Wolf3D source code doesn't work ?

[Whistler]

Hi,

not sure where to post this but here may be the best place I've found...

I have compiled the Wolf3D source code, but after I copied the wolf3d.exe to the main wolf3d directory and execute it, all the graphics are messed up ? (I can play the game anyway, but the menus and the HUD are all messed up) I don't know if anyone have solved this problem. So if you know how please tell me.

Thanks.

Make sure your data files are from Wolf3D v1.4. Different versions of the data files aren't compatible with different versions of the exe.

[Whistler]

Thanks for reply. Yes, my Wolf3d is an old 1.1 version.

But there's no upgrade patch available on either this site or Id software's ftp server. Anyone knows where to find it, or anyone managed to make it work in 1.1 ?

Thanks again.

if you got it from apogee email them and they can help you if not then use your imagination

never mind, I've got it work...

But there's no upgrade patch available on either this site or Id software's ftp server. Anyone knows where to find it, or anyone managed to make it work in 1.1 ?

For the record, there isn't one. The last update for Wolfenstein 3D was in January of 1993. That was before any of us started doing patches. Later on, I attempted to retro create a patch for the game, but I could not find verifyable authentic versions of all the versions of the games to build one.

Problem is that v1.1 and v1.2 both say v1.1 on them - someone forgot to update the version number for v1.2, so that made it difficult. There was also no v1.3, and there was a 1.4 and a 1.4g. The g was when we were in our "we don't want cheat codes in our games", and hex edited out the goobers command line parameter - replaced it with spaces. We later reversed that, but that means we would need to dig up the original v1.0, v1.1, v1.2, v1.4, & v1.4g to account for all versions out there.

It couldn't be done, so it was abandoned.

If someone really wants an upgrade after all this time, they can contact [email protected] - assuming we can locate you in the database, you can get an replacement.

Or you could just buy it - it's not much more expensive than what a replacement would cost you anyway - we charge $5 for a replacement, plus S&H.

erm, there's a mistake in the code...

STARTFONTM = 9
STARTPICS = 9

replace these 2 9's to 3

[Night Hacker]

Patches for the registered version 1.0 and 1.1 to bring them up to 1.2 are available HERE for download, as well as the shareware version.

Oh, there is also already a nice port done call WolfGL, which is an opengl version of the game available HERE along with some 3D models to replace some of the sprites and some hires textures. It looks VERY nice, probably as nice as one could possibly make Wolf3D look in opengl.

[Frenkel]

Talkin' 'bout Wolf3D: It's exactly 12 years ago when Wolfenstein 3-D version 1.0 was first released!

[moron]

ah I remember those days I wonder why no one cares about hi scores and secret walls any more? I would spend a long time after I finished a level pushing all the walls to look for secret doors but I wouldint dream of doing that in a recent shooter I wonder why??

Those don't look legit at all. They didn't come from us - any patch from 3DR wouldn't have pure data files like that in there.

In addition, it doesn't include an update to the exe file.

I would NOT trust those.

[Frenkel]

According to the Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny faq the only difference between v1.1 and v1.2 is that in v1.2 the Secret level elevator bug (introduced in 1.1 ) was fixed.

Right. I know that. The reason there's no 1.3 is that I found a release of Wolf claiming to be an "Adult version of Wolf3D coming out as v1.3". I showed that to Scott Miller (I was not working here yet), and he showed it to id. After that, there was a concious decision not to have a v1.3. I was proud of that.

But your quote doesn't make much sense - I was talking about how the exe wasn't there. Your point was that only the map data changed, so that's all that's in the "patch". Thing is, neither us nor id ever released a "patch" that was like that. THAT is my point - whatever this file is, I'd be utterly shocked if it was official. When I started here, I was the the that organized our online distribution, made patches standard, made all the zip files a certain way, etc, etc, etc.. I know what it was like when I took it over, and we didn't have any patches before I started here (Dec of 1992).

[jbailey]

I have the sources to wolf3d, and I have successfully
compiled exe's for both wolf3d & spear of destiny from
the same sources, (just change a few things for spear),
I managed to find some 'altered' graphics files, can't
remember where at the moment, that fixed the
graphics problem when you ran the original set.
The sources I have do not have the changes listed
in this thread, also I have the original borland compiler
3.1 AFW compiler, it's the only compiler on my system
that seems to compile this game properly...

[Night Hacker]

I have never tried those patches out. Perhaps you should send an email to 3DGamers.com informing them that the one patch is not official.

I have never had a problem with anything I have downloaded from 3DGamers.com yet. Have you looked at that patch to see if it works or not? I'll probably take a look now that you have my curiosity up.

Edit: the doc file that comes with it is signed "Apogee Software". but you're right, it doesn't make sense to include datafiles, especially if they are commercial datafiles. Someone probably threw it together to fix the problem, I don't know why they would sign it Apogee though. <shrug>

[Joe Siegler]

Why would someone put together a porn version of Wolfenstein 3D, call it an "Official v1.3" of Wolf3D, and sign it Apogee?

Why do people write viruses?

Get the point?

Excellent point.
