# Command & Conquer Renegade
|
||
|
||
This repository includes source code for Command & Conquer Renegade. This release provides support to the [Steam Workshop](https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=2229890) for the game.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Dependencies
|
||
|
||
If you wish to rebuild the source code and tools successfully you will need to find or write new replacements (or remove the code using them entirely) for the following libraries;
|
||
|
||
- DirectX SDK (Version 8.0 or higher) (expected path `\Code\DirectX\`)
|
||
- RAD Bink SDK - (expected path `\Code\BinkMovie\`)
|
||
- RAD Miles Sound System SDK - (expected path `\Code\Miles6\`)
|
||
- NvDXTLib SDK - (expected path `\Code\NvDXTLib\`)
|
||
- Lightscape SDK - (expected path `\Code\Lightscape\`)
|
||
- Umbra SDK - (expected path `\Code\Umbra\`)
|
||
- GameSpy SDK - (expected path `\Code\GameSpy\`)
|
||
- GNU Regex - (expected path `\Code\WWLib\`)
|
||
- SafeDisk API - (expected path `\Code\Launcher\SafeDisk\`)
|
||
- Microsoft Cab Archive Library - (expected path `\Code\Installer\Cab\`)
|
||
- RTPatch Library - (expected path `\Code\Installer\`)
|
||
- Java Runtime Headers - (expected path `\Code\Tools\RenegadeGR\`)
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Compiling (Win32 Only)
|
||
|
||
To use the compiled binaries, you must own the game. The C&C Ultimate Collection is available for purchase on [EA App](https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/command-and-conquer/command-and-conquer-the-ultimate-collection/buy/pc) or [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/39394/Command__Conquer_The_Ultimate_Collection/).
|
||
|
||
### Renegade
|
||
|
||
The quickest way to build all configurations in the project is to open `commando.dsw` in Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 6.0 (SP5 recommended for binary matching to patch 1.037) and select Build -> Batch Build, then hit the “Rebuild All” button.
|
||
|
||
If you wish to compile the code under a modern version of Microsoft Visual Studio, you can convert the legacy project file to a modern MSVC solution by opening the `commando.dsw` in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003, and then opening the newly created project and solution file in MSVC 2015 or newer.
|
||
|
||
NOTE: As modern versions of MSVC enforce newer revisions of the C++ standard, you will need to make extensive changes to the codebase before it successfully compiles, even more so if you plan on compiling for the Win64 platform.
|
||
|
||
When the workspace has finished building, the compiled binaries will be copied to the `/Run/` directory found in the root of this repository.
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Free Dedicated Server
|
||
It’s possible to build the Windows version of the FDS (Free Dedicated Server) for Command & Conquer Renegade from the source code in this repository, just uncomment `#define FREEDEDICATEDSERVER` in [Combat\specialbuilds.h](Combat\specialbuilds.h) and perform a “Rebuild All” action on the Release config.
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Level Edit (Public Release)
|
||
To build the public release build of Level Edit, modify the LevelEdit project settings and add `PUBLIC_EDITOR_VER` to the preprocessor defines.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Known Issues
|
||
|
||
The “Debug” configuration of the “Commando” project (the Renegade main project) will sometimes fail to link the final executable. This is due to Windows Defender incorrectly detecting RenegadeD.exe containing a virus (possibly due to the embedded browser code). Excluding the output `/Run/` folder found in the root of this repository in Windows Defender should resolve this for you.
