Compiling

Dependencies

Before compilation, make sure you have libsdl2-dev and libsd2-mixer-dev installed.

macOS

brew install sdl2 sdl2_mixer

Linux

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev

Building

To build populate the bin/ folder with binaries for all supported Wolfenstein releases, simply run:

make each

The default data directory is /usr/local/share/games/wolf3d/. If you would like to specify a custom data directory, do the following (./ means use the current directory, but any path can be placed here):

make each DATADIR="./"

Running

First, ensure you have the latest art files downloaded:

cd bin/
wget https://bitbucket.org/linuxwolf6/splitwolf/downloads/lwmp.zip
unzip lwmp.zip

Splitwolf supports Wolf3D, Spear of Destiny, and both of the Spear of Destiny Mission Packs. Place all of your data files in /usr/local/share/games/wolf3d/, then use the following commands:

cd bin/
./splitwolf-wolf3d
./splitwolf-wolf3d_apogee
./splitwolf-wolf3d_full
./splitwolf-sod
./splitwolf-sodmp --mission 2
./splitwolf-sodmp --mission 3
./splitwolf-spear_demo

Vanilla map packs are supported as well.

New game modes

In addition to co-op classic Wolfenstein 3D gameplay, Splitwolf brings 9 new game modes:

  1. Instagib You have only one life, but your weapons only take one shot to kill. Watch out, because so do the enemy's weapons!

  2. Defuse the bomb A bomb is spawned somewhere in the level, players must find and defuse it before time runs out, only then will the elevator unlock!

  3. Carry the Flag One player must carry the flag to the end of the level before the time runs out. You can't shoot when you have the flag, but you can impale Nazis with it or pass it to your friend with the use key!

  4. Vampire Drink the blood of your enemies to survive! Spawn with all weapons and infinite ammo and try to finish the level before your blood bar drains.

  5. Harvester Harvester pillars are placed randomly around the level, and after each kill, a skull is spawned on the pillars. You must find a pillar and collect the skull before the countdown ends to stay alive!

  6. Mutant BJ All of your enemies are zombie BJs with random weapons!

  7. Rampage Put your dukes up and knock your enemies out with fists of fury! Keep your adrenaline up to instagib enemies with one punch.

  8. Zombie Nazi zombies are attacking! Kill them by ganging up on them with shots from multiple players, otherwise they reanimate!

  9. Zombie Harvester Just like harvester, but with Nazi zombies that reanimate for an added challenge.

New weapons

Splitwolf brings the pain with an armored vehicle equipped with a mounted gatling gun!

unknown

There's also a deployable MG42 machine gun so you can splatter Nazis like it's going out of style.
