[!IMPORTANT]
After downloading or cloning this repository make sure you install the UQM-MegaMod-Content first before trying to run the compiled binary
UQM-MegaMod Content
This process assumes you've downloaded or cloned this repository already. Download or clone the [UQM-MegaMod-Content](https://github.com/JHGuitarFreak/UQM-MegaMod-Content/) repository and copy *all* the files within the content repository into the `UQM-MegaMod/content` folder of your downloaded or cloned UQM-MegaMod repository. It should look like this: Windows 10+
#### Visual Studio I've made this process super easy, as long as you have Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2015-2022. For Visual Studio 2008 the solution file is under `UQM-MegaMod/build/msvs2008` for Visual Studio 2015-2022 the solution file is under `build/msvs2019` Just load up the solution file and compile away. Once the build is complete you'll either have a `UrQuanMasters.exe` or `UrQuanMastersDebug.exe` in the root directory that you can run directly. If you get a message about missing .dll files they can be found in the `UQM-MegaMod/dev-lib/lib` directory. Copy them to the root UQM-MegaMod directory. The .dll are as follows: libpng16.dll ogg.dll OpenAL32.dll SDL2.dll vorbis.dll vorbisfile.dll wrap_oal.dll zlib1.dll #### MSYS2 Make sure you've installed all the necessary packages by executing these two commands in the MSYS2 bash: pacman -Syuu then pacman -S make pkg-config mingw-w64-i686-gcc mingw-w64-i686-libogg \ mingw-w64-i686-libpng mingw-w64-i686-libsystre \ mingw-w64-i686-libvorbis mingw-w64-i686-SDL2 mingw-w64-i686-zlib Start a MSYS2 MinGW 32-bit bash, `cd` to the UQM-MegaMod directory, then execute this command: ./build.sh uqm -j When executing this command for the first time you'll come to a configuration screen where you can select a few developer-centric options. Just hit enter and UQM will start building. It'll take awhile and you'll see a few scary warnings but everything should build fine. Once the build is complete you'll either have a `UrQuanMasters.exe` or `UrQuanMastersDebug.exe` in the root directory that you can run directly. If you get a message about missing .dll files they can be copied to the root directory via running the `msys2-depend.sh` bash script like so: ./msys2-depend.sh Note though that this script does not work for Visual Studio compiled binaries.Linux
On Debian based distros it's fairly simple, just install the following packages: sudo apt-get install build-essential libogg-dev libpng-dev \ libsdl2-dev libvorbis-dev libz-dev Then when those have finished installing you can either clone the repository or download the source tarball and extract it wherever you like, taking note of where it is. `cd` to the UQM-MegaMod directory, then execute this command: ./build.sh uqm -j When executing this command for the first time you'll come to a configuration screen where you can select a few developer-centric options. Just hit enter and UQM will start building. It'll take awhile and you'll see a few scary warnings but everything should build fine. Once the build is complete you'll either have a `UrQuanMasters` or `UrQuanMastersDebug` binary in the root directory that you can run directly.macOS
Install Xcode from the App Store, and then when you run it the first time make sure to install "Additional components". You can then install brew from https://brew.sh and then use it to install your requirements from the Terminal: brew install libogg libpng libvorbis sdl2 Then when those have finished installing you can either clone the MegaMod repository or download the source tarball and extract it wherever you like, taking note of where it is. `cd` to the UQM-MegaMod directory, then execute this command: ./build.sh uqm -j When executing this command for the first time you'll come to a configuration screen where you can select a few developer-centric options. Just hit enter and UQM will start building. It'll take awhile and you'll see a few scary warnings but everything should build fine. Once the build is complete you'll either have a `UrQuanMasters` or `UrQuanMastersDebug` binary in the root directory that you can run directly.[!WARNING]
Controllers
When using a DualShock 4 controller DO NOT use DS4Windows. UQM and hence, MegaMod, support the DS4 without extra software. The new controller layout options only work properly if you don't use DS4Windows.
[!CAUTION]
Mod Compatibility
MegaMod is not compatible with any other mods nor are they compatible with MegaMod. MegaMod is completely independant from Core UQM, HD-Mod, HD-Remix, Crazy Mod, Balance Mod, Extended, or any other mods. As such MegaMod has its own packages and add-ons.
For example the HD-Mod add-on package
hires4x.zipis not compatible with MegaMod as MegaMod has its own HD package currently namedmm-0.8.3-hd-content.uqm.And as MegaMod is not compatible with any other mods, do not install it over any existing UQM installations.
All MegaMod compatible add-ons and content can be found on the main website's Download page: https://uqm-mods.sourceforge.net/Download
