Xash3D FWGS is a cross-platform fork of the Xash3D Engine created by Unkle Mike, offering enhanced features. It aimed to provide compatibility with the Half-Life Engine and provide game developers with a familiar workflow while also expanding on it.

This port offers basic support for the PlayStation Vita. Partially based on the old engine port.

ref_gl works through vitaGL like in the old port, this time properly integrated with SDL. A customized immediate mode implementation (utils/vgl_shim) was used on top of it for better performance.

Unlike the old port this one uses shared libraries for filesystem, renderers and game DLLs via the dynamic linker.

Fork features:

Steam Half-Life (HLSDK 2.5) support.
Crossplatform and modern compilers support: supports Windows, Linux, BSD & Android on x86 & ARM and many more.
Better multiplayer: multiple master servers, headless dedicated server, voice chat, GoldSrc protocol support and IPv6 support.
Multiple renderers support: OpenGL, GLESv1, GLESv2 and Software.
Advanced virtual filesystem: .pk3 and .pk3dir support, compatibility with GoldSrc FS module, fast case-insensitivity emulation for crossplatform.
Mobility API: better game integration on mobile devices (vibration, touch controls).
Different input methods: touch and gamepad in addition to mouse & keyboard.
TrueType font rendering, as a part of mainui_cpp.
External VGUI support module.
PNG & KTX2 image format support.
Ogg Vorbis (.ogg) & Ogg Opus (.opus) audio formats support.
A set of small improvements, without broken compatibility.

Installation

For the following instructions it is assumed your PS Vita's SD card is mounted at ux0.

If you have an installation of the old version of the port, delete it.
If you don't already have it, install kubridge by copying kubridge.skprx to your taiHEN plugins folder (usually ux0:tai) and adding it to your config.txt like so:

*KERNEL
ux0:tai/kubridge.skprx

If you don't already have it, install libshacccg.suprx by following this guide.
Install xash.vpk.
Copy the data folder from the archive to the root of your PS Vita's SD card (ux0:/).
Copy the valve folder and any other mod folders from your Half-Life install to ux0:/data/xash3d/. Do not overwrite anything.
