|
Xash3D FWGS is a fork of Xash3D Engine by Unkle Mike with extended features and crossplatform.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Xash3D is a game engine, aimed to provide compatibility with Half-Life Engine,
|
|
as well as to give game developers well known workflow and extend it.

|
|
|
|
## Fork features
|
|
* HLSDK 2.4 support.
|
|
* Crossplatform: supported x86 and ARM on Windows/Linux/BSD/Android. ([see docs for more info](Documentation/ports.md))
|
|
* Modern compilers support: say no more to MSVC6.
|
|
* Better multiplayer support: multiple master servers, headless dedicated server.
|
|
* Mobility API: allows better game integration on mobile devices(vibration, touch controls)
|
|
* Different input methods: touch, gamepad and classic mouse & keyboard.
|
|
* TrueType font rendering, as a part of mainui_cpp.
|
|
* Multiple renderers support: OpenGL, GLESv1, GLESv2, Software.
|
|
* Voice support.
|
|
* External filesystem module like in GoldSrc engine.
|
|
* External vgui support module.
|
|
* PNG image format support.
|
|
* A set of small improvements, without broken compatibility.
|
|
|
|
## Planned fork features
|
|
* Virtual Reality support and game API.
|
|
* Vulkan renderer.
|
|
|
|
## 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 some of the mods. Not all of them, of course.
|
|
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 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, 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 some of the mods. Not all of them, of course.
|
|
|
|
#### Windows (Visual Studio)
|
|
* Install Visual Studio.
|
|
* Install latest [Python](https://python.org) **OR** run `cinst python.install` if you have Chocolatey.
|
|
* Install latest [Git](https://git-scm.com/download/win) **OR** run `cinst git.install` if you have Chocolatey.
|
|
* Download [SDL2](https://libsdl.org/download-2.0.php) development package for Visual Studio.
|
|
* Clone this repository: `git clone --recursive https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs`.
|
|
* Make sure you have at least 12GB of free space to store all build-time dependencies: ~10GB for Visual Studio, 300 MB for Git, 100 MB for Python and other.
|
|
|
|
#### GNU/Linux
|
|
##### Debian/Ubuntu
|
|
* Enable i386 on your system, if you're compiling 32-bit engine on amd64. If not, skip this
|
|
|
|
`$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386`
|
|
* Install development tools
|
|
* For 32-bit engine on amd64: \
|
|
`$ sudo apt install build-essential gcc-multilib g++-multilib python libsdl2-dev:i386 libfontconfig-dev:i386 libfreetype6-dev:i386`
|
|
* For everything else: \
|
|
`$ sudo apt install build-essential python libsdl2-dev libfontconfig-dev libfreetype6-dev`
|
|
* Clone this repostory:
|
|
`$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs`
|
|
|
|
### Building
|
|
#### Windows (Visual Studio)
|
|
0) Open command line
|
|
1) Navigate to `xash3d-fwgs` directory.
|
|
2) Carefully examine which build options are available: `waf --help`
|
|
3) Configure build: `waf configure -T release --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, you may need to supply `export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkgconfig` prior to running configure.
|
|
|
|
0) Examine which build options are available: `./waf --help`
|
|
1) Configure build: `./waf configure -T release`
|
|
(You need to pass `-8` to compile 64-bit engine on 64-bit x86 processor)
|
|
2) Compile: `./waf build`
|
|
3) Install(optional): `./waf install --destdir=/path/to/any/output/directory`
