Client Installation

Quick Installation

To install the ColdCase client, follow these steps:

  1. Download the latest release:

    • Visit ColdCase Releases.

    • Download the ColdCase-1.x.x.zip file (replace 1.x.x with the latest version).

  2. Extract the archive:

    • Choose a suitable directory and extract the contents of the .zip file.

  3. Run the game:

    • Execute the JAR file to start the game:

      java -jar Cold\ Case-*.jar

Building the Client Manually

If you prefer to build the game from source, follow these steps:

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/under-the-oaks/ColdCase-Client.git
  2. (only on Linux) Make Gradle wrapper executable:

    chmod +x ./gradlew
  3. Build the release version:

    ./gradlew release

    This will generate a .zip file containing the built game that can be found under lwjgl3/build/release/

  4. Install the built version:

    • Extract the generated .zip file in a suitable directory.

    • Run the game using the JAR file as described in the quick installation.
