Return to Castle Wolfenstein 1.1b and Single-Player Demo
January 18th, 2002 by CrusaderVersion 1.1b of Return to Castle Wolfenstein has been released by id Software’s Timothee “TTimo” Besset.
Changes:
- General stuff:
- made the installers and binaries more BSD friendly
- Alt+Enter shortcut toggles between windowed and fullscreen
- Single Player:
- initial public release
- Multiplayer:
- fixed a giant memory leak
As noted in the changelog, this release includes binaries for the single-player game, so you can take on Himmler’s occult war machine under Linux now :).
Moreover, a demo for the single-player game is now available. TTimo also states that when the Macintosh version is released, it will have a Linux-friendly file tree (as of right now you need to utilize Wine to install RTCW from the Win32 CD). The Linux installer will then likely be updated to support installation from the Mac CD for users without Wine.

I’m in progress of mirroring this at my site. Currently the binaries are mirrored (demo in progress). URL:

I’ll get the question out of the way – when will tuxgames be packaging this with RTCW? Is it too “beta-ish” at the moment?

See the topic.

Any plan for a native Linux CD ?
I won’t buy a Win32 CD and there is much less chances I get a Mac one !

I sent some feedback yesterday asking when the SP version was going to be ready, and this is how they respond. Sweet!
Extra kudos for fixing the gaping memory leak which thrashed my machine to hell.
JAWOHL!!

ROCK!

I’ve ben waiting for this ever since the Windows version was released! Thank you TTimo, you’re my hero :)

Is anyone else having problems with the single player binary? Multi-player works perfectly but SP shuts down as soon as I try click on the difficulty level.
I don’t see any errors in the log, infact it the last two lines are this:
Sys_LoadDll(qagame) succeeded!
Shutdown tty console

anyone else setup any other mirrors for the file?

My order is going in next week. Tuxgames- Rock the Fuck On.

Has a anybody been able to use savegames created by the Windows version? I have copied the files to .wolf/main/save and they appear in the list, but when i try to load a game, i get an error about insufficent disk space [... no, i do have enough free disk space ;-) ]

Good game!
November 30th, -0001 at 12:00 am
Worked first time!
Hooray for TTimo ….
Linux gaming takes another step forward.

When I load wolf I just get a black screen, just after the libgl inits (doesn’t hang comp). Didn’t happen on the mp binaries (they worked perfect)..The only difference is that this time I simlinked the pak files instead of copying them for space reasons. Would this cause it to die? can’t think it would.

is anyone else expierencing tons of crashes while in the menus? When i first turn it on, i must move very quickly and start a game before it crashes. Once i’m in the game its perfect, so its just the menus. This occurs both for wolfspdemo and wolfmpdemo. Any ideas?
btw, i play in blackbox, so that gnome solution listed above wont help me.

The single player game is even better I expected. Very impressive work, thanks TTimo.
November 30th, -0001 at 12:00 am
I hope that tuxgames test this “a lot” before shipping. seems to me that it have been quite much problems with this game so far .. for a lot of people.
November 30th, -0001 at 12:00 am
Single player works fine for me but when in multiplayer after i connect and level finishes loading it crashes there. I can’t do anything to get out and have to hard reboot the system. Has anyone experienced this problem and figured out a fix for this? I am runing Mandrake 8.1 gamer edition in kde.
oh and btw I tried running in WineX and it crashes in same place in multiplayer under WineX which makes me think it is some sort of network setting. Anyone have any clues?

I also get this while starting the single player mode:
Received signal 11, exiting…

I’ve tried the suggested commands, that all targeted the sound system but there was no change on the problem at all.
What Kernel do the guys use where the game starts?
Maybe the problems got solved using the 2.6 Kernel… who knows…
