Creating custom executables

New executables

public class BasicExecutable : Pathfinder.Executable.BaseExecutable
{
    public BasicExecutable(Rectangle location, OS operatingSystem, string[] args) : base(location, operatingSystem, args) {
        this.ramCost = 761;
        this.IdentifierName = "ExecName";
    }

    public override void LoadContent()
    {
        base.LoadContent();
    }

    public override void Draw(float t)
    {
        base.Draw(t);
        drawTarget();
        drawOutline();
    }

    private float lifetime = 0f;
    public override void Update(float t)
    {
        base.Update(t);
        lifetime += t;
    }
}

GameExecutable

Implemented, not documented yet.

Registration

Executables can be registered manually or with the Executable attribute.

Pathfinder.Executable.ExecutableManager.RegisterExecutable<BasicExecutable>("#PF_BASIC_EXE#");

[Pathfinder.Meta.Load.Executable("#PF_BASIC_EXE#")]
public class BasicExecutable : Pathfinder.Executable.BaseExecutable

The provided argument corresponds to the replacement tag for extension files.

Executable features

Exiting

Setting isExiting to true will close the executable slowly.

Setting needsRemoval to true will close the executable instantly.

Example:

private float lifetime = 0f;
public override void Update(float t)
{
    base.Update(t);
    lifetime += t;
    if (lifetime > 2.5f)
        isExiting = true;
}

Opening a port, starting a trace

The executable has access to the OS object os (interface with the game), thisComputer (the player's computer) and targetIP, the IP the player was connected to on executable launch (See this page for a list of all the included port protocols).

Programs.getComputer(os, targetIP).openPort("ssh", os.thisComputer.ip);

To start a trace, if the computer has security:

Programs.getComputer(os, targetIP).hostileActionTaken();

Drawing in the executable's area

The Hacknet.Gui namespace contains most of the drawing functions.

public override void Draw(float t)
{
    base.Draw(t);
    drawTarget();
    drawOutline();
    Hacknet.Gui.TextItem.doLabel(new Vector2(Bounds.Center.X, Bounds.Center.Y), "blue text", new Color(255, 0, 0));
}
