Wolf4SDL for Debian ------------------- * The wolf4sdl game requires additional data files which are not available under a free license and cannot be distributed by Debian. Thus, this package contains no data files, but future releases of `game-data-packager' are expected to be able to generate suitable data packages for wolf4sdl. . For the time being, it is required to obtain the data files from external resources (hint: WolfGL home page, Files section) and copy them into the `/usr/share/games/wolf3d' directory. * The wolf4sdl package in Debian supports five variants of the game: Wolf3d Full v1.4 Apogee (with ReadThis), Wolf3d Full v1.4 GT/ID/Activision, Wolf3d Shareware v1.4, Spear of Destiny Full and Mission Disks, Spear of Destiny Demo. The corresponding binaries are named 'wolf4sdl-wl6a', 'wolf4sdl-wl6', 'wolf4sdl-wl1', 'wolf4sdl-sod' and 'wolf4sdl-sdm', respectively. In order to select which variant is started by the 'wolf4sdl' command and the desktop and menu files, Debian's 'update-alternatives' mechanism is used: . $ update-alternatives --config wolf4sdl . By default, the 'wolf4sdl-wl1' alternative is preferred. . The game expects its data files in the '/usr/share/games/wolf3d' directory (with lower case file names), so make sure to also copy the appropriate data files into this directory when changing the 'wolf4sdl' alternative. -- Fabian Greffrath Mon, 03 Jan 2011 15:10:21 +0100
