Mac 1.41 update is on Fileplanet among others. Good luck!
Release Return to Castle Wolfenstein
- Thread starter ptitSeb
- Start date
I am not aware of any other games that fall subject to the laws I linked, feel free to correct me on that with some examples.
Edit: Quake 2 and 3 might actually, somebody more knowledgable should look into this
To be clear, these laws do not apply to every 18+ game, only to a few very "extreme" examples, which have been deemed "harmful to the development of the personality of minors" by the "Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons" (yes, we actually have something like that...).
As dgame has stated, Doom was removed from said list a few years back and the German version of Doom2 was never put on it (there is no Wolfenstein level in that version).
As I have stated before, I am no expert in this field, nor do I support these laws (most of them are kinda ridiculous, I think), I am just trying to prevent any damage to ED (following a report on the repo).
So until an expert has looked at this, I think we should stop wasting each others time discussing matters we don't know enough about.
If any other repo mods or the maintainer think my actions are unwarranted or I am overreacting, they are free to re-enable the apps in question, I don't really care.

Wikipedia mentions it. We are just hosting the engine of the game. Not the game itself. Rename it to rtcw_engine and say it just the modified quake3 engine which was used in the game. This is what wikipedia does. If someone want to play the game, he or she has to go the shop and buy one copy. End of discussion.
Next step would be to host the server in an other country. Maybe France, Netherland or something.

29€ per month, netherlands, maybe owned by someone outside germany. Problem solved^^

Way back when (2010) Pickle ported Wolf3D and SOD. Not sure why they never made it to the repo. More info on release here: http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?/topic/56977-wolf4sdl-with-pickelauncher-for-pandora/At the rate he's going, Spear of Destiny and the others will be up soon.

I must be missing something. The game works great, but it will not allow me to enable cheats. I added the following line to wolfconfig.cfg:
seta sv_cheats "1"
Started the game and tried to use some of the cheats but it gives me the following response:
Cheats are not enabled on this server.
Tried /sv_cheats 1
Responds with "sv_cheats is read only".
I checked wolfconfig.cfg - sv_cheats is now set back to 0. So there is no way to enable cheats for this game?

Yep, cheating is bad, it kills the game. But, if you already completed it a few times, there is nothing wrong
The file is named wolfconfig.cfg and is located in an hidden folder: appdata/rtcw/home/.wolf/main
The variable is not created, you have to add a new line.

Well, looking a bit around, it seems that the "+ set sv_cheats 1" is to be setup on command line... Or you have to load a saved game. Internet is quite confusing. Anyway, there are many thread but I don't know what works. I know rtcw.arm check that variable to alow Cheating, not sure how this variable is populated (to tired to check tonight).I must be missing something.

Any news on the repo situation?
For the Demo, I think the simplest is that I delete curent version and upload a new one without any Data, like for the full the Game (it's a different executable, demo datas won't work with full PND).

because of the potential implications as @foxblock said we need to wait for @EvilDragon to comment and make a decision.

Yes, I know patience is not my strong point.
In the mean time, I update to build 02 (see 1st post for What's New).
For the Demo version, I have removed the Data files, and I also remove Build 01 completly from the repo.
I hope this helps to solve this.

I checked something like that with german authorities back at the GP2X days...
Basically, we CAN offer the binary only files, however, NOTHING of the game should be seen on the repo.
So no screenshots for this PND, please.
Binary Only PND (which obviously states there are no data files included) without screenshots is fine.

Ok, no problem, I remove the Screenshots from the PND. That will be an updated build 02, and I delete older Builds once uploaded.

Thanks. We also need to remove the older builds from the archived page, but I'll take care of that.

Ok, I've updated both PND, and remove all archived build too.
Do I have to de the same (no data, no screenshot) for Enemy Territory too?

@EvilDragon, who will be re-enabling the apps? @ptitSeb or yourself?
ptitSeb
Serial Porter
Ok, done. I've re-enabled both cleaned PND.
For ET, ok. I'll remove the screenshot too, and put no W:ET data inside. It's in closed beta for now...

@ptitSeb many thanks for yet another great porting job!
@foxblock thank you for ensuring ED doesn't end up in trouble; regardless of my views on the German law concerning this, I 100% agree with your actions. Better to play it safe rather than sorry.
