Fallout 2 — Dedicated (co-op) Server & Client — v0.1.0

Fallout 2 — Dedicated (co-op) Server & Client — v0.1.0

First release of the co-op fork of Fallout 2 Community Edition:
a dedicated server that runs the Fallout 2 engine and streams the world to remote clients, so
several players can share one persistent world — co-op combat, dialog, barter, worldmap travel
and per-player characters.

⚠️ Early/experimental, and heavily AI-assisted (under human direction & review). Expect rough
edges — see the FAQ in the README. Bug reports welcome.
NOTE 2: windows is MINGW crosscompile build, not a native MSVC

• Windows binaries are self-contained (SDL2 statically linked — no extra DLLs needed).
• Linux client needs system SDL2 (apt install libsdl2-2.0-0); the server does not.
• You must own Fallout 2 and supply your own game assets (master.dat, critter.dat,
  patch000.dat, data/). Run the binaries from your Fallout 2 game folder.
