Return to Castle Wolfenstein - IORTCW source port

tacgnol

forgot to add, i disabled the config in my version since i added the venom mod and manually tweaked the config. if you are interested, don't forget to uncomment those 2 lines.

@Zering Give me time and tomorrow I will try on a raspberry pi 3b, tell me your OS version and retropie ?, I will try the original script that created @ tpo1990, and the one that I have modified by me, also the installation has created a log in the address / home / pi / RetroPie-Setup / logs /, or something similar, I speak from memory, where there will be more information about the problem, please publish it.

Cesarpuig

@tacgnol Those modifications are the ones I made. What raspberry pi are you installing it on?

tacgnol

@Cesarpuig rpi4

yeah, I just wanted to have something ready to go/download while tpo1990 is tweaking his own script. Thanks for those info by the way !

Cesarpuig

@tacgnol thanks to you for answering, you have tried it on a rpi4 just like me, tomorrow I will try it on jna rpi3, and I comment

Zering

@tacgnol Thanks, I'd like to try your script but I can't find the two lines you've mentioned. I looked at cesarpuig's script for comparison and both look identical?

@Cesarpuig I'm on a Retropie 3 B+, running on Raspbian GNU/Linux 9.11
I've got version 4.6.

Here is the log of RTCW's installation :

@Zering
I have tried on my raspberry pi 3, with retropie 4.18 and raspbiam strech, and I have the same problem, none of the scripts nor the previous one from tpo1990 works, nor the modifications that I have added to make it work on my raspberry pi 4, I think that there are two options:

1st clone a previous commit.

2nd Open an issue in the iortcw repository.

For the moment I am going to opt for the second and I comment.

EDIT:
I have opened an issue in the iortcw repository, if we cannot solve it so we will try to clone a previous commit that we know works

Zering

@Cesarpuig How do we clone a previous commit?

I'd be very happy to test anything, I'm very eager to play this, I've been wanting to play it since its release in 2001 ^^

tacgnol

@Zering Sorry, I forgot to mention that I used the rpi4 in my previous answer to you.

I haven't tested on rpi3 with the new script, but it seems this morning a bug report has been filled :)

My script used the exact procedure explained by @Cesarpuig .

Cesarpuig

@Zering I don't know how to do it from retropie (raspbian), I am not familiar with this operating system, today I have done some tests and manually compile and build it but I don't know how to do it from the script, tomorrow I will do some more tests

Cesarpuig

@Zering @tacgnol @tpo1990 Hello I have updated my installation script adding the dependency libgles1-mesa-dev, and in my case it has solved the build failure on rpi3.
I have updated the link where I shared the installation script, I have tested it on rpi3 and rpi4, and it works for me.

Please if you can try and comment.

Thank you

Zering

@Cesarpuig Thanks, I've managed to build the module successfully. Now to set it up...

Cesarpuig

@Zering I'm glad you managed to install it, when you set it up and play it please comment that it works for you, that my tests have been limited to installing it

Edit.

Tip: in SP set Video mode: Automatic (Native).

and change the resolution from runcommand

Zering

@Cesarpuig Well it doesn't work T_T

I've got all the files where the tutorial says to put them, but I get a black screen shortly before being kicked back to ES.

I'm thinking the issue might come from the GOG version, so I'll try another rom and get back to you.

Edit : The other version I could find doesn't have all the files needed to run the game on the RPi. Weird.

Here is the log after RTCW failed to launch :

@Zering
I just installed it in my raspberry pi 3, Retropi 4.6, raspbian strecht, and it works fine, these are the data I have for SP, for example for you to try:

pak0.pk3 MD5: ce92b11df889cb0a045762bb5fd7cde5
sp_pak1.pk3 MD5: a0d3fe956f85f40c8efd6babe0d09832
sp_pak2.pk3 MD5: 330b272d5261fe19fcf3c3fbc943c7f3
sp_pak3.pk3 MD5: 4f3c364ced7c7c70e32732f07c8be050 (Spanish)
sp_pak4.pk3 MD5: 4223cc6588594ec0ceee186f0e73a6e9 (fron patch-data-141.zip)

Before installing it again please delete all files and start from scratch.

Zering

@Cesarpuig Thanks for that, I checked the MD5 of every file and figured out my pak3 is wrong.

Not sure how I'm going to fix that though but at least I know what's wrong now.

Cesarpuig

@Zering the sp_pak3.pk3 mine is the Spanish version, it will have a different md5 than yours, but that does not mean that yours is not correct

Zering

@Cesarpuig Oh, right.

Any idea why it is not launching then? I've got pretty much the same data as you.

Cesarpuig

@Zering I can't think of anything, try updating your system
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade from console press F4

Update core packages and sdl2 from retropie setup from emulationstation (The latter I do not know if it makes much sense, but between my tests to see if it worked for me are two things I did)

Delete all iortcw related files

/home/pi/.wolf/
/opt/retropie/config/ports/rtcw-sp/
/opt/retropie/config/ports/rtcw-mp/
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/rtcw

And reinstall.

tpo1990

@Cesarpuig Great success. Let me try it out on my own RPi 3B setup and I will get back to you.

Yesterday I also tried some testing and eventually I was able to the game to build but still not working completely.
