## Installation

**NOTE**: Cracked/Pirated versions of the game are **NOT** compatible with this mod, if you run such a version and have issues/crashes when running the client read **Step 2**.

1. Download the latest **[release](https://github.com/fedddddd/h2-mod/releases/latest/download/h2-mod.exe)** or **[develop](https://master.fed0001.xyz/data-dev/h2-mod.exe)** build
2. Drop the file in your **Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered** installation folder.  
  If you don't have the game installed (or own a cracked/pirated copy of it) you can download it for free from the official **Battle.Net** servers using [Battle.Net Installer](https://github.com/barncastle/Battle.Net-Installer) and executing this command:
  
   ```
   .\bnetinstaller.exe --prod lazr --uid lazarus --lang enUS --dir "YOUR INSTALL PATH"
   ```
   
   **Make sure to replace "YOUR INSTALL PATH" with an actual installation path of your choice.**
3. Run **h2-mod.exe** and make sure you press **"YES"** when asked whether to install updates.

## Common issues

- If you get crashes that show errors like **"Create2DTexture(...) failed ..."** or **"IDXGISwapChain::Present failed: ..."** when loading certain maps try:
  * Disabling shader preloading
  * Lowering graphics settings
  * Freeing up RAM (close programs)
  * Updating your GPU drivers

## Compile from source

- Clone the Git repo. Do NOT download it as ZIP, that won't work.
- Update the submodules and run `premake5 vs2019` or simply use the delivered `generate.bat`.
- Build via solution file in `build\h2-mod.sln`.

  ### Premake arguments

  | Argument                    | Description                                    |
  |:----------------------------|:-----------------------------------------------|
  | `--copy-to=PATH`            | Optional, copy the EXE to a custom folder after build, define the path here if wanted. |
  | `--dev-build`               | Enable development builds of the client. |
