sources of Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Single-player and multiplayer included. Unbelievable! Another great surprise from Id Software!" Update: 04/14 15:19 GMT by T : Note: don't get your hopes up -- these are the sources for the game code, not the engine.

Slashcod is easy to understand, because they use their own language.

Once again, the stuff Timothy posts is almost always inaccurate, out of date, totally wrong, or all of the above.
Don't expect any less than the best!
Thank you very much for providing this. I was wondering how I could get my hands on a Win* box to unzip it, now I don't need to.
Thanks, you saved me a lot of trouble!
Thanks!!! I use Macintosh only and no windows emulator. The game already runs on the mac, but I really was hoping to get the source of the game to look at and YOU helped me! Thank you !!!!
cool thank you very much!
At the point I am posting this, your post currently has 5 replies. Mine is #6.
My belief is that such "mistakes" have historically garnered a lot more activity. Hence it is in Slashdot's best interest to continue making "mistakes" in order to keep activity high. The more posts per article, the theory goes, the more eyeballs viewed the ad(s) at the top, so they can charge more.
It's always about the money. And I agree -- the mistakes are easily catchable (duplicate postings), juvenile (witness 4/1/02), and irritating (the headline for this article is just ambiguous enough to make you want to read the damn thing).
The worst part? Slashdot is addictive; although they're not getting money directly from me in the form of a subscription, they are getting money from me indirectly in the form of page views, which cost the advertisers more; and posts, which probably cost the advertisers more than a page view. So even though I'll most likely never subscribe, my activity is still helping make them money. And if it educates/entertains me in the meantime, well, that's cool.
My point? Don't worry about it. If the quality has gone that far downhill, we'd start seeing .sig lines hawking alternative news discussion sites at the same frequency as we're seeing the "Great Slashdot Blackout" coming up the week of April 21(ish). But Slashdot is
Heroinware ; there's plenty of us junkies keeping stats up.
I feel fantastic, and I'm still alive.
