📕 Description [en]

📜️ "A commercial Sci-fi FPS (Half-Life 1, CD version), to run with FreeHL (pk3 files) & FTE QuakeWorld engine" 📜️ .

Clean-room reimplementation of Half-Life: Deathmatch and Half-Life (Experimental, this means Singleplayer is NOT complete).

Similar to FreeCS, this aims to recreate the feeling of the original game. It's designed to work with the content from the CD version of the game. Currently I do not aim to support the Steam version.
Netplay improvements, such as prediction of both player physics and weapon-logic are present.
This is 100% original code, feel free to audit however you wish. No proprietary SDKs have been looked at or taken apart, unlike similar projects.

The engine you want to use to run this is FTEQW (https://www.fteqw.org), which is a project unrelated to this. It just happens to support the file-formats FreeHL needs.

📕 Description [fr]

Un jeu mixant FPS et aventure, et des fichiers (pk3) permettant de faire fonctionner le moteur FTE QuakeWorld avec Half-Life 1, par Marco Hladik (eukara), Half-Life 1 par le studio Valve Corporation.
Il utilise le moteur FTE QuakeWorld.

Half-Life 1 (HL1) est un FPS mêlant action et aventure sur un thème de science fiction, dans lequel le joueur est le docteur Gordon Freeman, un physicien du complexe scientifique Black Mesa, ayant créé accidentellement une instabilité inter-dimensionnelle ayant permis aux aliens du monde de Xen de s'introduire dans la base. Il devra à la fois lutter contre eux et les soldats du gouvernement envoyés pour nettoyer la zone. Il devra se téléporter sur Xen pour tenter de détruire ses installations maintenant le vortex ouvert. FreeHL est un ensemble de données libres et multi-plateformes (fichiers pk3) permettant de faire fonctionner le moteur FTE QuakeWorld avec Half-Life 1 en version CD (la version Steam n'est pas supportée).


Réimplémentation de Half-Life: Deathmatch et Half-Life (Experimental, cela signifie que le jeu solo n'est PAS complet).

Similaire à FreeCS, il vise à recréer les sensations du jeu original. Il est conçu pour fonctionner avec le contenu de la version CD du jeu. Actuellement, je n'ai pas l'intention de supporter la version Steam.
Des améliorations netplay, comme la prédiction de la physique du joueur et de la logique des armes sont présentes.
Il s'agit d'un code 100% original, n'hésitez pas à l'auditer comme vous le souhaitez. Aucun SDK propriétaire n'a été examiné ou démonté, contrairement à des projets similaires.

Le moteur que vous voulez utiliser pour faire fonctionner ce jeu est FTEQW (https://www.fteqw.org), qui est un projet sans rapport avec celui-ci. Il se trouve qu'il supporte les formats de fichiers dont FreeHL a besoin.
