## What it is
Northstar is a community-made modding framework and custom client for Titanfall 2 that lets players host their own dedicated servers with custom scripts, assets, and gamemodes, as well as vanilla content. This repository packages the release builds of the client, which combines a C++ launcher hook DLL with Squirrel-based mods for server logic.

## Use cases
- host my own Titanfall 2 dedicated servers
- play Titanfall 2 multiplayer on community servers after official support ended
- create custom gamemodes and maps for Titanfall 2
- install and manage mods for Titanfall 2
- run vanilla Titanfall 2 content on self-hosted servers
- browse and join community-hosted Titanfall 2 servers

## When to choose
- you own Titanfall 2 on PC and want to play multiplayer on community servers
- you want to host custom or vanilla dedicated Titanfall 2 servers
- you want to develop or run mods and custom content for the game

## When to avoid
- you play Titanfall 2 on console, as Northstar is PC-only
- you want to mod other Source engine games, since Northstar is Titanfall 2 specific
- you need a general-purpose game server framework unrelated to Titanfall 2
