XRF Engine

XRF is a TypeScript rewrite of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat script engine. The source is compiled to Lua scripts with TypeScriptToLua and packaged with generated configs, UI XML, translations, and static game resources.

The engine repository also includes a Node-based CLI for common modding tasks:

• building target/gamedata;
• linking the project to a local game installation;
• switching bundled OpenXRay engine binaries;
• verifying project data;
• packing mod or game distributions;
• formatting and checking generated data sources.

Source Layout

The main engine source is under src/engine:

• scripts contains TypeScript entry points that become Lua scripts.
• core contains runtime systems, schemes, managers, objects, and utilities.
• configs contains static and generated LTX/XML config sources.
• forms contains JSX/XML UI form sources.
• translations contains JSON and XML translation sources.
• extensions contains optional gameplay modules.

Build output and generated artifacts go under target/.

Development Model

Most work starts in TypeScript or source data files and then goes through the CLI build pipeline. The generated files are runtime artifacts for X-Ray; the source of truth stays in the repository.
