About IO Return to Castle Wolfenstein
World War II rages and nations fall. SS head Himmler has Hitler's full backing
to twist science and the occult into an army capable of annihilating the Allies
once and for all. Battling alone, you're on an intense mission to pierce the black
heart of the Third Reich and stop Himmler -- or die trying.
The intent of this project is to provide a baseline RTCW which may be used for
further development and fun. The map editor and associated compiling tools are not
included. We suggest you use a modern copy of GtkRadiant. Some of the major
features currently implemented are:
SDL backend
OpenAL sound API support (multiple speaker support and better sound quality)
Full x86_64 support
AVI video capture of demos
Much improved console autocompletion & Persistent console history
Colorized terminal output
Much improved QVM tools
Many, many bug fixes
Commercial data files are required to run the supported games. These can be aquired though
a multitude of sources. See the manual for more info on this.
