The original Laz Rojas MacWolf scenario, ported to ECWolf. This version requires Wolfenstein 3D 1.4 and the latest development version of ECWolf. (Updated 12/03/18)
ASTROSTEIN Mac Version Quick-Fix for ECWolf (PC Compatibility Patch)
Original Version by Laz Rojas
Fix by Sam Feichter (AstroCreep)
Version 1.0
6/27/2015
This is a quick fix for Astrostein (Mac Version) for ECWolf.
This quick fix includes some placeholder graphics, as well
as the shim to get the mac version working properly.
It also includes the sounds, which originally had to be
pasted into a copy of the MacWolf binary, which will not work with
ECWolf without replacing wolf3d.bin. This essentially just
makes the mod playable and fixes a few out of place gfx (not all).
This version is slightly different, as it includes a few more files to
achieve compatibility with the PC version of Wolfenstein 3D!
This is kind of a big deal, since (as far as I can tell) this is the ONLY
mod to achieve cross compatibility with both the Mac and PC versions of
Wolfenstein! (Even if it's only slightly - the fact that you can literally just
change a few things and load original Mac assets with the PC version is amazing.
Thanks Blzut3!) This will still require the dev versions, as it heavily relies
on the Mac decorate codes, xlat, and ability to load Mac scenarios.
DIFFERENCES FROM ORIGINAL
Menu graphics adapted from WolfenDOOM Version of Astrostein, Wolf 3D, and the ECWolf Tech Demo by Executor.
Includes fonts from Tech Demo by Executor
Includes updated MacWolf title track (ogg format. rest aren't included since original has custom music which I haven't figured out how to access yet)
This is only a temporary build, as this is designed for the crippled version currently
being run by the dev versions of ECWolf. As such, this WILL NOT WORK with the official releases yet, only the dev versions
which support MacWolf. Dev versions can be found at Devbuilds.drdteam.org
This also includes the original Astrostein mod needed to run this fix, already
MacBinary'd up.
TO RUN:
Extract ZIP file
Drag and drop "Astrostein.bin" and "astrostein_fix_PC.pk3" onto the ecwolf executable
OR
run "ecwolf --file Astrostein.bin astrostein_fix_PC.pk3"
This may be a side effect of my old ass computer but I have noticed
a slight lag while playing Astrostein. I haven't experienced it with any
other mod except the mac version of the Astrostein mods, so I
assume that it is the large amount of custom assets in the original file.
