# FreeHL
Clean-room reimplementation of Half-Life: Deathmatch and Half-Life (Experimental).
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.
The engine you want to use to run this is FTEQW (https://www.fteqw.org), which is a project
unrelated to this. It just happens to support the file-formats FreeHL needs.

## Building
Clone the repository into the Nuclide-SDK:
> git clone REPOURL valve
then either run Nuclide's ./build_game.sh shell script, or issue 'make' inside
./valve/src!
Obviously make sure that Nuclide has fteqw and fteqcc set-up for building and that you have some proficiency in QuakeC.
