Technical notes

Build-engine source port derived from EDuke32 and NBlood, maintained by the ZDoom team. Runs Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, Shadow Warrior, Powerslave/Exhumed, Redneck Rampage, Nam, Napalm, WWII GI through a shared Build renderer.

Engine resource (built via add_pk3): raze.pk3 ENGINERES_FILE, fatal if absent ref: source/core/version.h:66, source/core/gamecontrol.cpp:1020-1023, source/core/initfs.cpp:335-336, wadsrc/CMakeLists.txt:2

Game detection reads engine/grpinfo.txt from raze.pk3. Every file of the search directories is a candidate, whatever its name: a file is identified when its size and CRC32 equal those of a grpinfo block, or when it is an archive holding every mustcontain entry of a block that declares no CRC. A block also carries a game id, flags and optional loadgrp / loadart dependencies. ref: source/core/searchpaths.cpp:286-326, source/core/searchpaths.cpp:696-704, source/core/searchpaths.cpp:738-870, wadsrc/static/engine/grpinfo.txt:1-45

The names below are the ones the releases ship. The engine itself names DUKE3D.GRP, DUKEDC.GRP, NWINTER.GRP, VACATION.GRP, NAM.GRP, NAPALM.GRP, WW2GI.GRP, REDNECK.GRP and BLOOD.RFF, as the defaults of its -addon, -nam, -napalm, -ww2gi, -route66 and -cryptic switches. ref: source/core/gamecontrol.cpp:328-367

At least one game's GRP (or equivalent archive) must be present for Raze to run. An addon block names the CRC of its base game in dependency. grpinfo.txt also identifies the Mac demos of Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior, Duke!ZONE II, the ZOOM Platform repack of Penthouse Paradise, Alien World Order, Platoon Leader, the ProAsm build of Wanton Destruction and the SSI build of Cryptic Passage.

The directory of the first identified resource is mounted as well, so loose files beside it are read by name. Tiles come from tiles000.art to tiles199.art, from the loadart list of the block and from the -art switch; no other ART name is looked up. ref: source/core/initfs.cpp:342-372, source/core/textures/tiletexture.cpp:468-481, source/core/gamecontrol.cpp:424
