# 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.
2017-06-27 00:04:25 +00:00
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:
2017-01-16 19:42:14 +00:00
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
2017-01-15 14:38:31 +00:00
All the weapons are implemented, so are the gamemodes:
- **Hostage Rescue** (cs)
- **Bomb Defusal** (de)
- **Assassination** (as)
- **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
2017-02-25 11:19:42 +00:00
1. Get the latest version of FTEQW from the [website ](http://triptohell.info/moodles/ ).
2017-01-16 19:35:55 +00:00
2. Download csv15full.exe to get the 'cstrike' folder (Use Wine on *NIX because the linux server is missing assets...).
2017-01-16 19:35:09 +00:00
3. Move both the cstrike folder and the FTE QuakeWorld binary 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.
