(accessible by pressing '`'(grave)) or chat window in HUD.
Note: all commands entered in HUD chat window must be prefixed by '$' character.
guiset -o exit

Area scripts are stored in [module dir]/mural/chapters/[chapter id]/areas/[area id]/scripts directory and started after area change.
Source code documentation can be easily browsed with go doc command.
Documentation for Burn commands in form of Troff pages is available under doc/command directory.
You can easily view documentation pages with man command.
For example to display documentation page for guiset command:
man doc/command/guiset
Note that documentation of Burn commands is still incomplete.
