 # Installation
 The latest version of Firestar will always be available from [Releases](https://git.worlio.com/bonkmaykr/firestar/releases).  
 If you aren't sure which file to get:
- **Windows:** Download the latest installer [here](https://files.worlio.com/users/bonkmaykr/tools/firestar/latest/firestar_1.2_installer_windows.exe).
+- **Windows:** Download the latest installer [here](https://screwgravity.net/firestar/builds/stable/tetsuo/firestar_1.3_installer_winnt_x86-64.exe).
 - **Linux:** Install one of the packages from the [Releases](https://git.worlio.com/bonkmaykr/firestar/releases) page:
-    - Ubuntu, Mint, PopOS: `sudo dpkg -i firestar_ver_arch.deb` or `gdebi firestar_ver_arch.deb`
-    - Fedora, Mageia, OpenSUSE, AlmaLinux: `sudo rpm -i firestar-ver-arch.rpm`
-    - Arch, EndeavourOS, CachyOS, Steam Deck: `sudo pacman -U firestar-ver-arch.pkg.tar.zst`  
- **All Platforms:** Grab the [Portable ZIP](https://files.worlio.com/users/bonkmaykr/tools/firestar/latest/firestar_dekka-1.2_portable.zip), extract it, and run the JAR file.
-  
+  - Ubuntu, Mint, PopOS: `sudo dpkg -i firestar_ver_arch.deb` or `gdebi firestar_ver_arch.deb`
+  - Fedora, Mageia, OpenSUSE, AlmaLinux: `sudo rpm -i firestar-ver-arch.rpm`
+  - Arch, EndeavourOS, CachyOS, Steam Deck: `sudo pacman -U firestar-ver-arch.pkg.tar.zst`
+- **All Platforms:** Grab the [JAR](https://screwgravity.net/firestar/builds/stable/tetsuo/firestar_1.3_portable.jar) and run it.
+
 # System Requirements
 - Windows 8 or newer, Mac OS X 10.14 or older, any modern version of Linux/BSD
-    - If you have a Mac running 10.15 Catalina or newer, you should use Crossover to run the Windows version of Firestar instead.
+  - If you have a Mac running 10.15 Catalina or newer, you should use Crossover to run the Windows version of Firestar instead.
 - Java 17 or above.
 - **Non-Windows systems only**: WINE
 - **Version 1.3 and above only:** [Visual C++ 2012 libraries](http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/confirmation.aspx?id=30679)
 - Do NOT install Firestar directly to your PSVita's storage. Some of it's file operations do not play nice with FAT filesystems.

+# Building
+You are always free to copy the Firestar source code and compile the latest work-in-progress version for yourself.  
+Firestar uses the Gradle build system. We write our code and perform all our tests on Linux, but these same steps should apply to all major operating systems.
+
+## With Intellij IDEA
+1. Create a new project cloned from this Git repo
+2. Open the run configurations editor by clicking "Default" in the top right corner and selecting "Edit Configurations".
+3. Set the JDK to Java 17, the module to firestar.firestar.main and the main class to Firestar's Main class.
+4. Go to Modify Options > Add before launch task, then add a Gradle "clean" task
+5. Go there again and add a Gradle "build" task
+6. Delete the default build task that has now appeared as step 1.
+7. Save your options and click the Play button to compile and test.
+
+## From the command line
+1. Ensure you have both Git and Gradle installed on your system.
+- Windows: Visit [git-scm.com](https://git-scm.com/downloads) and the [Gradle Installation Guide](https://gradle.org/install/).
+- Linux/BSD: Install the `git` and `gradle` packages from your package manager. For example:
+  - Arch-based: `sudo pacman -Sy git gradle` (if this breaks your computer then run -Syu to rectify it)
+  - Debian-based: `sudo apt install git gradle`
+- Mac: Figure it out! None of us on the dev team use Macs and we can't be assed to.
+2. Open the terminal and clone the git repo. This will download the Firestar source code to a `firestar/` folder in your current working directory.
+
+    ```
+    git clone https://git.worlio.com/bonkmaykr/firestar.git
+    ```
+
+3. `cd` to `firestar/` and run `gradle build` to make a JAR or `gradle run` to test your code immediately.

 # FAQ
 ## Can I use this on a Vita without enso/HEN?
 No. You need a modded Vita in order to use this. Hacking a Vita is super easy these days, but if you don't want to, you can always use Vita3K instead.

 ## Where do I download mods?
-There's no #1 place for Firestar mods as of now, but we can give you a few sample mods to test out if you are interested in seeing the program in action:

 - [XP Rebalance](https://files.worlio.com/users/bonkmaykr/patches/2048/XPhack2.fstar): Reduces the amount of grinding required to level up for players who can't access the online campaign. **Leaderboard safe version!**
 - [Pepsi Mod](https://files.worlio.com/users/bonkmaykr/http/reddit/pepsi_agility.fstar): Gives the FEISAR Agility ship a Pepsi makeover.
 - [Gold AG-SYS Speed](https://files.worlio.com/users/bonkmaykr/patches/2048/gold3.fstar): Better Than Chrome™
 - [Continue?](https://files.worlio.com/users/bonkmaykr/patches/2048/continue.fstar): Allows you to exit the pause menu without taking your thumb off the throttle. By ThatOneBonk
- [HD Skin](https://files.worlio.com/users/bonkmaykr/patches/2048/hd_skin.fstar): Recolors the UI to look like WipEout HD. By ThatOneBonk

 - [Custom Soundtrack](https://files.catbox.moe/pcvfxj.fstar): A custom playlist I put together. This music is copyrighted, don't play it on stream

 ## What do I need to make my own mods?
-For making your own mods, we recommend grabbing one of the many leaked PS Vita SDKs off of Archive.org since it has many of the tools you will need. I recommend using Photoshop CS5 for textures, since Sony officially provides a texture export plugin for CS5 in their SDK. There is also an included at9tool which can help with replacing sounds and music.  
-  
-Many things like HUDs, custom translations, and even some game variables are kept in XML format and can be edited in any normal text editor like Microsoft Notepad, GNU Nano, GEdit or KWrite. (Please play nice when you're online.)

 As for models and custom tracks, we don't have a concrete way of modifying those just yet, but work is being done on that, so stay tuned.

 ## (Non-Windows) About WINE Compatibility

 Ideally, in the future, all of this functionality can be built into Firestar natively without any fancy tricks.
 ## Why use a leaked Playstation SDK?
 Because many third-party programs for opening PSARC files either have no ability to create new ones or are prone to corruption bugs. Using the one made by the developers of the file format is the best option as it's what the game developers would have used. Obviously this creates all kinds of legal grey areas, so I can't distribute Sony's proprietary software next to my code. It's downloaded separately during the setup process.

 ## Why Java?
-Cross-platform support with no hassle, a built-in UI framework, and I don't need to sell my soul like every Electron or React 'Native' developer is doing these days.  
-  
-## Why the name "Firestar"?
-Firestar was a secret track in the original WipEout which you unlocked after beating the game at least once, the mod manager is just named after that. Major versions are named after pilots or tracks. Internal class names are named after Muppets characters as this is the same naming convention that Sony used to codename parts inside the PSVita's SOC.

-## Fast Mode vs. Compatibility Mode
-"Fast Mode" was a legacy option that was scrapped before it could be developed. It skipped the creation of a PSARC file and simply dumped the final game assets to their destination folder. This works great for emulators, and doesn't require proprietary stolen SDKs from SCE. However the filesystem on the Playstation Vita really hated this method and would glitch out when this was done, causing textures to be corrupted once placed on the memory card. The WipEout engine has no fault tolerance for malformed or missing assets, so it just crashes instantly when it encounters one. This is where Compatibility mode comes from, which is the default setting for 2048.
