HALF-LIFE WON MENU - QUAKEC VERSION
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
This menu logic is part of the FreeCS project.
|
|
It's a close recreation of the Half-Life main-menu (pre-Steam), also known as
|
|
the Half-Life WON menu (or just WON Menu - you get the idea).
|
|
It was used between 1998 and 2004.
|
|
|
|
It attempts to parse string-data and bitmaps from the original paths
|
|
whenever it can.
|
|
|
|
The original data is required for it to work.
|
|
|
|
It's created from scratch and is not C++ - it's QuakeC and meant to be used
|
|
within FTE QuakeWorld. The file extensions are only changed in order to help
|
|
with the syntax highlighting choice of your favorite editor.
|
|
|
|
This codebase is to be compiled with FTEQCC, no other compiler is supported.
|
|
No engine other than FTE QuakeWorld is supported. I won't support anything else
|
|
as there is no other QuakeWorld based engine that could easily add all the
|
|
formats and builtins required.
|
|
|
|
A few warnings to the uneducated:
|
|
If you're planning on merging or using any of this code in combination with the
|
|
original Half-Life SDK, you're violating the Half-Life SDK License Agreement.
|
|
This includes using it in combination with the original Half-Life binaries and
|
|
libraries. Valve has spoken out against such projects for the reason above.
|
|
|
|
Over the past decade enough Half-Life projects have sprung up that have violated
|
|
and _abused_ the GPL, thus discouraging entities from releasing their sources in
|
|
fear of such behaviour. This has done more harm than any good.
|
|
If anyone was to intentionally distribute content created with the Half-Life SDK
|
|
with this component, it'd violate the Half-Life SDK AND the GPL.
|
|
It's frustrating, but this is the world we are living in right now.
|
|
|
|
I recommend that you use this menu without relying on Half-Life file formats.
|
|
FreeCS gets around this by not actually shipping the CS content as part of the
|
|
project. User superior formats such as IQM (instead of MDL) for models and the
|
|
Quake III Arena BSP format for levels.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Spike for FTEQCC's advanced features and his engine, FTEQW, that makes
|
|
FreeCS and other projects even possible.
