A standalone version is in development. Although it's working already, it needs further clean up and testing.
This means that you need an IDE, like Visual Studio or Rider, to build and run it. This is free and not as difficult as it might sound.
- We only test on Win10. But Win11 might work too.
- If you don't have a .net IDE installed already download and install the Community Edition of Visual Studio v16.11 (or later).
In the installer make sure to select the features...
- .net Desktop Application development
- .net 4.7.1 (on the right side)
- Install .net 5.0 SDK
- You might also want to download and install a git client like https://git-fork.com/ . Alternatively, you can install the bare bone git scm.
- On Windows 10, you also need to install Windows Graphics tools
Ideally, it would be better to sign-up. It's free and only takes a minute or so. This will allow you share your changes with the community. If not, do the following:
- Make sure that you have git scm installed (see above)
- Right file explorer right click on the folder you want T3 to install in and select Open git bash here
- Clone:
git clone [email protected]:still-scene/t3.git
Note: As of 2021-11-05 we no longer use submodules, so you don't have to care about setting up those.
-
If you have a git account, we recommend using ssh. Make sure you have an ssh-key installed correctly. Github has excellent documentation on that topic.
-
With Fork you just clone the repository.
-
If you're using the command line
git clone [email protected]:still-scene/t3.git
- Start
Install/install.bat
To initialize some dependencies and the default view layouts. If you cleaned your solution with visual studio, you might need to run the install.bat script again.
- Open
t3.sln
- In the Solution Explorer right click on T3 to open the Properties panel. Under the section Debug, change the Working directory for all build modes to
..
. This is important, because the Resources folder needs to be on the same logical level as the starting directory. If this is not match you will experience errors like "t3.ico" not found. - Start the project in Debug or Release mode
