Compiling D2X-Rebirth Sourcecode on a *NIX System
|
||
|
||
This file describes how to compile D2X-Rebirth from Source.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Requirements
|
||
|
||
1.
|
||
C/C++ compiler (gcc/g++)
|
||
2.
|
||
SCons
|
||
3.
|
||
SDL(-devel)
|
||
4.
|
||
PhysFS(-devel)
|
||
5.
|
||
GLU/GL
|
||
6.
|
||
NASM (optional for Assembler-based Texture-mapper in non-OpenGL Build)
|
||
|
||
|
||
Compiling
|
||
|
||
The SConstruct file provides various options to compile this program.
|
||
To get a full list of all available commands, type scons -h within the Source directory.
|
||
|
||
Currently, the following variables are supported:
|
||
|
||
'sharepath=DIR' (*NIX only) use DIR for shared game data. (default: /usr/local/share/games/d2x-rebirth)
|
||
'sdl_only=1' don't include OpenGL, use SDL-only instead
|
||
'sdlmixer=1' (*NIX only) use SDL_Mixer for sound (includes external music support)
|
||
'no_asm=1' don't use ASSEMBLER (only with sdl_only=1)
|
||
'debug=1' build DEBUG binary which includes asserts, debugging output, cheats and more output
|
||
'profiler=1' do profiler build
|
||
'console=1' build with console support !EXPERIMENTAL!
|
||
'editor=1' build editor !EXPERIMENTAL!
|
||
'arm=1' compile for ARM architecture
|
||
'gp2x=1' compile for GP2X handheld
|
||
|
||
‘sdlmixer’ as well as ‘editor’ are currently *not* supported and may not work.
|
||
|
||
To compile the source, type:
|
||
|
||
scons
|
||
|
||
|
||
If you wish to add additional commands, just add them to the scons command.
|
||
Example:
|
||
|
||
scons sdl_only=1 no_asm=1
|
||
|
||
|
||
To install the compiled binary to your system (/usr/local/bin/), type (as root):
|
||
|
||
scons install
|
||
|
||
You can also add the ‘install’ command while compile-time. SCons will compile and install the binary right after that.
|
||
|
||
To clean up the source directory after installation, type:
|
||
|
||
scons -c
|
||
|
||
|
||
Needed files
|
||
|
||
Since D2X-Rebirth is a Sourceport of the Descent2-Engine you will need the Game-Content data files to run the game.
|
||
|
||
Following files are needed to run the game:
|
||
|
||
descent2.ham
|
||
descent2.hog
|
||
descent2.s11
|
||
descent2.s22
|
||
alien1.pig
|
||
alien2.pig
|
||
fire.pig
|
||
groupa.pig
|
||
ice.pig
|
||
water.pig
|
||
intro-h.mvl and/or intro-l.mvl
|
||
other-h.mvl and/or other-l.mvl
|
||
robots-h.mvl and/or robots-l.mvl
|
||
|
||
These files - except the Movies (*.mvl) - are archived in the file
|
||
|
||
descent2.sow
|
||
|
||
on the Descent2 CD-Rom.
|
||
This is an ARJ-archive and can be extracted with an adapted archiver like ‘unarj’ or by installing the game on a Windows/DOS system.
|
||
|
||
Those files need to be copied to the Sharepath, which is (if not specified with the SCons ‘sharepath’-variable) /usr/local/share/games/d2x-rebirth/
|
||
|
||
|
||
Optional files
|
||
|
||
D2X-Rebirth is expandable. You can add additional content to the game.
|
||
|
||
Supported content:
|
||
|
||
*
|
||
Vertigo series AddOn
|
||
Can be added by copying the files
|
||
|
||
d2x-h.mvl and/or d2x-l.mvl
|
||
hoard.ham
|
||
|
||
to the Sharepath and
|
||
|
||
d2x.hog
|
||
d2x.mn2
|
||
|
||
to ‘missions/’ subdirectory in the Sharepath. All these files should be located on the ‘Vertigo Series’ CD-Rom
|
||
|
||
*
|
||
Custom/AddOn missions
|
||
Those can be found on several websites. Add them to the game by copying them to subdirectoy ‘missions/’ of the Sharepath.

German translation: http://www.dxx-rebirth.de/download/dxx/res/D2XBDE01.zip
|
||
Copy the txb-files to the Sharepath. Will be activated automatically
|
||
|
||
|
||
Launching the program
|
||
|
||
After compiling and installing, the program can be launched with the command
|
||
|
||
d2x-rebirth-gl
|
||
|
||
or - if it has been compiled with SCons parameter ‘sdl_only=1’ -
|
||
|
||
d2x-rebirth-sdl
|
||
|
||
To see a full list of available command-line options append ‘-h’, ‘-?’ to the command or refer file
|
||
|
||
d2x.ini
|
||
|
||
|
||
The game will create a config-directory in the Home directory of the user called ‘.d2x-rebirth’.
|
||
It is used to read/save
|
||
|

|
||
Configuration files
|
||

|
||
Pilot profiles and Savegames

|
||
d2x.ini for parsing command-line arguments
|
||
|
||
Thanks to PhysFS it can also be used as a replacement for Sharepath directory
