ShogoServer
Augmented version of the original ShogoServer from March 11th of 1999, for more information check out: https://networkdls.com/Software/View/Shogo_MAD_Server_SourceCode/
Build Instructions
This server was last built using Visual Studio 2020 on windows 11.

Screenshots
The original server source code for the 1990s game SHOGO Mad. I'm dropping this here because it was a total pain to find and even more of a pain to extract given that the publishers decided to envelope the code in an installer executable. ugh.
Also known as the "Shogo Source Tools (VERSION 2.2)" and the "SHOGO SOURCE CODE v 2.2", this version was originally published in March 11th of 1999.
Original Readme (Versions and links are out of date)
SHOGO SOURCE CODE v 2.2
You will want to get the Shogo Source Tools because it contains
a HELP file with the LithTech APIs and overview. The 2.2 version
of the Shogo source contains VC++ 6.0 project files for the two
primary Shogo DLLs as well, now.
DirectPlay
For the DirectPlay Lobby code in the Clientshell, you must have
DPLobby.h (part of the DirectX 6 SDK).
We cannot legally redistribute the SDK itself; it must be obtained
from Microsoft.
Debugging your Code
To help with debugging, the Lithtech 'SOFTDIB.REN' renderer has been
included in this package; it is in the directory you installed the source
to. Merely copy this .REN file to the same directory as your SHOGO client.exe
and it will be made available to you by the engine.
Compiling the Code
Once you have compiled your CSHELL.DLL, CRES.DLL, OBJECT.LTO, and
SRES.DLL files, you will want to put them into a new project
directory, and then stack that project directory on top of the
Shogo project as described in the README in the Tools portion of
this release.
Directories
APPHEADERS
This directory contains the headers for Lithtech.
This needs to be added to your INCLUDE file path in
your compiler.
CLIENTRES
This directory contains the source for the
cres.dll file. This is used for localization;
it's good to store text here so the main game
code doesn't have to change when localized. :)
CLIENTSHELLDLL
This directory contains the source for the
cshell.dll file. This is the client-side source;
HUDs, special effects, client-side stuff is all
written here.
MISC
This directory contains a few files taken from other
places which are needed to compile the ShogoServ
project. GameSpyMgr.lib is the library that contains
all the GameSpy functions, and it needs to be copied
into a library include path. server_interface.h is from
of the engine source code and is required for much of
ShogoServ. GameSpyMgr.h is the header for the GameSpyMgr
library.
OBJECTDLL
This directory contains the source for the
object.lto file. This is the server-side source;
it ALSO contains all the definitions of objects
that you can place in DEdit (the editor). It
should be apparent why after perusing the code
for a little bit and realizing how Lithtech works. :)
SHARED
This directory contains game-specific headers which
are shared between client and server. This should be
added to your include path.
SHOGOSERV
This is the source code to the standalone listen server.
Yes, believe it or not, we ARE releasing this. Maybe
we're insane, or maybe we just care about the mod
community. :)
