Wolfenstein Enemy Territory
This archive contains all files needed to run Wolfenstein ET 2.60b on Linux. It includes two folder :
One to launch the main game :
- The official game
- et-sdl-sound (enabling sound - fetch from http://nullkey.ath.cx/~stuff/et-sdl-sound/et-sdl-sound.gz)
One to launch a Jaymod server:
- Jaymod 2.2.0
- Omnibot 0.87 (recover from the SVN repository on the #3594 commit - NOT A RELEASE)
Requirements
Wolfenstein ET is built on a 32 bits arch. So, 32 bits librairies must exist to run the game.
# add the i386 architecture
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
# do update to fetch i386 librairies
sudo apt-get update
# install the 32 bits compatible librairies
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs (mint)
sudo apt-get install lib32z1 (ubuntu)
# after the installation the following lib must be present
sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian:i386
Installation
NOTE : The installation has been tested on Ubuntu/Mint 20.04
- Create the main folders
# as root
mkdir -p /usr/local/games/enemy-territory
chown 1000 /usr/local/games/enemy-territory && chmod 775 /usr/local/games/enemy-territory
mkdir -p /opt/games/enemy-territory
chown 1000 /opt/games/enemy-territory && chmod 775 /opt/games/enemy-territory
# as main user
cp -r base/* /usr/local/games/enemy-territory
cp -r server /opt/games/enemy-territory
Launch the game
cd /usr/local/games/enemy-territory
./et-sdl-sound
Enjoy !
NOTE : Some librairies may be missing, you need to install it one by one (test to launch ./et.x86 and see missing libs)
Settings

Common errors
On Ubuntu 20.04 :
------- sound initialization -------
SDL audio driver initializing...
ALSA lib conf.c:3722:(snd_config_hooks_call) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_conf_pulse.so (/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so: libasound_module_conf_pulse.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
ALSA lib pcm.c:2642:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default

You must install the corresponding 32 bits library :
sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins:i386
