## Problem The debug render GUI's **"Reset to Defaults"** restored bare `createRenderSettings()` defaults, wiping the user's graphics overrides (colorblind theme, ocean color, lighting, name scaling, etc.) from the live render settings. The per-prop right-click "reset to default" and the modified-indicators had the same flaw — their captured defaults were raw, ignoring overrides. ## Fix Thread the existing `resolveRenderSettings` (`createRenderSettings()` + `applyGraphicsOverrides()`) into the debug GUI as the defaults provider, so reset restores the same settings the renderer was actually built with. - **`debug/index.ts`** — added a `resolveDefaults` param (defaults to `createRenderSettings` to keep the module decoupled). The captured `defaults` now include overrides, fixing the per-prop reset and modified indicators too. - **`debug/Wiring.ts`** — `wireActions` takes `resolveDefaults`; the reset handler `deepAssign`s `resolveDefaults()` instead of `createRenderSettings()`. - **`ClientGameRunner.ts`** — passes `resolveRenderSettings` into `createDebugGui`, and extracts a `refreshDerivedGraphics` helper (terrain rebuild + re-theme/palette) from `onGraphicsChanged`, wired as the GUI's `onSettingsChanged` so the reapplied terrain/colorblind overrides become *visible* after reset (they're baked into GPU textures and aren't picked up per-frame). Side benefit: editing terrain/theme settings in the debug GUI now refreshes those textures live too (that callback was previously never wired). 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <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
