Xash3D (pronounced `[ksɑʂ]`) FWGS is a game engine, aimed to provide compatibility with Half-Life Engine and extend it, as well as to give game developers well known workflow.
|
||
|
||
Xash3D FWGS is a heavily modified fork of an original [Xash3D Engine](https://www.moddb.com/engines/xash3d-engine) by Unkle Mike.

If you like Xash3D FWGS, consider supporting individual engine maintainers. By supporting us, you help to continue developing this game engine further. The sponsorship links are available in [documentation](Documentation/donate.md).
|
||
|
||
## Fork features
|
||
* Steam Half-Life (HLSDK 2.5) support.
|
||
* Crossplatform and modern compilers support: supports Windows, Linux, BSD & Android on x86 & ARM and [many more](Documentation/ports.md).
|
||
* Better multiplayer: multiple master servers, headless dedicated server, voice chat, [GoldSrc protocol support](Documentation/goldsrc-protocol-support.md) and IPv6 support.
|
||
* Multiple renderers support: OpenGL, GLESv1, GLESv2 and Software.
|
||
* Advanced virtual filesystem: `.pk3` and `.pk3dir` support, compatibility with GoldSrc FS module, fast case-insensitivity emulation for crossplatform.
|
||
* Mobility API: better game integration on mobile devices (vibration, touch controls).
|
||
* Different input methods: touch and gamepad in addition to mouse & keyboard.
|
||
* TrueType font rendering, as a part of mainui_cpp.
|
||
* External VGUI support module.
|
||
* PNG & KTX2 image format support.
|
||
* [A set of small improvements](Documentation/), without broken compatibility.
|
||
|
||
## Installation & Running
|
||
0) Get Xash3D FWGS binaries: you can use [testing](https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs/releases/tag/continuous) build or you can compile engine from source code.
|
||
1) Copy engine binaries to some directory.
|
||
2) Copy `valve` directory from [Half-Life](https://store.steampowered.com/app/70/HalfLife/) to directory with engine binaries.
|
||
If your CPU is NOT x86 compatible or you're running 64-bit version of the engine, you may want to compile [Half-Life SDK](https://github.com/FWGS/hlsdk-portable).
|
||
This repository contains our fork of HLSDK and restored source code for Half-Life expansions and some mods.
|
||
You still needed to copy `valve` directory as all game resources located there.
|
||
3) Run the main executable (`xash3d.exe` or AppImage).
|
||
|
||
For additional info, run Xash3D with `-help` command line key.

## Build instructions
|
||
We are using Waf build system. If you have some Waf-related questions, I recommend you to read [Waf Book](https://waf.io/book/).
|
||
|
||
NOTE: NEVER USE GitHub's ZIP ARCHIVES. GitHub doesn't include external dependencies we're using!
|
||
|
||
### Prerequisites
|
||
If your CPU is x86 compatible and you're on Windows or Linux, we are building 32-bit code by default. This was done to maintain compatibility with Steam releases of Half-Life and based on it's engine games.
|
||
Even if Xash3D FWGS does support targetting 64-bit, you can't load games without recompiling them from source code!
|
||
|
||
If your CPU is NOT x86 compatible or you decided build 64-bit version of engine, you may want to compile [Half-Life SDK](https://github.com/FWGS/hlsdk-portable).
|
||
This repository contains our fork of HLSDK and restored source code for Half-Life expansions and some mods.

### Building
|
||
#### Windows (Visual Studio)
|
||
0) Open command line.
|
||
1) Navigate to `xash3d-fwgs` directory.
|
||
2) (optional) Examine which build options are available: `waf --help`.
|
||
3) Configure build: `waf configure --sdl2=c:/path/to/SDL2`.
|
||
4) Compile: `waf build`.
|
||
5) Install: `waf install --destdir=c:/path/to/any/output/directory`.
|
||
|
||
#### Linux
|
||
If compiling 32-bit on amd64, make sure `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` from the previous step is set correctly, prior to running configure.
|
||
|
||
0) (optional) Examine which build options are available: `./waf --help`.
|
||
1) Configure build: `./waf configure` (you need to pass `-8` to compile 64-bit engine on 64-bit x86 processor).
|
||
2) Compile: `./waf build`.
|
||
3) Install: `./waf install --destdir=/path/to/any/output/directory`.
