# qwsv-lua

This project is a complete conversion from QuakeC to Lua 5.3 of the original `qwprogs` game source and the required engine changes for `qwsv` to support running it.

## Goals

* Complete as-is conversion of QuakeWorld QuakeC source to Lua
 * High compatiblity with original `qwsv` (minimal changes to engine)
 * Portability to production quality forks of `qwsv` like MVDSV
 * Replace built-ins with Lua where possible (`vtos()` etc.)
 * Clean up the source and API where it makes sense, see API.md

## Non-goals

* Changing QW gameplay in the converted progs
 * Adding new functionality to converted progs
 * Changing the engine in any way
 * Engine Windows compatibility

## Nice-to-haves

* Savegame support (patches welcome)
 * NetQuake monsters for single player (patches welcome)

## Building

Requirements:

- Lua 5.3
 - GNU Make and GCC

To build:

```
$ make
```

Run after extracting `pak0.pak` to `id1` directory:

```
$ ./qwsv +gamedir lua
```

Tested to build and run on:

- Fedora 26 x86_64
 - Ubuntu 16.04 x86_64 running on Bash on Windows

## Disclaimer

Original QW source was chosen as the base for simplicity as many forks have extended the built-in functions of QW and those are not needed to run the original game.

Included `qwsv` has been imported as-is from the original source release. That means all bugs and exploits that were present when the source was released are in it so it might not be a good idea to run a public server.

Native Windows compatiblity is not a priority as you can build and run the project with Bash on Ubuntu on Windows.
