Astonia 3 Windows Client

Astonia Client

This file is part of Astonia Client (c) Daniel Brockhaus. Please read license.txt.

This is the new and shiny Astonia 3 client.

Windows Executable

You can find a ready-to-run client that works with a vanilla server under releases: https://github.com/DanielBrockhaus/astonia_client/releases

Build from Source

If you wish to build your own, install https://www.msys2.org/

Make sure that "c:\msys64\mingw64\bin" and "C:\msys64\usr\bin" (if you installed into the default directory) end up in your Windows PATH.

Open a shell (CMD.EXE or Powershell) and run

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2 mingw-w64-x86_64-libpng
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2_mixer mingw-w64-x86_64-libzip make zip
pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-dwarfstack

to install the 64 bit GCC compiler toolchain, a bunch of libraries, make and zip.

Also install git lfs (large file system) as described here: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-large-files/installing-git-large-file-storage

Clone or download the sources from Github to the current directory.

And run

make

to compile.

Errors

If pacman, make or gcc are not found something with your MSYS2 installation went wrong. The same goes for missing headers during compile or missing libraries during linking. And even missing DLLs when running the client point to an incomplete MSYS2 installation.

Make Distribution

make distrib

Will copy all neccessary DLLs to the build directory and create a zip archive with the executables and graphics.

Make A Mod

make amod

To compile your mod (located in src/amod/). More information about modding the client is on my website: https://brockhaus.org/modding.html
