The goal of this branch is to be able to create our own dlls that are compatible with gmod.
There is also the gmod-improvements branch, which will contain bug fixes or improvements.

NOTE

I just rebased this entire branch to have the 64x stuff :D
So stuff might be broken.

List of dlls that are worked on:

• vstdlist.dll (Everything was reverted.)
• studiorender.dll (Only works with studio_queue_mode, BUG: pCallQueue->QueueCall causes a crash! QUEUE_STUDIORENDER_CALL)
• filesystem_stdio.dll (Something broke and idk what) Progress:
• Update Steamworks
• Implementing basic Gmod functions
• Implement Language System
• Implement Gamemode System
• Implement GameDepot System
• Implement Addon System
• • Implement GetSubscriptions
• • Implement cfg/addonnomount.txt (BUG: Crashes when Saved)
• • Implement Addon Mounting
• • Implement Addon Download

List of currently (probably)working dlls:

• datacache.dll
• icudt.dll (IDK what it even does xd)
• icudt42.dll (IDK what it even does xd)
• shaderapidx9.dll (Needs more testing but seems to work.)
• unicode.dll
• vvis_dll.dll (~40% faster than Gmod's version. Compile it in Release for the Performance benefit)
• vvis.exe
• vrad.exe

List of currently verified working dlls:

• vphysics.dll (Also, fixes ShouldCollide breaking the physics engine)

Prerequisites

• CMake. Can be C++ CMake Tools component of Visual Studio.
• [windows] Visual Studio 2022 with v143+ platform toolset.
• Use git clone --recurse-submodules
• Run create_<GAME_NAME>_dev_<ARCH>.bat from Developer Command Prompt (Use x64 version for x64 CPU arch). See directory tree for supported games.
• Open <GAME_NAME>_<ARCH>.sln.
• Build.

Build info

• all build files are placed into a game folder that will be in the same root directory in which you saved this repository.
  

• You need to copy all HL2 files into the game folder as a base.

• You also need to copy the files from the __dependencies folder into the game/bin folder.

• Run the patch_game_content_readme.bat from the __content folder to let it link all files properly.

• Build the project now and do whatever you want

How to debug

• Ensure you placed hl2 / episodic / portal game into game folder near cloned repo.
• Open <GAME_NAME>_<ARCH>.sln.
• Set launcher_main project Command property to $(SolutionDir)..\game\hl2.exe.
• Set launcher_main project Command Arguments property to -dxlevel 85 -windowed.
• Set launcher_main project Working Directory property to $(SolutionDir)..\game\.
• Use Set as Startup Project menu for launcher_main project.
• Start debugging.

How to release

• Ensure you placed hl2 / episodic / portal game into game folder near cloned repo.
• Open <GAME_NAME>_<ARCH>.sln.
