How to port a DS mod to DST?

[InternetFrog]

It seems there are no discussions on this forum that discuss this, i have never made a mod in DST, by the way, and i would imagine its somewhat easy to port a DS mod to DST. If there are any tutorials or something like that, please link me to it. Thanks.

There's a lot of small details all over that has changed in the code base.

 

The most primitive things to consider are:

There can be any amount of players and they can come into existence at any time as well as be destroyed in no particular order.

Networked RPCs for client->server and networked variables for server->client data transference.

Component replicas for when a client needs to know part of a component to function properly on their end, usually components exist only on the server.

Clients don't know every entity that exists on a map.

Entities outside of all clients potential visibility set go into a sleep state called limbo to reduce server stress.

 

As for doing an actual port of a mod it'd be a lot easier if you knew DST's code base more than knowing DS's code base.
