PiePerseus

I won't maintain this anymore as my AL accounts (4pii4 and pie guild alt on Little Enterprise have been banned permanently)

"Development environment" to test your Perseus modifications in under one minute.

Features and goals:

• [x] No chat/name censorship
• [x] Config file in json (instead of archaic .ini)
• [x] Chat commands
• [x] Remove low morale warning
• [x] Higher auto repeat limit
• [ ] Skip animations
  • [x] Skip battleship firing animation
• [ ] Hide ~~potentially~~ NSFW images/screens

  • [x] Commander name/id/level spoof
• [x] Convert any ship blueprint to protocore (unimplemented feedback)

I do read AL's feedback channel, so if you have an interesting suggestion you can DM pi.kt on discord.

Documentation

• Chat commands
• Configuration

Requirements:

• Python with f-string support
• java in path

  • NDK: for ndk-build[.cmd]
  • Android SDK: for zipalign[.exe] and apksigner[.bat]

Usage

$ python perseus.py --help
usage: perseus apk builder [-h] [--skip | --no-skip] [--quick-rebuild | --no-quick-rebuild] [--clean | --no-clean]

builds apk for you (this is the default behaviour if called with no arguments)

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --skip, --no-skip     skip decompile and extracting if possible
  --quick-rebuild, --no-quick-rebuild
                        rebuild apk by replacing libs in the apk instead of using apktool (saves 40s)
  --clean, --no-clean   delete built apk, decompiled sources, compiled perseus libs and xapk

The first build takes 3 to 5 minutes, subsequent builds take 15-20 seconds.

If the built APK doesn't work for you and you're on Windows, try running the script inside Git Bash/MSYS.
