Semi-related question: I downloaded the ECS version of Wolf3D a few weeks ago ( http://aminet.net/package/game/shoot/ecswolf3d ) but couldn't get it to run and of course in typical Amiga-fashion there was no instructions. Starting up it asked for some specific type of file which I had to Google (sorry, not in front of my Amiga at the moment), turns out I needed the executable and data files from PC version of Wolfenstein, I believe? Downloaded such off of some shady site online but it still wouldn't run after I dumped them into the game directory, did nothing, no errors, however if I tried to do something else afterward I'd get a visit from the guru.
So question is, where do I download the Wolfenstein source files for use on an Amiga? Is this game old enough yet that they've dropped into the public domain, or do I have to rip an executable off an old PC somewhere?
Thanks!!
Haven't tried this myself, but found this online:
http://dosgamer.com/wolfenstein-3d/download.htmlHmmm, might have to run the install.bat first on a real pc! Then copy the installed files over to Amiga, then replace the wolf3d executable with the Amiga one. I keep meaning to try this ECS version, I've tried out the AGA conversion of a few years back (the one with no sound) but haven't had any further dealings with Wolfenstein since unfortunately. Now there's the new AGA one with sound, and Nova's porting one as well so I'll have to get back into it.
