- Put batch script https://github.com/Vityacv/fearservmod/blob/master/TinyServerBuilder.cmd to writable folder with enough disk space
- Add to folder with a script ArchiveEdit.exe, MFC71u.dll, msvcp71.dll, msvcr71.dll
- Run script and specify game folder (right click to paste path)
- Wait till script completes and find new server builds in FEARServer or FEARServerXP folders
Also, tiny coop mode server is supported, in the script replaces the filter "Release" "ReleaseXP2" to "ReleaseMultiplayer" "MultiplayerXP2" and two "Default.archcfg" to "CoopMode.archcfg"
To build combined server with singleplayer and multiplayer maps - remove the filter "*.Objects00p" "Release" "ReleaseXP2" and for multiplayer maps use copy of "CoopMode.archcfg" as "Default.archcfg"
To launch FEARMP.exe you will need to instruct wine to load winmm.dll from game folder first and then load system winmm.dll using environment variable:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winmm.dll=n,b" wine FEARMP.exe
Same variable is needed to run FEARServer.exe, but you also can disable load of gecko engine and .net
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winmm.dll=n,b;mscoree.dll,mshtml.dll=" wine FEARServer.exe
Requirements: linux distribution (I use Arch Linux), mingw-w64, nasm
