NAME

ecwolf - Advanced Wolfenstein 3D source port

SYNOPSIS

ecwolf [options] [files ...]

DESCRIPTION

ecwolf is an advanced source port of the Wolfenstein 3D engine based upon Wolf4SDL with some back ports from ZDoom. It provides substantially boosted capabilities for creating mods without requiring source code edits using scripting and other tools familiar to users of ZDoom.

For players it offers modern features such as support for modern control schemes and wide screen. Being based on the Wolfenstein 3D engine and using an enhanced version of the original software renderer, it provides a relatively accurate play experience to vanilla while modernizing.

Currently supported games are Wolfenstein 3D, Spear of Destiny, and Super 3-D Noah's Ark.

OPTIONS

Use the --help option for a complete list of options.

FILES

The original game data files are required for operation. These are files with the extensions *.n3d, *.sod, *.sd2, *.sd3, *.wl1, or *.wl6. They should be placed either in ~/.config/ecwolf or /usr/share/wolf3d.

If you do not have these files they can be acquired at https://www.gog.com or through Steam.
