Wolf3D (Original) on Linux

[CrusadeR]

There is a Linux port (the Wolfenstein source was released into the public domain a while back):

http://wolfgl.sourceforge.net/

It works rather well (I ordered the commemorative edition of Wolf3D Activision released a few years back) with both the original Wolfenstein 3-D and the sequel, Spear of Destiny.

Depends. The basics like movement and firing would work, but you'd be missing some commands, and have some that didn't work - use the ingame menu to set those.

Yeah, the basics all look the same. It crashed and burned on some of the vm and other settings, so I just went through and configured again by hand. It's not a big deal.

BTW, don't expect to be strafe jumping or anything...

Yeah, I've played the Windows test, great stuff.

Another d/l site.

Hope that for everyone who didn't get it from id software's ftp site that this link works: http://www.3ddownloads.com/?file_id=152201. That should get you three ftp sites to grab the full version.

Cheers!!

My thought is that the best thing to do would be to append your file to the Wolfenstein file. That way any settings that are new to Wolfenstein would get set to the defaults, but your own settings will override the settings in the first half of the file.
