Anyone Wanna Play Rise of the Triad?

I saw that Rise of the Triad is getting a remake, so I downloaded the linux port source code and compiled it. Here is a tar.gz file containing the shareware files. There is a second folder containing the binary for the retail version however the retail versions wad files are not included. I have also included the source code that contains the readme with the appropriate credits.

download:
http://www.2shared.com/file/OSi1y-SL/rotttar.html

You must:
modprobe snd_bcm2835 #should be in your .bash_profile anyways
apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2 xorg

in the shareware folder run:
startx ./rott

for the full version go inside the darkwar folder and run(requires wad files):
startx ./rott_darkwar

It was much better multiplayer deathmatch than single player - some of the weapons were awesome compared to Doom - drunken missile anyone

I found a RISC OS port of this that is supposed to work on the Pi but I can't get it to work:

anyone else have better luck?

all i get is an error message:

Code: Select all

./rott_shareware

Looks like it is missing the WAD files to run the game, which are basically the map files. Without WADs, you have no game.
