## Usage requirements
|
|
|
|
This package is essential only for **Windows** platform, and it is installed by default by g2o installer. \
|
|
In order to use the module, the user have to install: \
|
|
[Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x86)](https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe)
|
|
|
|
## Installing module
|
|
|
|
**_NOTE:_** Client modules aren't downloaded by default by g2o server.
|
|
You have to put them manually into: `Game/Multiplayer/Modules` directory.
|
|
|
|
In order to install the module you can either [download the prebuilt binary](../../releases) from releases, or [build the module yourself](#build-instructions).
|
|
Be sure to install the module with matching CPU architecture for your server app.
|
|
|
|
## Loading module
|
|
|
|
To load the module, you have to put `<module>` tag into .xml server configuration.
|
|
Below you can find more info about this tag **attributes**.
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<!--The path to the module relative to .xml file-->
|
|
<!--Client-side module must be placed in the exact game path from which it is loaded on the server, e.g: -->
|
|
<!--Loading module on s-side: server/MyServerName/sqmodule.dll-->
|
|
<!--Will cause the module to be searched in: game/Multiplayer/Modules/MyServerName/sqmodule.dll-->
|
|
<!--[required]--> src="path/to/the/module"
|
|
|
|
<!--[required]--> type="client"|"server"
|
|
|
|
<!--By default module will be loaded without checksum validation-->
|
|
<!--useful when you want to load only specific version of the module-->
|
|
<!--[optional]--> md5="1a79a4d60de6718e8e5b326e338ae533"
|
|
|
|
<!--By default every module is required, you can override this by setting required to false-->
|
|
<!--Useful for creating optional modules-->
|
|
<!--[optional]--> required=true|false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example of loading client module:
|
|
```xml
|
|
<module src="sqmodule.x86.dll" type="client" />
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example of loading server module:
|
|
```xml
|
|
<module src="sqmodule.x86.dll" type="server" />
|
|
```

You can set these options, by either manually editing the file, or by using cmake-gui.
|
|
|
|
- **GAME_PATH** this cache option allows you to setup the destination
|
|

|
|
|

generate an installation step. by default it's set to ``""`` (disabled).
|
|
|
|
- **INSTALL_AFTER_BUILD** this cache option allows you to run
|
|
