A second breath of life for Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory

Website: http://www.etlegacy.com

IRC: #etlegacy on irc.freenode.net

Repository: https://github.com/etlegacy/etlegacy

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 goal is to fix bugs and clean up the codebase while remaining compatible with the ET 2.60b version.

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is a free release, and can be downloaded from http://www.splashdamage.com/content/download-wolfenstein-enemy-territory

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

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

In case you are a running a 64bit system, you will probably 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.

NOTE: Even if you have a 64bit linux distribution which provides 32bit versions of all the required libraries, cURL library also needs source code (package with -devel suffix) configured for the different architecture and it is rarely packaged on 64bit distributions.

• CMake (compile-time only)
• libSDL, version 1.2
• libjpeg, version 8 is required, version 6 won't compile!
• lua, either version 5.2 or 5.1 (optional)
• libcurl (optional, enabled by default)
• OGG Vorbis File (optional)
• OpenAL (optional)
• OpenGL
• Freetype (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 (libjpeg, libSDL and libcurl) 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 CMake configuration. You can then select which bundled libraries to use by toggling the respective BUNDLED_XXX variable.

In terminal run:

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

If you do not wish to install ET:L system-wide simply run:

$ make

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

First adjust the following variables 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 "etmain" is appended to it.

Then compile ET:L:

$ make
# make install

In terminal run:

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/Toolchain-cross-mingw32-linux.cmake ..
$ make

Mingw32 name is set to i686-pc-mingw32 by default. You may have to change that in cmake/Toolchain-cross-mingw32-linux.cmake depending on how it is called on your system.

• option A: Visual Studio

  1. download free Visual Studio C++ Express 2010
  2. when you install CMake, make sure it is added into your system PATH
  3. create build directory inside the directory which contains ET:L sources
  4. open Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010) (search for it in the Start menu) and cd to the newly created build directory
  5. run cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -DBUNDLED_LIBS=YES .. && nmake ... or cmake -G "Visual Studio 10" .. and open the resulting project in VS 2010

• option B: open the CMakeLists.txt file in QT Creator.

NOTE: 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 later Windows SDK versions. Solution: Get the Windows SDK 6 and copy 'win32.mak' to libs\jpeg.

NOTE: If build fails during libcurl compilation because of missing sed utility, download it from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/sed.htm 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.

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