Maybe he means the aiming deadzone. In later games you can disable it in the settings, which makes the aiming feel more responsive / precise.

I am not a programmer or anything like that. I only pulled this CWR repo, wanted to build it with the command that was mentioned in the readme "cmake --build build/linux-x64-clang-rwdi" but when I did that I got a nice red colored error saying that "vcpkg.make" was missing. Then I just googled it how to fix that.

I never heard of vcpkg before this incident.

@sera-ina Great, I think that's enough for Arch Linux quick start. Speaking of VCPKG, do you have any idea how other projects are usi...

I can only say for Arch Linux, but when I first was trying to build I got an error that "vcpkg.cmake" could not be found. I then installed vcpkg via the package manager but that still was not enough.

After looking up a bit I actually had to pull this repo
https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg

and set the environment variable to that folder (export VCPKG_ROOT=$HOME/git/vcpkg") so it could actually use it.

Also I needed to install these packages, but those were at least listed in the error so they were easy to solve (but this one was on me as I didn't had base-devel installsted which comes with those except ccache, still a fresh arch install):
autoconf autoconf-archive automake libtool ccache

Only after all these steps, the build (cmake --build build/linux-x64-clang-rwdi) actually managed to finish.

Hello @darkranger-red @RevengeRip @aLink536. This deserves some docs update (feel free to send PRs to https://github.com/ofpisnotdead-com/CWR-CE). In short - engine deps are built solely using vcpkg for now (indeed building all from scratch on Linux, even dev packages are installed). This is trade-off done for smooth Windows development where it is not simple to install dev packages (and what vcpkg was per my understanding created for). I'm happy to get explained how to shape build system better for Linux. I'm using Fedora 44 on my own and except some vcpkg hiccups I had no issues with the build so far.

To test the binary indeed you need Steam Demo files for now. Even game is fully compatible with original files, it needs to load new config (included in demo, will be included in full game also).

It is really unclear and I do apologize for. It was already reported at https://github.com/ofpisnotdead-com/CWR-CE/issues/8 and https://github.com/ofpisnotdead-com/CWR-CE/issues/29 and I have...

Hello @VTILServer and @sera-ina. Would you mind to explain more on your issues?

We have updated briefly the README with a little more instructions. I'm happy to help and update/create some dev docs to help onboard new hackers to the codebase once you share more.

Hello @arielkuzminski, sad to hear your expectations were not met. There's probably nothing I can help with.

But what I can try to help with is the player/crosshair movement issue you have mentioned. Would you mind to share what exactly is the issue? Is it the speed/sensitivity problem? There is some progress on that at https://github.com/ofpisnotdead-com/CWR-CE/pull/13. Or is that overall movement feeling? Would you mind to share suggestions how to improve this? I'm happy to explore and introduce more mouse/crosshair movement options.

+1 same issue on fedora 44

Thank you!

I think they didn't update main game yet so it's not compatible with Remastered. `PoseidonGameDemo` I built works just fine on Demo data.

True that. I had to look up (on Linux) quite a bit why vcpkg.cmake was not found even with vcpkg being installed by my package manager. Found out I actually had to pull the git repo of vcpkg and set VCPKG_ROOT env to it be able to build it.

This is amazing thank you so much ❤️

So much love! I actually have a bunch of original OFP/Red Hammer/Resistance mods on my NAS, any idea if they will "Just Work™"?

Ungrateful ahh
