## Summary The "classic icons" graphics setting currently renders structure icon glyphs as flat black. In the v0.31 canvas renderer, classic icons used `structureColors().dark` — a darkened version of the owning player's territory color. This PR restores that look in the WebGL renderer. - New `structure.iconDarken` render setting (HSV value multiplier on the player fill color; `0` = off, default). - New `uIconDarken` uniform in `structure.frag.glsl`: when > 0, the glyph color is `darken(playerFill, uIconDarken)` instead of the flat `uIconColor`. - Classic mode (`classicIcons: true`) now sets `iconDarken = 0.45` instead of `iconR/G/B = 0`. Border darken, fill, and the 0.75 translucency are unchanged. - Default (non-classic) icons are unaffected (white glyph, `iconDarken = 0`). Under-construction structures keep the gray fill, so their glyph darkens to a darker gray — matching v31's construction styling. ## Verification Drove a solo game headlessly with classic icons on and built structures: glyphs render as darkened versions of each player's color (dark purple on a purple player, per-bot hues on bot structures). Pixel-sampled the screenshot: glyph measured `rgb(89,58,142)` vs `rgb(84,50,139)` predicted for the 0.45-darkened player color at 0.75 alpha (flat black would measure `rgb(38,26,60)`). Control run with classic off shows the unchanged white glyph. `tests/GraphicsOverrides.test.ts` updated; all pass. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

🚀 Installation
-
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/openfrontio/OpenFrontIO.git cd OpenFrontIO -
Install dependencies
npm run instDo NOT use
npm installnornpm ibut instead use ournpm run inst. It runs the safernpm ci --ignore-scriptsto install dependencies exactly according to the versions inpackage-lock.jsonand doesn't run scripts. This can prevent being hit by a supply chain attack.
🎮 Running the Game
Development Mode
Run both the client and server in development mode with live reloading:
npm run dev
This will:
- Start the webpack dev server for the client
- Launch the game server with development settings
- Open the game in your default browser (to disable this behavior, set
SKIP_BROWSER_OPEN=truein your environment)
Client Only
To run just the client with hot reloading:
npm run start:client
Server Only
To run just the server with development settings:
npm run start:server-dev
Connecting to staging or production backends
Sometimes it's useful to connect to production servers when replaying a game, testing user profiles, purchases, or login flow.
To replay a production game, make sure you're on the same commit that the game you want to replay was executed on, you can find the
gitCommitvalue viahttps://api.openfront.io/game/[gameId]. Unfinished games cannot be replayed on localhost.
To connect to staging api servers:
npm run dev:staging
To connect to production api servers:
npm run dev:prod
