Compiling the Source Code - Subject9x/battleMETAL GitHub Wiki

How To: Compile Game code

Primer from insideqc.com

http://www.insideqc.com/qctut/started.shtml

/metaldata directory structure

\<path>\<to>\<game>\
[.exe, .dll, etc] \metaldata \ -> holds ALL game assets .pak3 etc

1) Create Source Code Folder in \metaldata \

Name this folder anything you'd like, I used 'qc'
Clone the 'Master' branch of this repo to the 'qc' folder.

2) Inside 'qc' you will see the .exe called:

fteqcc.exe, this is the quake C compiler.

3) Double Left Mouse Button Click the fteqcc.exe

This will open the exe and show you the compiler's UI
click the 'Compile' button to compile code.

4) Compiled code is placed in a file called 'progs.dat'

this is the 'server' code for the game, and is housed in /metaldata /
to compile the Menu System, see the /metaldata /qc/menu/ folder (menu.dat)
to compile the mission briefing menus, see the /metaldata /qc/client/ folder (csqc.dat)
