The source code comes prepared to build version 1.4 of the full version of Wolfenstein 3D, but is actually capable of building for multiple different versions of the game, as well as Spear of Destiny!
This guide will show you how to change the code to compile for different games and different versions of them. It assumes you already have a game project that successfully compiles. If not, you'll want to check out the guide for setting up a Wolf4SDL project.
Open up your Version.h file in the editor of your choice, and you should see the following block of lines:
//#define SPEAR //#define SPEARDEMO //#define UPLOAD #define GOODTIMES #define CARMACIZED //#define APOGEE_1_0 //#define APOGEE_1_1 //#define APOGEE_1_2 //#define JAPAN
These lines turn on/off various aspects of the code exclusive to particular versions or games. In Wolf4SDL, annotations have been added which help identify what lines need to be commented or uncommented to activate what version of the source code.
| Wolf3d Full v1.1 Apogee (with ReadThis) | CARMACIZED APOGEE_1_1 |
| Wolf3d Full v1.4 Apogee (with ReadThis) | CARMACIZED |
| Wolf3d Full v1.4 GT/ID/Activision | CARMACIZED GOODTIMES |
| Wolf3d Full v1.4 Imagineer (Japanese) | CARMACIZED JAPAN |
| Wolf3d Shareware v1.0 | UPLOAD APOGEE_1_0 |
| Wolf3d Shareware v1.1 | CARMACIZED UPLOAD APOGEE_1_1 |
| Wolf3d Shareware v1.2 | CARMACIZED UPLOAD APOGEE_1_2 |
| Wolf3d Shareware v1.4 | CARMACIZED UPLOAD |
| Spear of Destiny Full and Mission Disks | CARMACIZED SPEAR GOODTIMES (Disable Quiz) |
| Spear of Destiny Demo | CARMACIZED SPEAR SPEARDEMO |
By default, CARMACIZED and GOODTIMES are uncommented, making the source build for the GT/ID/Activision full version of Wolfenstein 3D.
If we wanted to compile the code for the up to date shareware version, we need CARMACIZED and UPLOAD instead. Change the lines as follows to do so:
//#define SPEAR //#define SPEARDEMO #define UPLOAD //#define GOODTIMES #define CARMACIZED //#define APOGEE_1_0 //#define APOGEE_1_1 //#define APOGEE_1_2 //#define JAPAN
With this change, if you compile the code, it will compile for the Shareware version of Wolfenstein 3D!
