What is OpenSpades?
OpenSpades combines online first-person shooting with a block-built world that players can reshape. It is a compatible client for Ace of Spades 0.75, connecting to vanilla, pyspades and pysnip servers rather than replacing the game with a different multiplayer network. The publisher describes fully destructible terrain and community-created modes, including Capture the Flag.
OpenGL graphics and OpenAL audio provide an alternative presentation of that gameplay. Version 0.1.3 adds configurable palette-selection keys, shotgun tracers and a shortcut for temporarily expanding the chat log. This entry links to the publisher's Windows ZIP package, not the separate macOS package or developer debugging symbols.
The release notes list compatibility problems worth checking before choosing mods: weapon mods made for 0.0.12 or earlier can crash the client when joining a server. Volumetric Fog can also show graphical glitches. On Windows 8.1 or earlier, the publisher documents a possible missing Universal C Runtime component and points to a Windows update. These are publisher-reported requirements and limitations; the package has not been installed or play-tested here.
What it offers

Good to know
- Weapon mods created for version 0.0.12 or earlier may crash version 0.1.3 when joining a server.
- The publisher lists graphical glitches with Volumetric Fog enabled and persistent vertical fog with the software renderer.
- Windows 8.1 or earlier may need the Universal C Runtime update if api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0 is missing.
