What is OpenSpades?

OpenSpades is a compatible client of Ace Of Spades 0.75.

• Can connect to a vanilla/pyspades/PySnip/piqueserver/SpadeX server.
• Uses OpenGL/AL for better experience.
• Open source, and cross platform.

Ok but what the heck is ZeroSpades?

ZeroSpades is a fork of OpenSpades with extra features and many improvements/fixes.

Some of the most important changes are:

• Demo recording/playback (credits to Fran6nd).
• Pie menu (credits to Fran6nd).
• In-game Hit detection debugger (credits to BR).
• Improved firstperson weapon animations (credits to PTrooper).
• More thirdperson animations.
• Weapon charms/keychains support.
• Configurable left-handed viewmodel.
• Viewmodel position presets (Default, Balanced, Minimal).
• Firstperson playermodels (torso & legs).
• Classic firstperson viewmodel.
• Dynamic playermodels based on weapon class.
• Dead player corpse and falling blocks physics.
• Configurable ragdoll removal.
• Physically-based lighting for models.
• Smooth interpolation for player orientations.
• Killstreak sounds (needs Killsounds.pak)
• Extended block color palette.
• Configurable alive player counter.
• HUD hotbar displaying selectable tools.
• HUD health bar with damage animation.
• Configurable crosshair and scope.
• Configurable HUD color and safe zone.
• Player names while on spectator mode.
• Teammate names added to the minimap.
• Damage dealt to players shown as floating damage numbers.
• Client-side hit analyzer (showing hit player name, distance, and body part).
• Player statistics such as: hit accuracy, kill/death ratio, kill streak, number of melee/grenade kills, and blocks placed.
• Killfeed icons with kill indicators (non-scoped, in-air) and domination tracking.
• Multiple sensitivity scaling presets (Quake, Source, Valorant, etc.)
• Same fog tint/color as the classic client (openspades applies a bluish tint to the fog).
• Demo recording compatible with aos_replay format.

-- And a lot of other things that I forgot to mention here.

Demo Recording & Playback

ZeroSpades supports recording and playing back gameplay demos using a format compatible with aos_replay.

Recording

Record gameplay from the command line:

# Record demos to mydemo_1.dem, mydemo_2.dem, etc. (one per game/map)
openspades aos://server:port --record mydemo

Demos are saved with a numeric suffix for each game joined during the session.

Playback

Play back demos directly in ZeroSpades:

# Play a demo file
openspades /path/to/demo.dem

# Or with the explicit flag
openspades --replay /path/to/demo.dem

Demos can also be played back using the external aos_replay tool.

How to Build/Install?

See the OpenSpades Building&Installing Guide

Just a quick note when building on Windows (with vcpkg):

On CMake, before you configure the project, you will need to add a new string entry:

• With the Name field: VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET
• And the Value field: x86-windows-static

Then you're ready to configure & generate.
