utilities.cpp starts with a byte order mark, so the compiler reads it as utf-8. The game's targets don't get /utf-8, though: set_target_properties(... COMPILE_OPTIONS ...) in the MSVC block of CMakeLists.txt replaces the options add_compile_options gave them. So the string literals went into the program in the code page of the system, windows-1250 on a polish one, and the map of win1250_to_utf8 turned each letter into itself. What read windows-1250 through it got no utf-8: the names, descriptions and categories of the sceneries and the names of the textures in the launcher, and the descriptions of the templates in the editor. The editor writes such a description back through utf8_to_win1250, which makes a question mark of each byte that doesn't start a utf-8 sequence, so the letters it had read unchanged didn't come back. The utf-8 sequences are written as bytes now, the way utf8_to_win1250 has them, so they don't depend on the options. The options stay as they are: with /utf-8 other literals of the files with a byte order mark would change, the "±" of the table of Bezogonkow would take two bytes and move the letters after it. The unit tests check the letters and that the text given is valid utf-8. Co-authored-by: maj00r <maj00r@host>

Website · Report an issue · Community Discord · MaSzyna on Steam · MaSzyna on Epic Games Store
MaSzyna executable source code is licensed under the MPL 2.0 and comes with a large pack of free assets under a custom license.
Table of Contents
Getting Started
MaSzyna compiles and runs natively on Linux and Windows. Other platforms are not tested.
Heads-up
Our dev team is small; we keep improving the build process, but issues may still occur. If you get stuck, please ask on the official Discord server.
Prerequisites
For runtime requirements see Minimum Requirements.
1) Software (oldest tested in parentheses)
Note: MinGW is currently not supported.
2) Libraries (oldest tested in parentheses)
-
GLFW 3.x (3.2.1)
If a link error occurs, pass-DGLFW3_LIBRARIES="<path>"to CMake. -
GLM (0.9.9.0)
-
libserialport (0.1.1)
-
libsndfile (1.0.28)
-
LuaJIT (2.0.5)
-
GLEW (2.1.0)
-
libpng (1.6.34)
-
OpenAL (1.18.2)
-
pthread
-
Python 3.14 (64-bit; headers and import library required for embedding)
-
Asio (1.12)
3) Graphics API
- OpenGL 3.0 or newer
- DirectX 12 via NVRHI (optional, Windows only, for Better Renderer)
CMake flags
| Flag | Meaning |
|---|---|
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug |
Debug build |
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release |
Release build |
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo |
Release build with debug symbols |
-DWITH_BETTER_RENDERER=ON/OFF |
Enable/disable NVRHI-based renderer |
-DPython3_ROOT_DIR=<path> |
Root of the Python 3.14 install on Windows (python.exe, Lib, DLLs) for embed/copy steps; on Linux, optional if CMake picks the wrong interpreter |
Linux note:
WITH_BETTER_RENDERERuses DirectX 12 through NVRHI and is not supported on Linux.
Windows
Install Python 3.14 x64 from python.org and include the optional Python native development feature (headers and .lib for embedding). Pass -DPython3_ROOT_DIR="C:\Path\To\Python314" on the cmake line when you want the layout under that directory used for embedding and for copying Lib / DLLs next to the executable.
AppVeyor CI builds with the worker image’s preinstalled Python at C:/Python314-x64 (see appveyor.yml: -DPython3_ROOT_DIR=...).

Installing
There is no make install yet. Copy the built executable to your MaSzyna installation manually.
-
Output directory:
./bin -
File name format:
eu07_YYYY-MM-DD_<commit>[_d]-
YYYY-MM-DD– build date -
<commit>– short commit hash -
_d– present in Debug builds
-
If you already have the MaSzyna assets, copy the executable to the install dir. Assets can be downloaded from eu07.pl.
Rainsted on Linux
If Rainsted (a third‑party starter) fails to detect the executable under Linux, you can create a small wrapper script named eu07.exe:
#!/bin/sh
./eu07 "$1" "$2" "$3" "$4" "$5"
If detection still fails, padding the file (with comments) up to ~1 MB may help.
Known Issues
-
GLFW linking – On some systems you must provide the GLFW library path explicitly with
-DGLFW3_LIBRARIES. -
X11/Wayland linking order – Linking order of X11 and related libs can matter.
-
NVRHI on Linux – The NVRHI/"Better Renderer" path targets DirectX 12 and is currently unsupported on Linux.
