## Installing 
To run it, all you need is [FTEQW](https://www.fteqw.org), [Rad-Therapy](https://www.frag-net.com/pkgs/package_valve.pk3), and [the latest release .pk3 file](https://www.frag-net.com/pkgs/package_cstrike.pk3), which you save into `Half-Life/valve/` and `Half-Life/cstrike/` respectively. That's about it. You can install updates through the **Configuration > Updates** menu from here on out.

### Disclaimer
Please **do not** file bugs if you see missing/broken content **while not** using the original data. The version on Steam is not the same game as the mod (which was free)

## Building
Here's the quick and dirty instructions:

```
$ git clone https://code.idtech.space/vera/nuclide Nuclide-SDK && cd Nuclide-SDK

# (only required if you don't have an up-to-date FTEQW & FTEQCC in your PATH)
$ make update && make fteqw

# build the menu (from valve/) then our own game-logic:
$ git clone https://code.idtech.space/fn/valve valve && make game GAME=valve
$ git clone https://code.idtech.space/fn/cstrike cstrike && make game GAME=cstrike
```

You can also issue `make` inside `valve/src/` and `cstrike/src`, but it won't generate some additional helper files.

** !! You need to also provide data-files !! **

This should be self explanatory.
