Xash3D on NixOS

README.md

1. (this isn't necessary if you're on a 32-bit x86 platform) Copy files from fwgs-hlsdk derivation to Half-Life dir (there shouldn't be any conflicting files). Example output with an AMD64 host platform:

fwgs-hlsdk-2023-02-22
└── valve
    ├── cl_dlls
    │   └── client_amd64.so
    └── dlls
        └── hl_amd64.so

In comparison, original Half-Life uses valve/cl_dlls/client.so and valve/dlls/hl.so, so in this case there aren't any conflicts.

2. Run xash3d from the xash3d-fwgs derivation like this:

XASH3D_BASEDIR=~/.local/share/xash3d XASH3D_RODIR=/path/to/Half-Life xash3d
