Locus Editor

How to Build

Requirements

• Windows OS
• OpenGL 4.5 supported hardware
• Visual Studio 2022
• Python 3
• .NET SDK

1. Downloading source code

• Run git clone --recursive https://github.com/kyenel64/Locus-Engine in the command prompt. Remember to include --recursive as Locus uses submodules.

2. Run Scripts/Setup.bat

• Run Scripts/Setup.bat to install premake and generate a Visual Studio solution.
• IMPORTANT: Make sure 'Shader Toolchain Debug Symbols - 64-bit' is selected if the Vulkan pop-up opens.

3. Build using Visual Studio

• Open Locus.sln
• Build solution. (Locus-Editor should be selected as the startup project).

4. Running the engine editor

• The .exe file will be generated in bin/(Config)-windows-x86_64/Locus-Editor

Sample Project

• If you would like to run the sample project, import it through the Locus Launcher by selecting the .sln file in the project directory.

Note:

• Scripts in projects must be compiled manually for now. Build the VS solution within your project directory when making changes to scripts.
