|
|
These are only binaries for a rewritten, specific version of
|
|
Counter-Strike, the mod. It has nothing to do with the CS games of the
|
|
past 15 years.<br><br>Q: Why emulate Counter-Strike 1.5?<br>A:
|
|
It was the last release handled by the original CS team. It's the
|
|
version me and my friends preferred playing (we did not care about the
|
|
new weapons and that shield they added...) and it's free for Half-Life
|
|
owners.<br><br>Q: Should I have to own Half-Life to play this?<br>A:
|
|
In short: Yes. It will run without. Hell, it can even "run" without the CS content.
|
|
But you certainly will have difficulties connecting to FreeCS servers.<br><br>Q: Why do I have to download CS 1.5 manually?<br>A: Legal reasons, cannot re-distribute them without potentially causing some trouble.<br><br>Q: Why is this not using the Half-Life engine?<br>A:
|
|
Many reasons. The SDK for that engine does not encourage free and
|
|
open-source software. Open-sourcing a Half-Life mod is actually
|
|
against the EULA of that SDK. Making it a QuakeWorld mod means I own
|
|
all the rights to it, too. Secondly, CS 1.5 does not run on Steam
|
|
Half-Life. Even if it did, it would only run on Windows.<br><br>Q: What does FreeCS mean?<br>A: Primarily
|
|
it stands for Free Counter-Strike, as in Free-Software... it can also
|
|
mean "free" as in free beer because you don't have to pay anything to
|
|
download FreeCS itself. Some people have also speculated that it's a
|
|
political message... gotta love synonyms!<br><br>Q: Can I connect to Counter-Strike 1.5 servers with this?<br>A: No.<br><br>Q: Can I connect to (anything other than FreeCS) with this?<br>A: No.<br><br>Q: Hey, can I take redistribute this on the PlayStore and make money off of this?<br>A:
|
|
You'd be a scumbag if you did. If you want to contribute towards a proper Android version, please do.<br><br>Q: What motivated you to do all this?<br>A:
|
|
Good
|
|
memories, love, passion for Counter-Strike. Also as a middle finger to
|
|
anyone who told me to "do it better" when criticising a new CS game.
|
|
Besides, x86 will go away eventually. Making CS run on an engine that
|
|
has already been ported to multiple platforms ensures that we won't
|
|
have to emulate WON Half-Life to play anymore!<br><br>Q: How can I contact you for further questions?<br>A: E-Mail! Please send it to: marco at icculus dot org<br>
