## INTRODUCTION



ET: Legacy is an open source project based on the code of [Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory](https://www.splashdamage.com/games/wolfenstein-enemy-territory/) which [was released](https://www.splashdamage.com/news/wolfenstein-enemy-territory-goes-open-source/) in 2010 under the terms of the GPLv3.



There are two aspects to this project:



* An updated game engine, **ET: Legacy**, which aims to fix bugs and security exploits, remove old dependencies, add useful features and modernize its graphics while still remaining compatible with ET 2.60b and as many of its mods as possible.

* A new mod, **Legacy**, which aims to add many useful features and improvements while staying close to the original gameplay, as well as being lightweight and extensible through Lua scripts.



For more information consult our [wiki](https://github.com/etlegacy/etlegacy/wiki).



## CONTRIBUTING



See [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md).



## SECURITY POLICY



See [SECURITY](SECURITY.md).



## CERTIFICATE SIGNING



ET: Legacy Windows installers are now signed thx to [SignPath Foundation](https://signpath.org/)



## GENERAL NOTES



### Game data



Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is a free release, and can be downloaded from [Splash Damage](https://www.splashdamage.com/games/wolfenstein-enemy-territory/).



This source release contains only the engine and mod code but not any game data,

which is still covered by the original EULA and must be obeyed as usual.



In order to run ET: Legacy you will need to copy the original *pak0.pk3* assets file

to the etmain folder. In addition, third party mods might also require the *pak1.pk3*

and *pak2.pk3* assets files.



### Compatibility with Enemy Territory 2.60b



ET: Legacy remains compatible with the ET 2.60b version as much as possible.



Please note that ET: Legacy is *not* compatible with PunkBuster enabled servers.

ET: Legacy clients also cannot connect to servers running the ETPro mod.



### Linux 64 bit



Please remember that 64 bit ET: Legacy clients can only connect to servers running

mods providing a 64 bit version. You will be able to play 32 bit-only mods only if

you compile ET: Legacy on a 32 bit system or cross-compile it for 32 bit architecture

on a 64 bit system.



At the moment, only the ETrun, ETJump, N!tmod and Legacy mods are available in 64 bit version, while all other

existing mods are available in 32 bit only version. Read more on the [Compatible mods](https://github.com/etlegacy/etlegacy/wiki/Compatible-Mods) wiki page.



In case you are a running a 64 bit system, you probably might want to use the

**bundled libraries** which are located in a separate *etlegacy-libs* repository and

can be automatically downloaded using the `git submodule` command. See the next

section for more details.



## DEPENDENCIES



Required:

* **CMake** (compile-time only)

* **OpenGL**

* **GLEW**

* **SDL**

* **ZLib**

* **MiniZip**

* **libjpeg-turbo** or **libjpeg**



Optional, enabled by default:

* **libcurl**

* **WolfSSL** or **OpenSSL**

* **Lua**

* **Ogg Vorbis**

* **Theora**

* **Freetype**

* **libpng**

* **SQLite**

* **OpenAL**



Grab info about current lib versions from our [Libs Changelog](https://github.com/etlegacy/etlegacy/wiki/Libs-Changelog) wiki page.



To get the latest source code install [git](https://git-scm.com/) and

clone our repository hosted at [Github.com](https://github.com/etlegacy/etlegacy):



```sh

$ git clone [email protected]:etlegacy/etlegacy.git

```



If the required dependencies are not installed on your system run:



```sh

$ git submodule init

$ git submodule update

```



This downloads the essential dependencies into the `libs/`directory. You can choose

whether to use bundled libraries instead of the system ones by changing the

`BUNDLED_LIBS` variable in the CMakeList.txt configuration file. You can then select

which bundled libraries to use by toggling the respective `BUNDLED_XXX` variable.



## COMPILE AND INSTALL



To install the binaries system-wide, you need to compile ET: Legacy with hardcoded

`fs_basepath`.



The following variables can be adjusted in CMake:



  * **`INSTALL_DEFAULT_BASEDIR`**: sets default `fs_basepath`, i.e. where etl and etlded

    executables look for data files. In most cases it is `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`+`INSTALL_DEFAULT_MODDIR`.

    Defaults to empty value, because we want `fs_basepath` to be the current working directory

    when not installing the game system-wide.



  * (optional) **`INSTALL_DEFAULT_BINDIR`**: Location for executables. Appended to `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`.

    Defaults to `bin`.



  * (optional) **`INSTALL_DEFAULT_SHAREDIR`**: Location for shared data. Appended to `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`.

    Defaults to `share`.



  * (optional) **`INSTALL_DEFAULT_MODDIR`**: Location for libraries and paks. Appended to `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`.

    Defaults to `lib/etlegacy` and then `legacy` is appended to it.



  * (optional) **`DOCDIR`**: Location for documentation. Defaults to `INSTALL_DEFAULT_SHAREDIR/doc/etlegacy`.



### Linux



Install required dependencies.



* option A: **easybuild**



In terminal, run one of the following:



```sh

$ ./easybuild.sh        # for compiling a 32 bit version or

$ ./easybuild.sh -64    # for compiling a 64 bit version

```



ET: Legacy will be installed in `~/etlegacy`.



* option B: **command line**



In terminal, run:



```sh

$ mkdir build && cd build && cmake ..

```



To compile, run:



```sh

$ make

```



If you wish to install ET: Legacy system-wide, run:



```sh

$ make install

```



Be sure to set the CMake variables (see above) beforehand.



**NOTES:**



  * Even if you have a 64 bit linux distribution which provides 32 bit versions of all

  the required libraries, you might also need the development libraries (-devel packages)

  installed on your system.



  * In order to compile the jpeg-turbo library properly you will need the **nasm** assembler.



  * On some systems, CMake might have trouble locating 32-bit libraries and tries to use 64-bit ones when building 32-bit. This can be fixed by setting the following enviromental variables before running CMake (note: running easybuild takes care of this for you)



```sh

$ export CC="gcc -m32"

$ export CXX="g++ -m32"



# or simply run cmake with

$ CC="gcc -m32" CXX="g++ -m32" cmake ..

```



### Crosscompiling on Linux with MinGW-w64



In terminal, run:



```sh

$ mkdir build && cd build

$ cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/Toolchain-cross-mingw-linux.cmake ..

$ make

```



By default, MinGW name is set to **`i686-w64-mingw32`**. You may have to change it in

`cmake/Toolchain-cross-mingw-linux.cmake` depending on how it is called on your system.



### Windows



Install:



  1. [Visual Studio Community](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/) with the _Desktop Development with C++_ workload

  2. [CMake](https://cmake.org/) and make sure it is added to your system PATH



* option A: **easybuild**



    1. run easybuild.bat



ET: Legacy will be installed in `My Documents\ETLegacy-Build`.



* option B: **Visual Studio**



    1. create a `build` directory inside the directory which contains ET: Legacy sources

    2. open *Visual Studio Command Prompt* in the Start menu

    3. change directory with `cd` to the newly created build directory



In the command prompt, run:



```sh

$ cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -DBUNDLED_LIBS=YES .. && nmake

```



or



```sh

$ cmake -G "Visual Studio 16" -A Win32 -DBUNDLED_LIBS=YES .. # Visual Studio 2019

# or "Visual Studio 17" for Visual Studio 2022

```



and open the resulting project in Visual Studio.



**NOTES:**



  * If compilation of bundled libraries is aborted for any reason, you will probably need to clean the

  libs directory and start over. This can be done by executing `git clean -df && git reset --hard HEAD`

  inside `libs/` directory.



  * If the build fails during libcurl compilation because of missing *sed* utility, download it from

  [GnuWin](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/sed.htm) and place it into your system path or

  copy it into `MSVC/VC/bin`. It also comes with Git and can be placed into your system path

  automatically if you select that option during Git installation.



### macOS



Install:



1. Xcode:

 * At least a recent Version of Xcode Command Line Tools (Terminal -> `xcode-select --install`)

 * or a complete Xcode IDE (through App Store or https://developer.apple.com/xcode/downloads/)

2. Homebrew (https://brew.sh/)



Then brew the following packages in the terminal app:



```sh

# all compilation tools needed

$ brew install cmake autoconf nasm automake libtool



# Libraries if you do not wish to compile and use the provided sources (BUNDLED_LIBS)

$ brew install glew sdl2 minizip jpeg-turbo curl lua libogg libvorbis theora freetype libpng sqlite openal-soft

```



Alternative way to install the dependencies is to run

```sh

$ brew bundle

$ brew bundle --file=misc/macos/libs.Brewfile

```



Depending on what brew version you're using (mostly older ones), you have to specify `brew install --universal` to get both 32bit and 64bit libs. If it throws an error, just use the command listed above. Although your system curl library supports both architectures, you also need to install its headers.



* option A: **easybuild**



There are many flags and options provided by easybuild.sh. The ET: Legacy version you can compile depends on the used macOS version.



If you're running **up to macOS 10.14 (Mojave)**, use one the following flags in Terminal.app:



```sh

$ ./easybuild.sh        # for compiling a 32 bit version or

$ ./easybuild.sh -64    # for compiling a 64 bit version

```



This will put an 'etlegacy' folder with the selected arch into your user folder.



With **macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and above**, your only option is to compile and run a 64 bit client. Therefore you need to use the following flags:



```sh

$ ./easybuild.sh -64 --osx=10.15    #watch out for the double dash at --osx !

```



Take a look into easybuild.sh for more information and further options/flags.



* option B: **command line**



In terminal, run:



```sh

$ mkdir build && cd build && cmake ..

```



Look into easybuild.sh for all available CMake options.



To compile, run:



```sh

$ make

```



If you wish to install ET: Legacy system-wide, run:



```sh

$ make install

```



Be sure to set the CMake variables (see above) beforehand.



**NOTES**:



  * In the legacy mod folder, the cgame_mac and ui_mac files are redundant since they are in the 

  mod .pk3 and will be extracted at runtime, so you can delete those. The client is named "ET Legacy.app"

  (and can safely be renamed), while the dedicated server is just a command-line binary named "etlded".



### Raspberry Pi / Others that run on aarch64 architecture



ET: Legacy supports both OpenGL and OpenGL ES.



**Required Devices**



RPI 4+ (64bit Operating System) or any that runs aarch64 arch



**Required dependencies**



```sh

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libfreeimage-dev libopenal-dev libpango1.0-dev libsndfile-dev libudev-dev \

libasound2-dev libjpeg8-dev libwebp-dev automake libgl1-mesa-glx libjpeg62-turbo libogg0 libopenal1 libvorbis0a \
