About

This is id Software's official GPL-licensed source release of Return to Castle Wolfenstein's single-player 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 single-player binaries with the provided Visual C++ project on Windows or the cons script on Linux, then replace the corresponding executable and QVM files to test.

Requires original assets. Game data is not included; the original game data must be patched to the latest version.

Licensing & legal

  • 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.
