URDE

Status: In-Game with 0-00 (v1.088) only

Official Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/AMBVFuf

Download

Precompiled builds of the command-line extraction utility (hecl) with embedded dataspec libraries are available at https://releases.axiodl.com. This will give you intermediate dumps of original formats as blender and yaml representations.

Everything else is much too experimental to make portable/stable release builds (for now)

Platform Support

• Windows 7+ (64-bit support only)
• macOS 10.11+
• Linux
  • Arch is known to function with glx vendor setup instructions (main development/testing OS)
  • [WIP] Vulkan loader detection is also integrated into the cmake for Linux
• [Coming Soon] FreeBSD
  • Much multimedia functionality is in place, but not fully tested

Usage

• Extract ISO: hecl extract [path].iso -o mp1
  • mp1 can be substituted with the directory name of your choice
• Repackage game for URDE: cd mp1; hecl package
• Run URDE: urde mp1/out

URDE options (non-exhaustive)

• -l: Enable console logging
• --warp [worldid] [areaid]: Warp to a specific world/area. Example: --warp 2 2
• +developer=1: Enable developer console

Build Prerequisites:

• CMake 3.13+
  • For Windows: Install CMake Tools in Visual Studio
• Python 3+
  • For Windows: Microsoft Store
  • Verify it's added to %PATH% by typing python in cmd.
• LLVM development package (headers and libs)
  • Specialized Windows Package
  • Specialized macOS Package
• [Windows] Visual Studio 2019 Community
  • Select C++ Development and verify the following packages are included:
    • Windows 10 SDK
    • CMake Tools
    • C++ Clang Compiler
    • C++ Clang-cl
• [macOS] Xcode Tools
• [Linux] recent development packages of udev, x11, xcb, xinput, glx, asound

Prep Directions

git clone --recursive https://github.com/AxioDL/urde.git
mkdir urde-build
cd urde-build

Build Directions

ninja

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -G Ninja ../urde
ninja

CMake options

• Build release optimized (better runtime performance): -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
• Use clang+lld (faster linking): -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++
• Optimize for current CPU (resulting binaries are not portable): -DURDE_VECTOR_ISA=native

CLion

(main development / debugging IDE)

Open the repository's CMakeLists.txt.

Configure CMake options via File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > CMake.

It's recommended to create a new Toolchain with clang/clang++ and configure the CMake profiles to use it.

Qt Creator

Open the repository's CMakeLists.txt via File > Open File or Project.

Configure the desired CMake targets to build in the Projects area of the IDE.

Build / Debug / Run on Windows, macOS and Linux in a unified way.

Visual Studio

Verify all required VS packages are installed from the above Build Prerequisites section.

Open the urde directory in Visual Studio (automatically imports CMake configuration).

Follow these instructions to use clang-cl. The build will not work with the normal VS compiler!

Xcode

cmake -G Xcode -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DLLVM_ROOT_DIR=<path-to-llvm-dev-package> ../urde

Then open urde.xcodeproj
