This is step by step instructions on how to install RTCW for the extreme newbie. (like new to linux by a few days)
I know there are a few other methods/alternetives but you are not the one writing this tutorial, I am :)
Requirments
1. You must have openGL installed and working first. See your cards homepage for drivers and instructions. If you do not have drivers installed/working then do not even try this as it will lock up your computer hard.
2. You must own a windows copy of the game. The reason is Activision released the binaries for us wolf fans to play on our beloved O/S but they still want you to purchase the game.
Really purchase a new one if you plan on playing MP. You will need a valid CD key for this.
The $ symbol in this tutorial is not meant to be entered. It means to enter the following command into the x terminal
Go here (http://www.3dgamers.com/games/returnwolfenstein/ ) and download
wolf-linux-1.4-full.x86.run
and
wolf-linux-update-1.41.x86.run
put them in a directory of your choice (example /usr/junk)
Or make a directory mkdir -p /usr/junk.
I always recommend a /usr/junk folder for all downloaded "junk". This keeps things organized and tidy:)
Working as root in an x terminal $cd /usr/junk
$ls -a
You should see the 2 files
then
$chmod a+x wolf-linux-1.4-full.x86.run
$chmod a+x wolf-linux-update-1.41.x86.run
$./wolf-linux-1.4-full.x86.run
Agree to all license and install to default path.
Once completed it will ask you to start wolf now?
Choose no
cd /usr/junk
$./wolf-linux-update-1.41.x86.run
patch will then install to default directory.
Now mount your windows wolf directory in whatever way you prefer, (I have my files from windows wolf burned to a CD) navigate to the main folder in RTCW and copy these files
mp pako.pk3
mp pak1.pk3
mp pak2 pk3
pk0.pk3
sp pak1.pk3
sp pak2 pk3
These are to go into your /usr/local/games/wolfenstein/main directory under linux.
Now you can either start wolf by $wolfmp in the X terminal
or there will (should) be a directory in extras/games/wolfenstein in your start menu.
If your game runs briefly and then freezes you have driver/openGL issues that must be resolved first.
If you need led by the hand on installing Nvidia or ATI drivers email me illegaloperation@ll.net and I will send you a tutorial on this as well.
