GENERAL NOTES

Game data and patching:

This source release does not contain any game data, the game data is still covered by the original EULA and must be obeyed as usual.

You must patch the game to the latest version.

Note that RTCW is available from the Steam store at http://store.steampowered.com/app/9010/

Linux note: due to the game CD containing only a Windows version of the game, you must install and update the game using WINE to get the game data.

Compiling on win32:

A Visual C++ 2008 project is provided in srcwolf.sln. The solution file is compatible with the Express release of Visual C++.

You will need to execute src\extractfuncs\extractfuncs.bat to generate src\game\g_save.c

You can test your binaries by replacing WolfSP.exe, qagamex86.dll, cgamex86.dll, uix86.dll at the top of the RTCW install

Compiling on GNU/Linux x86 x86_64:

Make sure CMake is installed and run ./configure from the project root directory.

Once finished run cd build/ and make

If problems occur, consult the internet or me (Justasic).

Other platforms, updated source code, security issues:

If you have obtained this source code several weeks after the time of release

(August 2010), it is likely that you can find modified and improved

versions of the engine in various open source projects across the internet.

Depending what is your interest with the source code, those may be a better

starting point.

Permission is hereby granted to use, copy, modify, and distribute this

software (or portions thereof) for any purpose, without fee, subject to these

conditions:

(1) If any part of the source code for this software is distributed, then this

README file must be included, with this copyright and no-warranty notice

unaltered; and any additions, deletions, or changes to the original files

must be clearly indicated in accompanying documentation.

(2) If only executable code is distributed, then the accompanying

documentation must state that "this software is based in part on the work of

the Independent JPEG Group".

(3) Permission for use of this software is granted only if the user accepts

full responsibility for any undesirable consequences; the authors accept

NO LIABILITY for damages of any kind.

These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on the IJG code,

not just to the unmodified library. If you use our work, you ought to

acknowledge us.

NOTE: unfortunately the README that came with our copy of the library has

been lost, so the one from release 6b is included instead. There are a few

'glue type' modifications to the library to make it easier to use from

the engine, but otherwise the dependency can be easily cleaned up to a

better release of the library.
