# 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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
If you're playing a mod that relies on FreeHL, selecting it from the Custom Game
|
|
menu alone works fine. However if you want to launch it via the command-line
|
|
you need to make sure to add `-game valve` before `-game modname`.
|
|
The order is important.
