librw VS Epic-Asset-Manager

This is one gem from the project, a partial reimplementation of RenderWare: https://github.com/aap/librw

Found this.. don't know how complete of a reimplementation it is... https://github.com/aap/librw

For the RenderWare part, librw (RE GTA3/VC/LCS) can be used.

librw uses it too. It is a almost full re-implementation of the RenderWare engine, used to port GTA 3, GTA Vice City, and GTA Liberty City Stories to Linux, Android, FreeBSD, Mac, PlayStation 2, Nintendo Switch, and Windows. But, of course, Take2 (Rockstar Games' publisher) did not like it being better than their crappy remaster and shut down the project with a lawsuit.

Well, the main Git for all the open-source ports, librw, got taken down, and then brought back a couple of weeks ago.

The problem there is that the physics engine called Renderware is from Criterion Games and despite being kinda old is still being used and hence cannot be made open source (maybe because of EA). So, to mitigate that problem the devs before making re3 and reVC they make librw as an open source re-implementation of Renderware which is the base of all of this

I use the wonderful Epic Asset manager, available from Flathub

Also available through Epic Asset Manager. Required a slight fix, but is ok now. Not sure what to do with the bridge plugin though..

-There’s a flatpak called Epic Asset Manager (is also on AUR), there you can install the engine itself, you can download assets or even games from EGS (although for games I prefer heroic launcher)

The recommended way of getting Epic Asset Manager is through flathub so if you want to give it a go, try that route.

Epic Asset Manager is working to use official prebuilt binary instead of using Docker image/UE source code (#201) so I hope that remove the require to link Epic account with GitHub account.

Are you referring to this Epic Asset Manager?

My hope is that the community maintained asset manager gets more popular, since this kind of thing shouldn't be that hard to add.

That's all for now. I didn't test how unity works because I have no experince with Unity but hopefully this guide is helpful. Also I will write a guide soon about how to install Unreal engine without compiling from source using containers. Spoiler alert: by using Epic Asset Manager [EAM](https://github.com/AchetaGames/Epic-Asset-Manager) which is far more simpler

You can use https://github.com/AchetaGames/Epic-Asset-Manager for assets and you can try installing engine that way (not sure how well it works, i compile UE from source)
