|
|
CorsixTH aims to reimplement the game engine of Theme Hospital, and be able to
|
|
load the original game data files. This means that you will need a purchased
|
|
copy of Theme Hospital, or a copy of the demo, in order to use CorsixTH. After
|
|
most of the original engine has been reimplemented in open source code, the
|
|
project will serve as a base from which extensions and improvements to the
|
|
original game can be made.

|
|
-- Getting started
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
See https://github.com/CorsixTH/CorsixTH/wiki/Getting-Started for full details.
|
|
Briefly:
|
|
1) Ensure that you are using a supported platform (Windows, macOS, Linux or BSD)
|
|
2) Ensure that you have either the demo of Theme Hospital or the original
|
|
game CD/files.
|
|
The demo can be found at: http://th.corsix.org/Demo.zip and the full game
|
|
can be found at https://www.gog.com/game/theme_hospital.
|
|
The full game can also often be found on eBay.
|
|
3) Copy the resources folder (which contains the folders "ANIMS" and "LEVELS"
|
|
among others, this is in some cases called "HOSP") from either the demo
|
|
or full game to a directory of your choice.
|
|
4a) If you have downloaded a pre-compiled version:
|
|
At this point Windows users should run the installer. During install you
|
|
will be asked for the location of the original game files set in step 3.
|
|
Linux and OS X users simply run the game and set the location of the
|
|
original game files when requested.
|
|
4b) If you have a source code distribution, compile it.
|
|
See https://github.com/CorsixTH/CorsixTH/wiki/How-To-Compile for details.
|
|
Start the game for the first time. You will be asked for the location of
|
|
the Theme Hospital data files. Select the directory you chose in step 3.
|
|
5) Go play! If this doesn't go smoothly, then consult:
