There are at least 3 versions of Rise of the Triad that are supported
|
|
by rott. Each game version uses a different game binary, but there's a
|
|
wrapper script that looks at the available game data files and runs the
|
|
"best" version of the game (this is what happens if you just run "rott",
|
|
or run Rise of the Triad from the KDE/XFCE application menu). The game
|
|
looks for the data files in /usr/share/games/rott, and the different
|
|
versions can coexist. All filenames must be UPPERCASE.
|
|
|
|
Which version do I have?
|
|
------------------------
|
|
If you've got an installed copy of the game, maybe on a DOS/Windows partition,
|
|
here's how to identify it:
|
|
|
|
- If you have no files named DARKWAR.*, you have the shareware/demo
|
|
version.
|
|
|
|
- If you have DARKWAR.(WAD|RTL|RTC), but no ROTTCD.RTC, you have the
|
|
registered floppy/download version.
|
|
|
|
- If you have ROTTCD.RTC (and DARKWAR.*), you have the CD-ROM version.
|

Shareware/Demo version 1.3
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
Data files: HUNTBGIN.WAD HUNTBGIN.RTC HUNTBGIN.RTL REMOTE1.RTS
|
|
|
|
If you want to include the shareware game data files in your package,
|
|
download the shareware version of the game and place it in the SlackBuild
|
|
directory before building:
|
|
|
|
# wget http://icculus.org/rott/share/1rott13.zip
|
|
# ./rott.SlackBuild
|
|
# installpkg /tmp/rott-$VERSION-$ARCH-$BUILD.tgz
|
|
|
|
If the icculus.org link doesn't work, the same file can be downloaded
|
|
from http://www.3drealms.com/rott/ (look for "v1.3 Shareware
|
|
Episode" on the page). Either way, the md5sum for rott13.zip is
|
|
0fafd6b629eab80278fc726e31f9cf41.
|
|
|
|
If you built the package without the shareware data files, you can just
|
|
extract the zip file and copy the data files to /usr/share/games/rott
|
|
manually.
|
|
|
|
The binary for the shareware version is called "rott-demo".
|

Registered (Floppy Disk, Registered Download) version 1.3
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Data files: DARKWAR.WAD DARKWAR.RTC DARKWAR.RTL REMOTE1.RTS
|
|
|
|
Copy these files from your DOS/Windows ROTT game directory to
|
|
/usr/share/games/rott/, making sure to give them all-uppercase names.
|
|
If the shareware REMOTE1.RTS is already there, it doesn't matter whether
|
|
you overwrite it or not (this file is identical in the demo and registered
|
|
versions).
|
|
|
|
If you have an older version than 1.3, see http://www.3drealms.com/rott/
|
|
for a patch.
|
|
|
|
The binary for the registered version is called "rott-reg".
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
CD-ROM version 1.3
|
|
------------------
|
|
Data files: DARKWAR.WAD ROTTCD.RTC DARKWAR.RTL REMOTE1.RTS
|
|
|
|
Copy these files from your Rise of the Triad CD-ROM to
|
|
/usr/share/games/rott/, making sure to give them all-uppercase names.
|
|
On my CD, there are two copies of the files (in the rottplay/ and
|
|
rottinst/ subdirectories). The REMOTE1.RTS is identical to the
|
|
one from the shareware and registered versions.
|
|
|
|
The binary for the CD-ROM version is called "rott-cdrom". (The CD doesn't
|
|
have to be in the drive to play the game, though)
|
|
|
|
This version of the game is identical to the registered version except
|
|
that it uses a different set of levels for multiplayer games.
|
|
|
|
If you have an older version than 1.3, see http://www.3drealms.com/rott/
|
|
for a patch.

Data File MD5 sums

|
|
These md5sums are for the 1.3 shareware and CD-ROM versions of the game
|
|
(the files the SlackBuild author used for testing). If yours don't match,
|
|
they might be for an older version of the game, or they might be corrupt
|
|
(try them and see).

Wrapper Script (/usr/games/rott)
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
If you run "rott" from the command line, or launch it from the KDE/XFCE
|
|
application menu, this script looks in /usr/share/games/rott to see which
|
|
set of data files you have, and runs the correct game binary for you.
|
|
|
|
If the script finds ROTTCD.RTC, it runs rott-cdrom
|
|
Otherwise, if it finds DARKWAR.WAD, it runs rott-reg
|
|
Otherwise, if it finds HUNTBGIN.WAD, it runs rott-demo
|
|
If none of the above exist, it exits with an error.
|
|
|
|
If you have the correct data files, you can always run rott-demo,
|
|
rott-reg, or rott-cdrom directly, to choose which version of the game
|
|
to play. You probably should always do this for multiplayer games,
|
|
since all players need to be running the same version of the game.

Add-on Levels
|
|
-------------
|
|
Add-on level packs require the registered or CD-ROM version of the game.
|
|
To load them, use the "file", "filertl", and/or "filertc" options. Unlike
|
|
the main game data files, add-on files are searched for in the current
|
|
directory (or you can give the full path).
|
|
|
|
Example: to play the ROTT Reject Level Pack, download and unzip it, then
|
|
run:
|
|
|
|
$ rott filertc REJECTS.RTC
|
|
|
|
...and then start up comm-bat mode.
|
|
|
|
RTL files are single-player levels and RTC files are for comm-bat
|
|
(multiplayer). Remember that comm-bat mode doesn't really work in this
|
|
port of ROTT (no networking code, so all you can do is run around by
|
|
yourself).
