In case someone needs it, I had to search and dig around for quite a while to come up with this solution.
ESPAsyncWebserver is pretty good documented in my opinion. The documentation of the fork from github user mathieucarbou I use for my CanGrow project gets even more into detail.
I had a problem with corrupted responses when the webserver had to send a very big html file processed with some templates in it. So I thought it might help to use chunked responses.
Update: I think I understood the problem and what chunking is and does not correct.
So my problem with corrupted pages when using the template processor persists even when using chunked response.

When thinking about my new CanGrow project, which things I want to have data and want to measure, I thought having a water level indicator, for a water tank for example, would be a good idea.
Most things I found were about the premade Waterlevel module, which can be found on ebay, amazon and quite every maker shop.
The downside of this module is, that it has a limited length. And I dont want to hack around a module, as my goal for the CanGrow project is, to be very simple.
So I did some further research and thought about those very simple water level indication schematics, which just use a transistor, resistor , led and power source, which brought me also to this arduino projecthub article, which describes how to build such a water level indicator with only a few resistors.
When looking at the schematics, it reminded my heavily to a voltage devicer circuit. So I ignored the “virtual Wheatstone bridge” stuff described in the article and played around a bit and found the solution for my projects problem.
I came up with this schematic:

For about a year I haven’t updated my ReactOS server, so it was time to update everything and the new year was a good moment for that.
Installing and stuff was pretty easy, I don’t want to go into much detail about that, as it is mostly unzipping stuff and copy them somewhere. Maybe I go in a future post into detail, how this setup is built up.
Today I want to focus on the way to get an working win32 binary of Xash3D-NG, an fork of Xash3D maintained by a user called tyabus which represents the version 0.19.4 of Xash3D. This particular version is quite popular, even when a much more active developed fork, named Xash3D-FWGS (version 0.20), exists.
Reason for its popularity is, that still many of the Xash3D android apps are based on the old version, so there is a quite large user base.
Unfortunately tyabus do not offer (any more?) binaries for his fork.
Update: There is a build pipeline for the Windows client binaries but no for the server ones, Github comment
I will upload my builds to http://hl.la10cy.net/downloads/ when there is a new one
So I have to compile them myself which is not such a big deal for me when it comes to compiling stuff for linux, but cross-compiling windows binaries on linux is something i am really not used to.
A year ago I already had this challange and I only remembered that it was not pretty easy for me. Compiling this time the latest master branch was a much dirtier game in comparison what I remembered from the last time and I forgot most of the things. So I want to write them down for the case I need these steps again or someone other can find some useful information from there, so I also will write about the way to the solution with all errors I came across.
