# FreeCS
2017-01-15 14:28:38 +00:00
Free-software implementation of Counter-Strike running on the FTE QuakeWorld engine.
2017-01-15 14:28:14 +00:00
You still have to provide the assets yourself, but hey - CS 1.5 is a free download.

# Goals
2017-01-15 14:29:21 +00:00
The goal of this project is to provide an open-source version of Counter-Strike 1.5.
2016-12-01 22:14:02 +00:00
Counter-Strike, being one of the most popular multiplayer games to exist, surprisingly hasn't had
2016-12-05 00:22:52 +00:00
a free-software implementation done until now.
2016-12-01 22:14:02 +00:00
2016-12-05 00:22:52 +00:00
Some of the cool things you can do with this:
2017-01-15 14:36:04 +00:00
*Play/Host CS and CS Servers on virtually every platform.
*Customize the game to whatever extent you like.
*Create entirely new weapons!
*Create completely new and refreshing gamemodes!
*Have a guarantee to be able to play it 20 years into the future!
*Use it as a base for your own games/mods!

# Status
2017-01-15 14:36:04 +00:00
All the weapons are implemented, so are the gamemodes: **Hostage Rescue** (cs), **Bomb Defusal** (de), **Assassination** (as) and **Escape** (es).
2017-01-08 14:18:55 +00:00
Not all equipment is implemented and no map radar/overview is recreated.
Basically, the game is playable as long as you don't care about grenades (for now).

# Installing
2016-12-01 22:14:02 +00:00
1. Download the latest version of FTE QuakeWorld.
2017-01-15 14:28:14 +00:00
2. Download csv15full.exe (or the Linux server zip) to get the 'cstrike' folder.
2016-12-01 22:14:02 +00:00
3. Move both the cstrike folder and FTE QuakeWorld into a folder
2017-01-15 14:28:14 +00:00
4. Copy the contents of FreeCS into that same folder, so that fteqw, freecs, default.fmf and cstrike co-exist in the same directory.
2016-12-01 22:14:02 +00:00
5. Run FTE QuakeWorld
2016-12-05 00:22:52 +00:00
2017-01-15 14:28:14 +00:00
*Optional step: Copy the 'valve' folder from your Half-Life installation in order for all assets to show up*

# Notes
2017-01-15 14:10:55 +00:00
You might get away with using the cstrike folder from the Steam version of Counter-Strike 1.6, or any older version
2017-01-08 14:18:55 +00:00
than 1.5 - but they are not supported. I will not try to recreate 1.6 or any other earlier versions specifically.
2017-01-15 14:10:55 +00:00
I may however add additional, optional features that will emulate behaviour of later versions of Counter-Strike.
