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 this Version 0.19 is actually broken as client, please use 0.20

./install-xash3ds.sh client install 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/xash3ds-installscript/build/result

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 [Version]

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