OpenRW

OpenRW is an open source re-implementation of Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto III, a classic 3D action game first published in 2001.

OpenRW requires a legitimate copy of the original PC game data in order to run. Without this data it will not be possible to run openrw.

Building

Dependencies:

  • Bullet
  • GLM (0.9.5+)
  • SFML (2.0+)
  • libmad
  • Boost Test

Global Options:

  • BUILD_TESTS — Build the test suite
  • BUILD_VIEWER - Build the Qt GUI for viewing data
  • BUILD_SCRIPT_TOOL - Build the script dissassembler

Recomended build

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ../ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Running

rwgame

This is the game binary. Before running the game a config file is needed, by default the game will look for ~/.config/OpenRW/openrw.ini, which should look like:

[game]
path=/opt/games/Grand Theft Auto 3/        ; Game data path

Eventually the game will write this for you, but currently it must be done by hand.

  • Options:
    • -w n, -h n sets initial window size
    • --newgame starts a new game automatically
  • Controls:
    • W/A/S/D: Move
    • Shift: Sprint
    • Space: Jump
    • F: Enter/Exit Vehicle
    • Mouse Wheel: Cycle weapons
    • Mouse 1: Fire Weapon

rwviewer

This is a Qt tool for opening the game data. It currently supports looking at objects and their models, and a primitive world viewer. It needs more work to be useful for looking inside archives and viewing textures.
