sourceModBuilder

A build system for source mods, that compiles the engine, installs your mod, and much more!
the main build system script is in buildsys/buildsys_init.sh

Getting started

do the following

• install msys64, you probally dont want to add it to path, as it may screw your current python install over.
• get vs2022 with the c++ desktop workload.
• get Source Sdk Base 2013 Singleplayer (upcoming) from steam
• clone this repo, and copy build.bat and buildsys the folder that your mod will be in (dont put it in sourcemods, do something like desktop, you know what i mean.
• open up the folder with the build system, and edit buildsys/config.sh to your settings (REQUIRED, THIS HAS IMPORTANT STUFF).
• then:
  

     run: build.bat
     if your using powershell: .\build.bat

• let it take its time (the engine compiles in a little under a minute for a 16 core cpu and 32 gbs of ram (i snagged one from a buisness for $250))
  NOTE: if you dont have the engine in the configured directory, it will download it for you.
  
• Run the script again, and it should not yap at you about gameinfo.txt, just edit the one in gameroot.
• restart steam, and you should see your mod there

wtf are these directories?

to make it easier, you can crate a maps, scripts, and game config folder in the root of your project.

game config files is copied to the root of the sourcemod

map files is copied to the map folder of the source mod.

script files are copied to the scripts folder of the source mod.

JUST USE THE FOLDER IN GAMEROOT, ITS LIKE A SOURCEMOD DIRECTORY, GAMEROOT/* IS COPIED TO THE ROOT OF THE SOURCEMOD!

GAMEROOT WILL NOT HAVE BINAIRES, DO NOT TRY TO RUN IT THERE.

in bin/(ur game)testing/ there will be a full folder containg the output, you will need to use the -game param with the created exec tho.
