Return to Castle Wolfenstein Multiplayer
About
This is id Software's official GPL-licensed source release of Return to Castle Wolfenstein's multiplayer code, compiled on Windows via a provided Visual C++ 2008 project or on Linux via the included cons build script; it does not include any game data, which remains under the original commercial EULA.
Getting started
You need a legitimately patched copy of Return to Castle Wolfenstein (available on Steam) for the game data; on Linux, the data must be installed via WINE since the original disc is Windows-only. Build the multiplayer binaries with the provided Visual C++ project on Windows or the cons script on Linux, then replace the corresponding client and QVM files to test.
Additional notes
- License note
- The release excludes some third-party code — a zlib-based zip utility, an RSA MD4 implementation, and the Independent JPEG Group library — which carry their own separate licenses outside the GPL.
