Vulkan Serious Engine port based on open source version.

Prerequisites:

• Vulkan Header files and API registry
• Vulkan Validation Layers
• Vulkan Installable Client Driver (ICD) Loader

This is the source code for Serious Engine v.1.10, including the following projects:

• DedicatedServer
• Ecc The Entity Class Compiler, a custom build tool used to compile *.es files
• Engine Serious Engine 1.10
• EngineGUI Common GUI things for game tools
• EntitiesMP All the entity logic
• GameGUIMP Common GUI things for game tools
• GameMP All the game logic
• Modeler Serious Modeler
• RCon Used to connect to servers using an admin password
• SeriousSam The main game executable
• SeriousSkaStudio Serious Ska Studio
• WorldEditor Serious Editor
• DecodeReport Used to decode crash *.rpt files
• Depend Used to build a list of dependency files based on a list of root files
• LWSkaExporter Exporter for use in LightWave
• MakeFONT Used for generating *.fnt files
• Shaders Compiled shaders
• GameAgent The serverlist masterserver written in Python
• libogg, libvorbis Third party libraries used for playing OGG-encoded ingame music (see http://www.vorbis.com/ for more information)

Type this in your terminal:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libsdl2-dev cmake libvorbis-dev flex bison git libxxhash-dev
sudo apt-get install libvulkan1 libvulkan-dev vulkan-validationlayers vulkan-validationlayers-dev

Note: libsdl2-dev version >= 2.0.6, vulkan packages version >= 1.2.xxx

• For Debian 10, you can install vulkan packages from backports.

There are still many asserts in the engine. Most of them are irrelevant and should be removed, but while it's not done, the asserts will effectively kill the engine when triggered in the Debug build. Use Release or RelWithDebInfo build if you intend to play (automatically set as RelWithDebInfo in the build scripts).

Type this in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/tx00100xt/SeriousSamClassic-VK.git SeriousSamClassic-VK

If you have access to a copy of the game (either by CD or through Steam), you can copy the *.gro files from the game directory to the repository. (SeriousSamClassic-VK/SamTFE is the directory of the game Serious Sam Classic The First Encounter, SeriousSamClassic-VK/SamTSE is the directory of the game Serious Sam Classic The Second Encounter)

Type this in your terminal:

cd SeriousSamClassic-VK/SamTFE/Sources
./build-linux64.sh -DTFE=TRUE	# use build-linux32.sh for 32-bits

Type this in your terminal:

cd SeriousSamClassic-VK/SamTSE/Sources
./build-linux64.sh        	# use build-linux32.sh for 32-bits

To build a game for gentoo, use a https://github.com/tx00100xt/serioussam-overlay containing ready-made ebuilds for building the game and add-ons.

To build a game under Arch Linux you can use the package from AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/serioussam-vk

The build for raspberry pi is similar to the build for Linux, you just need to add an additional build key.

cd SeriousSamClassic/SamTFE/Sources
./build-linux64.sh -DTFE=TRUE -DRPI4=TRUE	# use build-linux32.sh for 32-bits

for Serious Sam Classic The First Encounter, or for Serious Sam Classic The Second Encounter:

cd SeriousSamClassic/SamTSE/Sources
./build-linux64.sh -DRPI4=TRUE           	# use build-linux32.sh for 32-bits

Note that the CD version of SS:TSE used MP3 for music. You will need to build / get libamp11lib.so and copy it inside Bin with the other libs to have music. Steam version uses ogg and doesn't need this library.

This version of the engine comes with a set of resources (\SE1_10b.GRO) that allow you to freely use the engine without any additional resources required. You can buy the original games on Steam, as a part of a bundle with Serious Sam Revolution ( http://store.steampowered.com/app/227780 )

2. Build game from source code or Download latest release and copy the latest files from the game directory to SamTFE/Bin
3. Copy all *.gro files, Help folder and Levels folder from the game directory to SamTFE directory. At the current time the files are:
   • Help (folder)
   • Levels (folder)
   • 1_00_ExtraTools.gro
   • 1_00_music.gro
   • 1_00c.gro

4. Start the game
   • ./run_game.sh or ./run_game_hud.sh (for start game with MangoHUD)

1. Locate the game directory for "Serious Sam Classic The Second Encounter" (steam)
2. Build game from source code or Download latest release and copy the latest files from the game directory to SamTSE/Bin
3. Copy all *.gro files and Help folder from the game directory to SamTSE directory. At the current time the files are:
   • Help (folder)
   • SE1_00.gro
   • SE1_00_Extra.gro
   • SE1_00_ExtraTools.gro
   • SE1_00_Levels.gro

   • 1_07_tools.gro
4. Start the game
   • ./run_game.sh or ./run_game_hud.sh (for start game with MangoHUD)

1. Edit the build script by adding a parameter to the cmake command:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr 

2. Build game from source code with script.
3. Install the game:

cd cmake-build
sudo make install

4. Put game data in (Recommended):

/usr/share/serioussam/ - for TFE
/usr/share/serioussamse/ - for TSE

or

~/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussam/ - for TFE
~/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussamse/ - for TSE

4. Type in console:

serioussam       	# for run Serious Sam Classic The First Encounter

or

serioussamse       	# for run Serious Sam Classic The Second Encounter

Note: If the game does not find the data on the recommended paths, then it will independently perform a search.

Type this in your terminal:

cd SeriousSamClassic-VK/SamTFE/Sources
./build-linux64xplus.sh -DTFE=TRUE	# use build-linux32xplus.sh for 32-bits

Download: Xplus TFE from Google Drive or Xplus TFE from pCloud, and unpack to SeriousSamClassic/SamTFE/Mods directory. To start the modification, use the game menu - item Modification.

Type this in your terminal:

cd SeriousSamClassic-VK/SamTSE/Sources
./build-linux64xplus.sh        	    # use build-linux32xplus.sh for 32-bits

Download: Xplus TSE from Google Drive or Xplus TSE from pCloud,, and unpack to SeriousSamClassic/SamTSE/Mods directory. To start the modification, use the game menu - item Modification.

linux

Not supported

To build the demo version of the game, official demo files for Windows and official patches for the game from Croteam are used. These files are automatically downloaded and unpacked in demo build scripts.

Type this in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/tx00100xt/SeriousSamClassic-VK.git SeriousSamClassic-VK
cd SeriousSamClassic-VK
./build-linux64demo.sh        	    # use build-linux32demo.sh for 32-bits
