ET: Legacy is based on the raedwulf-et project which in turn is based on the GPL'd source code of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.

Its main goals are fixing bugs, cleaning up the codebase and adding useful features while remaining compatible with the ET 2.60b version.

For more information consult our changelog.

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is a free release, and can be downloaded from Splash Damage.

This source release contains only the engine and mod code but not any game data, which is still covered by the original EULA and must be obeyed as usual.

In order to run ET:Legacy you wil need to copy the original assets files (pak0.pk3, pak1.pk3 and pak2.pk3) to the etmain folder.

Please remember that only if you compile ET:Legacy on a 32 bits system or crosscompile it for 32 bits architecture on a 64 bits system will you be able to play on 2.60b servers.

In case you are a running a 64 bits system, you probably might want to use the bundled libraries which are located in a separate etlegacy-libs repository and can be automatically downloaded using the git submodule command. See the next section for more details.

• CMake (compile-time only)
• OpenGL
• GLEW version 1.10
• SDL version 2.0.3
• libjpeg-turbo version 1.3, or libjpeg version 8
• libcurl (optional, enabled by default)
• Lua version 5.2 (optional, enabled by default)
• Ogg Vorbis (optional, enabled by default)
• Freetype version 2 (optional)
• OpenAL (optional)
• Jansson (optional)

To get the latest source code install git and clone our repository hosted at Github.com:

$ git clone git://github.com/etlegacy/etlegacy.git

If the required dependencies are not installed on your system run:

$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update

This downloads the essential dependencies into the libs/directory. You can choose whether to use bundled libraries instead of the system ones by changing the BUNDLED_LIBS variable in the CMakeList.txt configuration file. You can then select which bundled libraries to use by toggling the respective BUNDLED_XXX variable.

To install the binaries system-wide, you need to compile ET:Legacy with hardcoded fs_basepath.

The following variables can be adjusted in CMake:

• INSTALL_DEFAULT_BASEDIR: sets default fs_basepath, i.e. where etl and etlded executables look for data files. In most cases it is CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX+INSTALL_DEFAULT_MODDIR. Defaults to empty value, because we want fs_basepath to be the current working directory when not installing the game system-wide.
• (optional) INSTALL_DEFAULT_BINDIR: Location for executables. Appended to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. Defaults to "bin".
• (optional) INSTALL_DEFAULT_MODDIR: Location for libraries and paks. Appended to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. Defaults to "share/etlegacy" and then "legacy" is appended to it.

• option A: command line

In terminal, run:

$ mkdir build && cd build && cmake-gui ..

To compile, run:

$ make

If you wish to install ET:Legacy system-wide, run:

# make install

Be sure to set the CMake variables (see above) beforehand.

• option B: easybuild

In terminal, run:

$ ./easybuild.sh

To install, run:

$ cd build
$ make install

ET:Legacy will be installed in ~/etlegacy. To change it, set the CMake variables (see above) in the easybuild.sh file beforehand.

NOTE:

Even if you have a 64 bits linux distribution which provides 32 bits versions of all the required libraries, you might also need the development libraries (-devel packages) installed on your system.

In terminal, run:

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/Toolchain-cross-mingw-linux.cmake ..
$ make

By default, MinGW name is set to i686-w64-mingw32. You may have to change it in cmake/Toolchain-cross-mingw-linux.cmake depending on how it is called on your system.

• option A: Visual Studio

  1. install the free Visual Studio (C++ Express 2010 or newer)
  2. install CMake and make sure it is added to your system PATH
  3. create a build directory inside the directory which contains ET:Legacy sources
  4. open Visual Studio Command Prompt in the Start menu
  5. change directory with cd to the newly created build directory

In the command prompt, run:

cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -DBUNDLED_LIBS=YES .. && nmake

or

cmake -G "Visual Studio 10" -DBUNDLED_LIBS=YES ..

and open the resulting project in Visual Studio.

• option B: QtCreator

  1. install the free QtCreator
  2. install CMake and make sure it is added to your system PATH
  3. open the CMakeLists.txt file in QtCreator.

• option C: easybuild

  1. install the free Visual Studio (C++ Express 2010 or newer)
  2. install CMake and make sure it is added to your system PATH
  3. run easybuild.bat

ET:Legacy will be installed in My Documents\ETLegacy-Build. To change it, set the CMake variables (see above) in the easybuild.bat file beforehand.

NOTES:

If compilation of bundled libraries is aborted for any reason, you will probably need to clean the libs directory and start over. This can be done by executing git clean -df && git reset --hard HEAD inside libs/ directory.

If the build fails during libcurl compilation because of missing sed utility, download it from GnuWin and place it into your system path or copy it into MSVC/VC/bin. It also comes with Git and can be placed into your system path automatically if you select that option during Git installation.

In order to compile the jpeg library properly there is a need for a file named 'win32.mak'. Unfortunately this file isn't shipped with Windows 8.0 and 8.1 SDK versions. Solution: Get the Windows SDK 7 and copy 'win32.mak' to libs/jpeturbo/.

• option A: command line

TBD

• option B: easybuild

In Terminal, run:

$ ./easybuild.sh
$ cd build && make install

This will put an 'etlegacy' folder into your user folder.

NOTE:

In the legacy mod folder, the cgame_mac and ui_mac files are redundant since they are in the etl_bin.pk3 and will be extracted at runtime, so you can delete those. The client is named etl.app (and can safely be renamed), while the dedicated server is just a command-line binary named "etlded".
