Description: Script to install an Xash3D engine full game client or dedicated server with game data from steamcmd

Example:


1) Install client version 0.20 located in ~/Games/Xash3D where the build directory is as well
  
  XASH_INSTALL_DIR=~/Games/Xash3D XASH_BUILD_DIR=$XASH_INSTALL_DIR/build ./install-xash3d.sh client install 0.20
  
2) Install server version '0.19' into '~/opt/xashds_oldengine'

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!
