Installation

This manual describes the installation of the latest build of PrimeXT, in the future, for release builds, the algorithm will be slightly different. If you already have the engine installed, you can skip step 1. It is recommended to periodically manually update the engine, as development does not stand still and bug fixes and new functionality periodically appear.

Tip

Keep in mind that PrimeXT only supports latest Xash3D FWGS builds, vanilla Xash3D or old FWGS builds will not work properly.

1. Engine installation​

  • Select and download Xash3D FWGS engine build for your platform (in case of Windows, use file xash3d-fwgs-win32-i386.7z for 32-bit, or file xash3d-fwgs-win32-amd64.7z for 64-bit), then unpack all the files from the archive into a some directory. In next steps, the "engine directory" will mean this exact directory.
  • Copy folder valve from your bought Half-Life 1 copy to the engine directory.
  • Run xash3d.exe/xash3d.sh/xash3d depending on your platform.

2. PrimeXT development build installation​

  • Download PrimeXT development build for your platform, then unpack all the files from the archive into the engine directory. Please note that engine build and PrimeXT build must be for the same platform and architecture.
  • Download PrimeXT content and copy folder primext from archive into engine directory.
  • Installation completed! You can run game using primext.exe/primext_run file.
