0.20: https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs
0.19: https://gitlab.com/tyabus/xash3d
```

To install the server run following command in the directory where you checked this git into
```
./install-xash3ds.sh server install [Version]
```

To install the FULL PLAYABLE client with all game data (steamcmd thx <3) run 

```
./install-xash3d.sh client install 0.20 
```
(Version 0.19 is actually broken as client, please use `0.20`)

Your server or gamefiles (you can run server first and then rerun afterwards with client to get the full package) are in
```
/path/to/repo/xash3d-installscript/xash3d
```

from there you can run the server 
```
./start.sh
```

or the game to have a frag
```
./start-xash3d.sh
```

You can easly update both, client and server (example client):
```
./install-xash3d.sh client update 0.20
```

Have a look on my servers at https://HL.LA10CY.NET :) Happy fragging!
