# FreeCS
Clean-room reimplementation of Counter-Strike 1.5 (mod-version).
Aiming for a stable reimagining of the original mod in QuakeC.
Not aiming for accuracy, but for a smooth, exploit and bug-free
experience over the Internet.
This is all 100% new, original code written by good old trial and error.
Differences exist and features are slowly being implemented one by one.
This allows the code to be fully free and unencumbered, unlike similar projects.
Featuring proper weapon prediction to enable stress-free netplay.

## Features and Improvements
* Native support for Windows/Mac/Linux/BSD and wherever else FTEQW runs on
* Better support for higher display modes and aspect ratios
* Much easier modding by having the entire logic be in modern QuakeC
* Netcode that's always improving and more advanced prediction
* Open-source code for transparent modding
* Very permissive license (ISC/BSD)

## Installation
Grab the latest binary release, extract and put an FTEQW engine binary (for your platform) into the same folder as the default.fmf and readme file.
Get FTEQW here: https://www.fteqw.org/
Run the engine and when in-game download the needed content, or optionally merge your own HL + CS 1.5 installation.
## Building
Clone the repository into the Nuclide-SDK:
> git clone REPOURL cstrike
then either run Nuclide's ./build_game.sh shell script, or issue 'make' inside
./cstrike/src!
Obviously make sure that Nuclide has fteqw and fteqcc set-up for building.
