Current Features

Kero is mostly a BSP renderer for now. It features BSP rendering, with Static Prop support, as well as VisData visibility culling. BSP geometry lightmaps are also supported, as well as skybox rendering. Build Kero, run it by pointing it to a Source Engine game installation, and it should just work!

Building

To build the project on Windows, Mac OS or Linux, all you need to do is run (assuming you have Go 1.12 or later installed) in the directory samples/demo: go build .

The demo targets Counterstrike: Source entities. To target a different game, you will need to update samples/demo/gameDef.go.

Running

First, you will need to have a source engine game installed, unless you are loading a map that has all its content bspzipped.

• Run the built executable with this flag: -game="<GameDir>/<ContentDir>", where <GameDir> is the root directory of the game, and <ContentDir> is the sub-folder where the game content is located (e.g. cstrike, hl2, csgo etc). For example, a default Counterstrike: Source installation would be specified like this: -game="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\common\Counterstrike Source\cstrike"
