💥 WOLFSP(6) 💥

ok so this is wolfsp, from the Games Manual section of your local man pages, and bestie it is literally the single-player girlie of the family. sit down, grab a snack 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

wolfsp — Return to Castle Wolfenstein single-player 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

wolfsp [-h|--help] [-q|--quiet] [+set option value]...  [+command] ...

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

ok so wolfsp runs the single-player version of the first-person shooter Return to Castle Wolfenstein. that's it. that's the whole vibe. you point it at a Wolfenstein and it goes 🐺💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

the wrapper script used for RTCW in Debian accepts these options, and honestly? iconic of it:

  • -h, --help — Display a short help summary 🫶
  • -q, --quiet — Disable all output. shhh. not a peep. 🤫

any console command can also be prefixed with + and used as a command-line option (press Shift+Esc to access the in-game console, iykyk), including:

  • +set option value — Set an option (see below for some options ✨)

Options that can be set with +set (note that this is not a full list! — the manpage literally says so, don't come for me 🙈) include:

  • r_fullscreen <bool> — 1: Play in fullscreen mode; 0: Play in window mode. pick your fighter 🥊
  • r_mode <num> — Sets the screen resolution mode. Set num to -1 to use a customized resolution set via r_customheight and r_customwidth, or -2 to use your normal desktop resolution. very main character energy, very "I know what I want" ✨
  • r_customwidth <pixels> — Use pixels as width if r_mode is set to -1.
  • r_customheight <pixels> — Use pixels as height if r_mode is set to -1.
fr fr: r_customwidth and r_customheight only do anything when r_mode is -1. otherwise they're just sitting there. cute but unemployed 💀

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • ~/.wolf/main — Configuration and state for RTCW 💖

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

the wrapper script used to launch RTCW allows it to be debugged by setting environment variables. yes, you can snoop on it. we love a transparent queen 🌈

  • RTCW_DEBUGGER=command — A debugger or other prefix to prepend to the RTCW command line, such as strace; overridden by RTCW_BACKTRACE ⭐
  • RTCW_BACKTRACE=1 — Use gdb(1) to get a backtrace if RTCW crashes (the gdb package must be installed for this to work) 😭
heads up bestie: RTCW_BACKTRACE wins over RTCW_DEBUGGER. and no gdb package = no backtrace. sad but true 💔
