RTCWQuest

Welcome to the one and only fully wireless 6DoF implementation of the Return to Castle Wolfenstein single player campaign in VR.

This is built solely for the Oculus Quest VR HMD and will not run on any other device.

The easiest way to install this on your Quest is using SideQuest, a Desktop app designed to simplify sideloading apps and games ( even beat saber songs on quest ) on Standalone Android Headsets like Oculus Quest and Oculus Go. It supports drag and drop for installing APK files!

Download SideQuest here: https://github.com/the-expanse/SideQuest/releases

IMPORTANT NOTE

This is just an engine port; though the apk does contain the DEMO version of RTCW, not the full game. If you wish to play the full game you must purchase it yourself, steam is most straightforward: [STEAM LINK]

Copying the Full Game PAK files to your Oculus Quest

Copy the PAK files from the installed RTCW game folder on your PC to the /RTCWQuest/Main folder on your Oculus Quest when it is connected to the PC. You have to have run RTCWQuest at least once for the folder to be created and if you don't see it when you connect your Quest to the PC you might have to restart the Quest.

Caveats

WARNING: There is a good chance that unless you have your VR-legs this will probably make you feel a bit sick. The moment you start to feel under the weather YOU MUST STOP PLAYING for a good period of time before you try again. I will not be held responsible for anyone making themselves ill.

Configuration

There are plenty of options available in the controls configuration menu. Be sure to check them out.

Smooth Turning

To enable smooth turning, simply set the snap turn value to very low, try a few values out to find one that suits you.

Teleport

Once teleport has been enabled in the config menu, you can press the off-hand trigger to activate the teleport, aim with the offhand controller to the desired location and release the trigger to teleport, normal locomotion is still available too, though if you wish to turn that off then you can reduce the movement speed to zero in the configuration menu. NOTE: There is nothing to stop you cheating with the teleport

Laser Sight

If you really want to, you can enable a laser sight in the controls menu.

Height Adjust

Player height can be adjusted for those that wish to play seated.

Weapon Specific Controls

Sniper Scopes

The FG42 and the Mauser can have their scopes toggled on and off by using the weapon alt mode (note the scoped Mauser is only available once the scope has been picked up in the game). When the scope is attached, to trigger the scoped view, ensure you are holding the weapon in two hands (use off-hand grip button) and then look through the scope on the weapon, this will switch you to scope mode:

• Move the controllers like you would when looking through the scope to aim by moving the weapon
• Use the dominant thumb stick forward / back to zoom in / out
• When using the scope you will move at 1/3 normal speed
• Thumbstick Turning is disabled when the scope is active
• Release the off hand grip or move the dominant controller away from your face to exit scoped mode

Knife

There is no fire button, simply stab with it or swing it to use it like a knife.

Grenades / Pineapples / Dynamite

These are all throwable. Hold the trigger and then throw the item, releasing the trigger at the apex of the throw.

Mounted Guns (MG42)

Mounted guns are aimed using gaze direction, pull trigger to fire, press "activate" to enter/exit mounted gun mode.

Backpack

There is a handy backpack feature which acts as a quick access to certain weapons/pickups. To access the backpack move the controller out of sight over your shoulder. Press and hold one of the following buttons to access the associated items:

Dominant Hand Controller

• A (or X for left handed) - Knife (useful to quickly smash up stuff or stab)
• B (or Y for left handed) - Binoculars (once you have picked them up in game), raise them to your face to look through them, pull trigger to zoom in/out
• Grip button - Grenades / Dynamite - You can then throw them in the usual manner using the trigger

Release the button to return to the previously active weapon

Off Hand Controller

• X (or A for left handed) - Quick Save Game
• Y (or B for left handed) - Load Last Quick Save

Building:

You need the following:

• Android Developer Studio
• Latest Android Native Development Kit
• Oculus Mobile SDK 1.30.0
• The RTCWQuest folder cloned from GitHub should be below VrSamples in the extracted SDK
• Create a local.properties file in the root of the extracted Oculus Mobile SDK that contains the ndk.dir and sdk.dir properties for where your SDK/NDK are located (see Gradle documentation regarding this)
• To build debug you will need a android.debug.keystore file placed in the following folder: _oculus_sdkdir/VrSamples/RTCWQuest/Projects/Android
