The Windows payload is assembled by globbing every *.dll out of the build output directories, so nothing but luck decides whether a module the client links statically - Qt6Multimedia.dll, Qt6QuickWidgets.dll - reaches the installer at all. A module that is left out is invisible until a user installs an update and the client then refuses to start, with "The code execution cannot proceed because Qt6Multimedia.dll was not found" or a missing procedure entry point in a Qt6QuickWidgets.dll carried over from the previous version. Derive the required list from SERVATRICE_QT_MODULES, COCKATRICE_QT_MODULES and ORACLE_QT_MODULES, the same module lists the targets are actually built against, so it cannot drift from what the binaries need, and write it next to the CMake cache as required-qt-runtime.txt. Add the platform plugin, without which the client cannot start at all. Assert it in the existing 7-Zip pass that already rejects build-tree artifacts, comparing exact relative paths so a same-named file in the wrong directory does not satisfy a requirement, and normalizing the archive's own separators so it does not matter which one NSIS chose. Missing manifest, missing entry or missing 7-Zip-independent failures all stop the build rather than warn, which is the whole point: the previous check already failed hard for artifacts, and a warning here is what let a broken package ship. |

Cockatrice
Cockatrice is an open-source, multiplatform application for playing tabletop card games over a network. The program's server design prevents users from manipulating the game for unfair advantage. The client also provides a single-player mode, which allows users to brew while offline.
This project uses C++ and the Qt libraries.
Download 
Downloads are available for stable releases and the current beta version in development.
There is no strict release schedule for either of them.

Community Resources 
Join our Discord community to connect with other project contributors (#dev channel) or fellow users of the app. Come here to talk about the application, features, or just to hang out.
Important
For support regarding specific servers, please contact that server's admin/mods and use their dedicated communication channels rather than contacting the team building the software.

Repository Activity
Code
To contribute code to the project, please review our guidelines first.
We maintain two tags for contributors to easier find issues to potentially work on:
Issues tagged in this way provide a simple way to get started. They don't require much experience to be worked on.
This tag is used for issues that we are looking for somebody to pick up. Often this is for feature suggestions we support, but don't have the time to work on ourselves.
For both tags, we're willing to provide help to contributors in showing them where and how they can make changes, as well as code reviews for submitted changes.
We'll happily advice on how best to implement a feature, or we can show you where the codebase is doing something similar before you get too far along - put a note on an issue you want to discuss more on!
You can also have a look at our Todo List in our Code Documentation or search the repo for \todo comments.
Documentation 
There are various places where useful information for different needs are maintained:
- Official Code Documentation
- Official Wiki
Community supported - Official Webpage
- Official README
This file
Cockatrice tries to use the Google Developer Documentation Style Guide to ensure consistent documentation. We encourage you to improve the documentation by suggesting edits based on this guide.
Translation 
Cockatrice uses Transifex to manage translations. You can help us bring Cockatrice and Oracle to your language and just adjust single wordings right from within your browser by visiting our Transifex project page. The Webatrice web client manages its own translations in its repo.
Check out our Translator FAQ for more information about getting involved, and join a group of hundreds of others!
Build

Dependencies: (for minimum versions search our CMake file)
Oracle can optionally use some packages to load compressed card files:
Basic compilation steps:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
You can then
- Create a Cockatrice installation inside the
releasefolder:make install - Or make an installation package specific to your system:
make package
Note
Detailed compiling instructions can be found in the Cockatrice wiki at Compiling Cockatrice
The following flags (with their non-default values) can be passed to cmake:
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
-DWITH_SERVER=1 |
Build Servatrice server |
-DWITH_CLIENT=0 |
Don't build Cockatrice client |
-DWITH_ORACLE=0 |
Don't build Oracle card database tool |
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug |
Compile in debug mode Enables extra logging output, debug symbols, and much more verbose compiler warnings |
-DWARNING_AS_ERROR=0 |
Don't treat compilation warnings as errors in debug mode |
-DUPDATE_TRANSLATIONS=1 |
Configure make to update the translation .ts files for new strings in the source codeNote: make clean will remove the .ts files |
-DTEST=1 |
Enable regression tests Note: make test to run tests, googletest will be downloaded if not available |
Run
Cockatrice is the game client
Oracle fetches card data
Servatrice is the server
Docker
You can build an image & deploy a Servatrice (Cockatrice server) container using Docker and our Dockerfile yourself.
For more details, look into our wiki section on Setting up Servatrice.
You'll also find more hints on our pre-build image there, or the docker-compose file which will configure and run both a MySQL server and Servatrice.
