How to use

First you probably want to stop running your Red Eclipse using redeclipse.sh/redeclipse.bat/redeclipse_server.sh/redeclipse_server.bat scripts. They download new files which is likely to break patched Red Eclipse. Learn to use git for updates instead. And use binaries bin folder of Red Eclipse to run the game.

All patches were created for the stable branch of Red Eclipse repository. For each patch there's specified latest commit hash with which it is known to work.

You can apply a patch using following commands

$ git clone https://github.com/zaquest/repatches path/to/repatches
$ cd path/to/redeclipse/source
$ patch -p1 < path/to/repatches/wanted.patch
$ make -C src install

If you have patched Red Eclipse and want to update your game the following should work most of the time. However, you better learn what you're doing before running these commands. Also make sure all your patches work with the latest stable branch before updating in this manner.

$ git stash
$ git pull
$ git submodule update
$ git stash pop
$ make -C src install

Patches

Fix third person crosshair for zoom / fix_3p_zoom.patch

Crosshair's default behavior in third person in Red Eclipse 1.5 is to move cursor appropriately when zooming and getting too close to surfaces. However the former might be annoying and the later is still broken. It is necessary to move crosshair because Red Eclipse switches from third to first person for zooming. Cursor's behavior is controlled with thirdpersoncursor variable. This patch disables default behavior (sets thirdpersoncursor 0 by default) and introduces new variable thirdpersonzoom. The variable works only when thirdpersoncursor is 0 and when set it prevents Red Eclipse from switching to first person for zooming from third person.
