# Goals
|
|
The goal of this project is to provide an open-source version of Counter-Strike 1.5.
|
|
Counter-Strike, being one of the most popular multiplayer games to exist, hasn't had
|
|
a free-software implementation done until now.
|
|
** This project distributes no assets from either Half-Life or Counter-Strike. You have to provide them yourself. **
|
|
** This project shares no code with the Half-Life SDK. The entities are re-creations based on descriptions on TWHL.info. **
|
|
** Read the HL SDK EULA to find out [why.](http://twhl.info/articulator.php?art=1) **
|
|
|
|
Five cool random things you can do with this:
|
|
|
|
1. Play/Host CS on virtually every platform.
|
|
2. Customize the game to whatever extent you like.
|
|
3. Create entirely new weapons!
|
|
4. Create completely new and refreshing gamemodes!
|
|
5. Have a guarantee to be able to play it 20 years into the future!
|
|
|
|
# Status
|
|
All the weapons are implemented, so are the gamemodes:
|
|
- **Hostage Rescue** (cs)
|
|
- **Bomb Defusal** (de)
|
|
- **Assassination** (as)
|
|
- **Escape** (es)
|
|
|
|
The game is playable as long as you don't care about the radar/overview display.
|
|
|
|
# Installing
|
|
1. Get the latest version of FTEQW from the [website](http://triptohell.info/moodles/).
|
|
2. Download csv15full.exe to get the 'cstrike' folder (Use Wine on *NIX because the linux server is missing assets...).
|
|
3. Move both the cstrike folder and the FTE QuakeWorld binary into a folder
|
|
4. Copy the contents of FreeCS into that same folder, so that fteqw, freecs, default.fmf and cstrike co-exist in the same directory.
|
|
5. Run FTE QuakeWorld
|
|
|
|
*Optional step: Copy the 'valve' folder from your Half-Life installation in order for all assets to show up*
|
|
**Most UNIX file systems are case-sensitive, so you'll want to rename the .wad files in the cstrike directory to be lowercase only. This will fix most missing texture bugs!**
|
|
|
|
# Notes
|
|
You might get away with using the cstrike folder from the Steam version of Counter-Strike 1.6, or any older version
|
|
than 1.5 - but they are not supported. I will not try to recreate 1.6 or any other earlier versions specifically.
|
|
I may however add additional, optional features that will emulate behaviour of later versions of Counter-Strike.
