Building

Prerequisites

• Python >= 3.7
• GTA2_ROOT Environment variable pointing to your GTA2 installation
• Wine (For Linux/Mac)

Clone the repository with the --recursive flag:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/CriminalRETeam/gta2_re.git

Windows

pip install -r requirements.txt
python vc6_setup.py
python build.py

Linux

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 vc6_setup.py
python3 build.py

Optionally, you can automatically run the built exe by passing one of the following arguments to build.py:

• --run_standalone
• --run_patched

Important

To use --run_patched, you need to generate the patched exe yourself by running ExePatcher.exe within the build_vc6 folder. The patcher expects the original GTA2 exe (called 10.5.exe) to be inside the same directory.
