Xash3D FWGS Engine
DESCRIPTION
Xash3D FWGS is an open-source fork and extension of the original GoldSrc-based engine (from the classic era of first-person shooters), aimed at providing compatibility with the original engine (e.g. games built on it) while extending and modernizing its capabilities. The engine supports multiple rendering backends (OpenGL, GLES, software fallback), modern platforms (desktop OSes, mobile, etc.), and updated features such as better multiplayer, voice chat, IPv6 support, improved virtual filesystem, and support for modern asset formats. For modders or fans of classic games, Xash3D FWGS offers a way to play or build games using the familiar GoldSrc workflow but with updated portability and features. Legacy mods and maps for supported games can often be used unchanged (or with minimal modifications), preserving the classic experience. At the same time, the engine’s enhancements — modern input support (gamepad, touch), modern OS compatibility, cross-platform builds.
Features
- Support for multiple rendering backends: OpenGL, GLES (v1/v2), and software rendering fallback
- Cross-platform builds: supports Windows, Linux, BSD, Android (x86 & ARM), and potentially more
- Enhanced multiplayer support: multiple master servers, headless dedicated server, voice chat, IPv6 support
- Advanced virtual filesystem supporting .pk3 and .pk3dir, compatibility with original engine filesystem conventions, and cross-platform case-insensitive filesystem emulation
- Compatibility with legacy game assets (maps, mods) built for the original engine, allowing old games to run on modern platforms with updated engine features
- Support for modern input methods beyond just keyboard/mouse — including gamepad and touch — enabling mobile or console-style controls
