Scientist models for Half-Life.

Please note that while this repository is licensed under CC BY-NC 4.0, most of the textures, geometry, and animations are based on work that is the property of Valve and Gearbox.

Development

All development is done on Linux. While it is possible to get this working on Windows, I don't really want to spend time on that. Gaming on Linux is really good now, so why not join us?

Git submodules

When cloning this repository, make sure to use the --recurse-submodules (or --recurse) flag to also include Git submodules containing shared source files. You won't be able to compile if you skip this.

Git LFS

If you need to access the model and texture source files (such as Photoshop PSDs, etc.), you'll also need to have Git LFS installed for git to pull them. If you install it after checking out this repository, you'll need to open a terminal, navigate to the repo root, and run:

git lfs install
git lfs fetch
git lfs checkout

This will update the repository's hooks, then download and check out the LFS files, replacing the pointer files with their actual contents.

See git-lfs-install(1), git-lfs-fetch(1), and git-lfs-checkout(1).

Requirements

Basic requirements

1. Make
2. GNU Core Utilities (a.k.a. coreutils)
3. sed
4. Wget
5. unzip
6. ImageMagick 7 or newer as a magick command found somewhere in your path

All but ImageMagick are usually pre-installed on most flavours of Linux.

Building

Open a terminal in root of this repostory and run:

Half-Life

make build-hl

Opposing Force

make build-opfor

Blue Shift

make build-bshift

Decay: Solo Mission

make build-decay

All at once

All of the above can be built all at once by running:

make build-all-games

and to do all of that plus copying to each mod or game:

make build-to-all-games
