# Rad-Therapy (FreeHL)
|
|
|
|
Clean-room reimplementation of Valve Corporation's 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](https://www.fteqw.org) and [the latest release .pk3 file](https://www.frag-net.com/pkgs/package_valve.pk3), 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.
