README.md
FreeHL
Clean-room reimplementation of Half-Life: Deathmatch and Half-Life (Experimental, this means Singleplayer is NOT complete).
Similar to FreeCS, this aims to recreate the feeling of the original game. It's designed to work with the content from the CD version of the game. Currently I do not aim to support the Steam version.
Netplay improvements, such as prediction of both player physics and weapon-logic are present.
This is 100% original code, feel free to audit however you wish. No proprietary SDKs have been looked at or taken apart, unlike similar projects.
Installing
To run it, all you need is FTEQW and the latest release .pk3 file, which you save into Half-Life/valve/. That's about it. You can install updates through the Configuration > Updates menu.
Building
Clone the repository into the Nuclide-SDK and build it:
$ git clone https://code.idtech.space/fn/valve valve
$ SKIP_UPDATE=1 SKIP_RADIANT=1 ./build_game.sh valve
You can also issue make inside valve/src/, but it won't build an entities.def file for use in Radiant (level editor family).
Notes
The engine should automatically detect Half-Life when placed within the game directory, however you may need to pass -halflife just in case you have one massive directory with multiple FTE-supported games in it for example.
You can also launch mods like this: fteqw -halflife -game cstrike
Useful for development, so you don't always have to use the Custom Game menu.
