Build Info

git clone https://bitbucket.org/ecwolf/ecwolf/src/master/ cmake master -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release make

Install Info

move ecwolf and ecwolf.pk3 to the install data directory

Additional information

ecwolf engine recognizes the following file extensions as different content, and offers a pop-up asking what you'd like to play if you have multiple missions in the same folder (Spear of Destiny)

wl6 - Wolfenstein 3D sod - Spear of Destiny sd2 - Spear of Destiny - Mission Pack 1 sd3 - Spear of Destiny - Mission Pack 2 n3d - Super Noah's Ark 3D

Running ./ecwolf in a directory with files with the wl6 will load the original Wolfenstein 3D

Blake Stone and Rise of the Triad works in a similar same way

Is there a non-retroarch source repository for this engine?

[edit] Looks like this would work: https://bitbucket.org/ecwolf/ecwolf/src/master/

Can you update your ticket to match? We don't want to use a libretro-based port

Also related, it'd help if you had the commands to launch each of these games with this engine.

./ecwolf in the same directory as the data files. The engine looks for a known game extension and creates a game selection prompt.

[d10sfan]

What does the game selection prompt do? We normally try to go directly in the game, unless this prompt has additional help (such as configuration).

[Frenzied-Pop]

In the Spear of Destiny folder it asks you what mission pack do you want to play. You get the option to make that mission pack the default, and to skip the mission select pop-up altogether. The other games are separate (i.e. Noah is it's own install) so you'd never see the prompt. Updated the original entry with the working directories.

Only tested with the original game. If you have any issues with the others, let me know.
