How to build your MurderMystery.PK3 from this repository

Please note that MAKE scripts generate the Debug (Test) versions of the Add-On and it is highly recomended to HOST THESE BUILDS ONLY ON PRIVATE SERVERS. Release versions of the Add-On, which are tested and approved to be showcased publicly, are available in Releases

If you have git installed

1. Open your Terminal (Command Prompt in Windows)
2. Clone this repository with git clone https://github.com/LeonardoTheMutant/SRB2-Murder-Mystery command
3. Go to the folder of the cloned repository (cd SRB2-MurderMystery)
4. Launch one of the MAKE scripts (MAKE.BAT for Windows or MAKE.SH for macOS/Linux) to generate the Debug version of the Add-On

In case you don't have git

1. Download the contents of this repository as a .ZIP archive
2. Unarchive the downloaded .ZIP wherever you want on your machine
3. Go to the unarchived folder and run one of the MAKE (MAKE.BAT for Windows or MAKE.SH for macOS/Linux) scripts to generate the Debug version of the SRB2-MM Add-On

How to start the server with Murder Mystery Add-On

From command line

1. Add the -server parameter to your prompt to make SRB2 start as Listen Server or -dedicated to start a dedicated server instead;
2. Add -file parameter with a path to the add-on file you wanna use like this:-file [path_to_the_addon];
3. Use -gametype parameter to specify the gametype you want to start server with. In case of Murder Mystery it must be -gametype "Murder Mystery";
4. You probably don't want to start from Greenflower 1 so don't forget to add -warp to start the game from the specified level. To start from "Abandoned Shelter" map use -warp MAPK0

This is what your SRB2 launch prompt should look like at the end (I use Windows build here): srb2win.exe -server (-dedicated) -file [place_where_addon_located]/[MurderMystery-packname].pk3 -gametype "Murder Mystery" -warp MAPK0

Don't forget to replace [] brackets with your path and the name of your .PK3 file you are going to use respectively.

From in-game console

MAP [MMmapnum] -GAMETYPE "Murder Mystery"

Brackets are important in "Murder Mystery"! As a [MMmapnum] you can use MAPK0 (Abandoned Shelter)

For people who want to contribute to the project

All contributions would be greatly appreciated especially maps, music, graphics, ideas, bug fixes or even translations! Yes you read it right, this gametype supports localisations on different languages. You can add your own language to the project by either

1. Modifying the source code you are having right now
2. Making a Custom Language File from the template and then adding it as a regular ADD-ON together with MM (Main Add-On has to be loaded first)
