Retribution Engine Files

Installation
------------

All files in the project are now distributed as zip files only. The title of the zip files should be self-explanatory. If you just want the game install the game package only, if you want the source code install the game and source package.

All zip files come with the same root directory of 'RetribEngine2', make sure to copy to and extract from the same location. If you want the software to be in C:\Retribengine2, copy all required zip files to C:\ right click on each one and select the 'extract here' option. Similarly if you want the software to be in C:\games\RetribEngine2 copy the zip files to C:\games\ and extract them there. Any patch zips should be extracted using the same process so they will overwrite the required files.

The same principles apply for Linux installations. For Linux you will also need to install glfw (see readme.htm in the game package for details), all other dependancies are normally already installed on the major distros. If the game doesn't run, run the game from the command line and the terminal output will tell you what is missing and so what you will need to install (after a quick web search to find what install command is required).

The zip files contain both the Windows and Linux versions of the game. In RetribEngine2\game the Windows executables are the .exe files and linux executables are of the form <program_name>_linux. To play a game you will need to run the launcher by executing retribcf.exe on Windows or retribcf_linux on Linux.
