Building

You need CMake, Ninja, clang, lld-link in your PATH. The remaining dependencies (shader_minifier, crinkler, glslangValidator, nasm, glext, khrplatform, go) can be in your system PATH, but will be downloaded automatically if they're not present. MSVC build tools or Visual Studio (specifically the Windows 10 SDK) need to be installed, but don't need to be in the system PATH if you chose default install locations.

Before building, update the git submodules: git submodule update --init --recursive.

Next, create an out-of-source build directory: mkdir build

Configure using cmake .. -G"Ninja" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=ontrack-4k -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../toolchain/lld.cmake

and build with ninja.

Build a release archive using ninja install.

If you want to build the actual release archive like it's on scene.org, which may take a very long time, depending on your hardware, delete CMakeCache.txt and configure using the Crinkler toolchain: rm CMakeCache.txt && cmake .. -G"Ninja" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=ontrack-4k -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../toolchain/crinkler.cmake.

Then use the above commands to build and install. The release archive will be available in the install-prefix ontrack-4k.

Rendering a Video

Rendering a video requires Python to be installed and in the system PATH. Also it should have poetry installed.

The video target can be built using ninja video. It will run quite some time and the video will be available in the video subfolder.

Credits

I'm back to writing intros. This time, I wrote music, graphics and code all by myself. Enjoy.

Greetings go out to LJ, copernicium, epoqe, slay bells, Alcatraz, Farbrausch, AttentionWhore, TRBL, Mercury, BitbendaZ, K2 and Team210.

Fuckings to the thieves ripping quality stuff and reusing in their own petty commercial productions without credit, dogshit coders polluting code bases with bugged and/or unmaintainable source, wannabes failing to create but still broadcasting their opinion on my channels.

I can not die.
