* Package name : rtcw-sp Version : 1.42 Upstream Author : Gray Matter Interactive Studios / id Software * URL : https://github.com/id-Software/RTCW-SP * License : GPL-3+ with additional terms Programming Lang: C Description : military/occult WWII first-person shooter game - single player version Return to Castle Wolfenstein is a military- and occult-themed first-person shooter game in a Second World War setting, originally released in 2001. It is a sequel to Wolfenstein 3D, which is also available for Debian (in the wolf4sdl package). This package contains the game engine for the single-player campaign, based on the 2010 GPL source release and modified to work on modern Linux systems. It requires non-distributable game data files prepared using the game-data-packager tool. ---- This will need to go in contrib/games due to its dependence on non-free assets. I'm investigating whether game-data-packager will be able to unpack the assets from the CD-ROM: it might be necessary to resort to "please install RTCW using Wine and copy *.pk3 from there". Several forks of the original GPL code-drop exist: there isn't an obvious canonical version like ioquake3 for Quake III Arena. I'm currently looking at <https://github.com/Justasic/RTCW-SP> as the most promising basis for a Debian package. I intend to maintain this game in the Games Team (X-Debbugs-cc'd). Co-maintainers are very welcome. The single-player and multiplayer engines were released as separate codebases, both forked from Quake III Arena. To avoid needing to deal with network security issues in this forked codebase, I do not intend to package or maintain the team-based multiplayer variants of RTCW: RTCW-MP, which requires the same RTCW assets as RTCW-SP, or Enemy Territory, which requires the freely downloadable (but non-Free) Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory assets.
