Return to Castle Wolfenstein - IORTCW source port

@tpo1990
my guess its the one from this post

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/347/background-music-continued-from-help-support/1

so i think he will need to add iortcw to line 25 i believe.
i used to use it but sometimes it would not see a port when it launches.

@tpo1990 The script is from here https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/347/background-music-continued-from-help-support/1
Just tried adding iortcw to the list of emulator names on line 25 but the music remains.

@Quackwalks If you added it to the end. You might need to move it to the front of the list. I know I had problems with that in the past with darkplaces.

@ExarKunIv @Quackwalks Can't tell how it works since i have not tried that specific background music script. Yes i do think we need to add the port/emulator into the code of the script. I did however tried out something similiar which i installed from a script with expanded options for RetroPie. Can't remember the name of that script at the moment since i do not have my RPI with me.

@ExarKunIv Moving "iortcw" to the front of the list of emulator names didn't work.

@Quackwalks I just looked through my scriptmodule for RTCW and the port builds both singleplayer and multiplayer into it's own config folder in ports like this.

function configure_rtcw() {
    addPort "$md_id" "rtcw-sp" "Return to Castle Wolfenstein - SP" "$md_inst/iowolfsp.arm"
    addPort "$md_id" "rtcw-mp" "Return to Castle Wolfenstein - MP" "$md_inst/iowolfmp.arm"

Try adding rtcw-sp to the front of the list of emulator or rtcw-mp if you are using multiplayer. If this still does not work then try adding rtcw instead.

This won't work! This is just the setup for emulator.cfg you need the running binary. Hence the script should search for iowolfsp.arm and iowolfmp.arm

EDIT:
I really wait for a modification that just watches a running pid from bash-file runcommand.sh ... that's all :)

@tpo1990 @cyperghost I tried rtcw-sp, trcw-mp, rtcw, iowolfsp.arm and iowolfmp.arm at the beginning of the list of emulator names with no success. Thanks for trying though. This is kinda crazy because what other names are there to try? I think I've tried all there is for this game.

@Quackwalks Hmmm... Well I prefer the mpg123 method for mp3 play.
You can read more about ---> here: Quick and Easy guide credits for this method fly out to @synack
Meanwhile mpg123 can also fade in/fade out --> here: mpg123 fade in/fade out , you can ask me if you've any question regarding this one.

@Quackwalks Then i have no idea what to use for make it able to mute the music when starting rtcw at the moment. But maybe @cyperghost 's approach could work.

Error message when I try to create a server (local or online, it doesn't matter):
Unpure Client Detected Invalid PK3 Files!

ExarKunIv

@tpo1990 when i ran the update script for Retropie i get a error for rtcw.

@Turrican2k "For Multiplayer. Add all the multiplayer pak files: mp_bin.pk3, mp_pak0.pk3, mp_pak1.pk3, mp_pak2.pk3, mp_pak3.pk3, mp_pak4.pk3, mp_pak5.pk3, mp_pakmaps0.pk3, mp_pakmaps1.pk3, mp_pakmaps2.pk3, mp_pakmaps3.pk3, mp_pakmaps4.pk3, mp_pakmaps5.pk3, mp_pakmaps6.pk3 from your RTCW installation to /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/rtcw."

Turrican2k

@quicksilver I did it completely according to the description! A total of 19 files that I have transferred from the Platinum Edition. The single player works anyway, multiplayer has the said error message ...

@Turrican2k I'll see if I can replicate your issue

@Turrican2k Set sv_pure 0 in the .cfg file - or toggle the console (via ~) and write sv_pure 0.

Turrican2k

@mitu Thank you very much, that helped!

However, you have to enter in the * .cfg seta sv_pure "0".

tpo1990

@ExarKunIv What RPI model did you ran the update script on?

@Turrican2k You can also disable the "Pure server" option in the multiplayer server options. It should be there when choosing multiplayer map. This is easier that editing the .cfg file or changing it in the console.

Hi all, I've just tried installing this, but I get the following error:

Could not successfully install RTCW - IORTCW source port of Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
(/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build.rtcw/SP/build/release-Linux-arm/iowolfsp.arm not found).

I'm on a Pi 3B running the latest Buster build.
To install I ran

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tpo1990/RTCW-RPI/master/rtcw.sh -P $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/

and then I installed from source in the RPsetup menu. Anyone know what's going on?

Also, when I do manage to install this, do I need to have all the single player pak files (pak0.pk3, sp_pak1.pk3, sp_pak2.pk3, sp_pak3.pk3 and sp_pak4.pk3) to run this? My version of RTCW only has pak0.pk3 and sp_pak.pk3

Thanks

There's an error during installation from source - look in the logs sub-folder and you'll find the detailed error in the latest log file. My guess it's missing a package dependency and compilation fails.
