Add support for xash3D

quicksilver

@ExarKunIv Got them working! Obviously you will need the Steam game files for Blue Shift and Opposing Force and then:

Edit:
See here for launching Bshift and Op Force
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/26486/setting-up-half-life-through-retropie-a-guide?_=1594608040809

Each mod has its own config.cfg so you will to copy the one in the valve folder to the bshift and gearbox directories as well if you made any changes that you want to use.

I also noticed in the config.cfg there is an option for MP3 volume, that might help if your music is playing to softly.

I've got almost everything working except I notice the segmentation fault when I try to cancel the keyboard config. Is this just how it is and I should ignore it to configure by hand?

quicksilver

@RussellB if you compile the latest xash3d you won't have that issue. See my thread here https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/26486/setting-up-half-life-through-retropie-a-guide?_=1594608040809

Ahh, that's why I was having a different configuration than people were describing. I used "hl" instead of "xash3d". Trying that now.

RussellB

I got it installed following the instructions, however 'New Game', 'Training Room' and 'Load Game' are disabled on the main screen. The crash issue is gone. I had permission issues getting it to run where the owner of the valve folder was root. I changed it and everything under it to 'pi' and it runs with the issue I identified. What could I be missing?

Followup:

[13:28:54] Sys_Warn: Could not load client library:
valve/cl_dlls/client.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Failed to find library client.so
client.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But client.so is there and is owned by pi user and is executable.

quicksilver

@RussellB did you accidentally replace the client.so that was compiled by the script module with the one that was included with the original game files?

RussellB

Never mind... I wiped out everything, removed anything left and reinstalled and it worked. I'm using an sdcard/usb drive so that may have been causing me problems with files not getting recognized.

@quicksilver joy_axis_binding "sflpyr" works for the xBox controller, do you know what the binding for a Playstation 3 controller should be?

quicksilver

@jewmoney I dont. Youll need to do some trial and error to see which axis matches up with each setting.

Mapping a joypad button always crashes the game.

Can somebody kindly share with me config text files with mapped joypad buttons for me to take a look at ?

EDIT:
I switched to xash3d-fwgs and everything works now

I am running xash3d-fwgs and im not able to even use my game pad controller in game, it only recognized mouse and keyboard? how did were you able to map a controller?

Sorry to bring this up again, but I tried everything and I still can't get my XBOX 360 controller to work. The look up/down on the right analog stick let me turn left and right as already described here. But all changes on the Axis in the config is not doing anything. Any ideas?

karl0001

@karl0001 I got the solution myself. The issue was the xpad driver installed by Retropie. Once I uninstalled it everything works. Have a look here: https://github.com/Fredrum/chiaki/issues/14
