A developer toolkit for interacting with and modifying the TERA game client.
Novadrop provides a collection of libraries, tools, and documentation for modifying the TERA game client.
Development of TERA stopped on April 20, 2022. Official game servers shut down on June 30 in the same year. Some of the knowledge and functionality provided by Novadrop was previously held in relative secrecy by a small portion of the game's third-party modding community for the sake of preserving game integrity. With the game effectively defunct, Novadrop now enables the game's community to freely analyze and modify the client, e.g. for the purposes of creating unofficial server emulators.

You will need the .NET SDK installed. Simply run ./cake
(a Bash script) to build artifacts. You can
also use ./cake pack if you do not want to build the documentation (which
requires Node.js).
These commands will use the Debug configuration by default, which is suitable
for development and debugging. Pass -c Release instead to get an optimized
build.
