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.

## Installation & Running
0) Get Xash3D binaries: you can use [testing](https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs/releases/tag/continuous) build or you can compile engine from source code.
Choose proper build package depending on which platform you're using.
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.
Also if you're using Windows: you should copy `vgui.dll` library from Half-Life directory to Xash3D directory.
As alternative, you can compile [hlsdk-xash3d](https://github.com/FWGS/hlsdk-xash3d) instead of using official Valve game binaries, but you still needed to copy `valve` directory as all game resources located in there.
3) Download [extras.pak](https://github.com/FWGS/xash-extras/releases/tag/v0.19.2) and place it to `valve` directory.
4) Run `xash3d.exe`/`xash3d.sh`/`xash3d` depending on which platform you're using.
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
#### 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
NOTE FOR USERS WITH X86 COMPATIBLE CPUs:
We have forced Waf to throw an error, if you're trying to build 64-bit engine. This was done for keeping 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!
##### Debian/Ubuntu
* Enable i386 on your system, if you're compiling 32-bit engine on amd64. If not, skip this
5 years ago
`$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386`
* Install development tools
5 years ago
* 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`
5 years ago
* For everything else: \
`$ sudo apt install build-essential python libsdl2-dev libfontconfig-dev libfreetype6-dev`
* Clone this repostory:
5 years ago
`$ 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 --prefix=c:/path/to/any/output/directory`
6 years ago
4) Compile: `waf build`
5) Install: `waf install`
#### Linux
0) Examine which build options are available: `./waf --help`
1) Configure build: `./waf configure -T release --prefix=/path/to/any/output/directory`
(You need to pass `-8` to compile 64-bit engine on 64-bit x86 processor)
2) Compile: `./waf build`
3) Install(optional): `./waf install`
