Getting Started

me3 is a launcher and mod loader for the Dark Souls series of games from FROMSOFTWARE and similar titles.

Prerequisites

• Cargo
  • Windows: download and run [rustup‑init.exe][rustup-installer] then follow the onscreen instructions.
  • Linux:

    curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
    

• Visual Studio C++ Build Tools
  • Windows: download and run vs_BuildTools.exe then follow the onscreen instructions.
  • Linux: while me3 can be built against mingw64, this generally isn't recommended. Instead acquire the Windows SDK using xwin

    cargo install xwin && xwin --accept-license splat --output ~/.xwin
    

    And configure Cargo to link with LLD and use the binaries from xwin in ~/.cargo/config.toml

    [target.x86_64-pc-windows-msvc]
    linker = "lld"
    runner = "wine"
    rustflags = [
    "-Lnative=/home/gtierney/.xwin/crt/lib/x86_64",
    "-Lnative=/home/gtierney/.xwin/sdk/lib/um/x86_64",
    "-Lnative=/home/gtierney/.xwin/sdk/lib/ucrt/x86_64"
    ]
    

Usage

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/garyttierney/me3.git
   

2. Build the binaries

   cargo build [--release]
   

3. Attach the sample host DLL to your game

   TODO: fix these instructions.
