Hi Ron, great to see you posting at "Splatterladder", welcome to the website .


This is our main thread for all "RtCW" news, I've merged your post with this one .

Thanks, Gman.


Eugeny Panikarowsky has continued his work with remaking the Rtcw: Tides of War (Egyptian prequel) maps! Check out this forum post for the screenshots: https://forums.splashdamage.com/t/tides-of-...3433/3?u=ronboy

Here is a walkthrough video of the work that's been done thus far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p54Fc2O8xNw

Eugeny is a very talented bloke, his work is always really good. Thanks for sharing the update, Ron .

HellBaron has released another new version of the Rtcw Venom Mod, version 6.0!

Download link: https://www.moddb.com/mods/rtcw-venom-mod/d...w-venom-mod-v60

Download link for NVIDIA users: https://www.moddb.com/mods/rtcw-venom-mod/d...v60-nvidia-only

I have to admit that I find it confusing at times as to when and what has actually been released in relation to "RtCW Venom Mod", Ron. There's never a version such as, "RtCW Venom Mod 6.1", or something like that and never any release notes either, explaining what exactly has been changed from the last update .

The reason I'm saying this, amigo, is because we've already advertised version 6.0, just a little while ago: Venom Mod 6.0

I've gone to "ModDB" and checked things out, Ron. I've found some small update information and I can see from the file download that this is actually version 6.3 .

There's actually been quite a few updates in version 6, over a period of time. I think we'll highlight them all in the next advertisement.

Thanks for the update, Ron .

My mistake, thanks for the correction. You see, the file's title said Rtcw Venom Mod 6.0, so I thought that was the correct version number.

I've done that a couple of times too, Ron. I've visited "ModDB" and my notifications tell me that there's been 2 updates to "RtCW Venom Mod", so I go there and check it out and don't see anything, just the "same" 6.0 version. However, it's not the same, it had actually been updated and I missed it .

From now on, mate, when I visit there, I'll just check these two entries:




Once you finally realise how straightforward it is to spot if there's a new update or not, you think to yourself, "How the hell did I miss that, first time round?" ...

Thanks for the advice, Gman.




Skuzzy (Matthew Weichold) has created a new website for Rtcw mappers! Whether you’re an SP or an MP mapper, these tutorials may be useful to you, especially if you’re a beginner.

Website link: https://www.rtcw-mapping.com/

Note that more tutorials are scheduled to be released later; keep checking this website if you think that it will be useful to you.

This looks great, Ron, I'm sure there will be plenty of folk with an interest in this excellent new website .

Hey Ron, I've been testing different textures for my "RtCW HD" pack, what do you think of this castle wall with snow effect?







I'm wondering whether to go with this or just have a snow outline at the base of the wall instead ?

The walls themselves look fine, but the snow effect needs work. My suggestion is to keep playing around with it for now.

Yep, I'm still working on it, mate .

In the meantime, here's a screenshot update from Hellbaron on "RtCW Venom Mod 6.4" :

Understood. Those screenshots look great, and he just released the new version today.

Thanks for the news update, Ron .

No problem.


Loffy has uploaded 3 tutorial videos for new Rtcw SP mappers! All of the videos have English commentary. You can watch them below.

Part 1:

Part 2:

Part 3:

That's great news, Ron, I'm looking forward to watching these map-making videos from Loffy.

Thanks for the update, amigo .

Indeed, it's great news. If there’s one thing that the Rtcw community could use more of, it’s tutorials that aren’t outdated.


Skuzzy (Matthew Weichold) will be moving the tutorials from the website link that I posted above to a new forum! Here’s the link, and feel free to register: http://www.rtcw-mapping.net/

A brand new map-making forum for "Return to Castle Wolfenstein", things just keep getting better for our dear ol' game .

I'll check out the new website, thanks for the info, Ron .

You're welcome as always. Those who say that Rtcw is dead have no clue about the truth.


Yo$hik has released an RtcwCoop version of the Rtcw SP addon called Stalingrad! You can download it here: https://www.4shared.com/zip/o38vaiipgm/coop_Stalingrad.html

I saw where this new release was posted on WolfFiles, but the link doesn't work for me. I get this error on Firefox and another error on Google Chrome.

That's really strange, Ron, it works fine for me, I use "Firefox":




I wonder why you're getting that error, mate?

Did you manage to resolve that download problem at "Wolffiles", Ron?


Here's some updated screenshots from my "RtCW HD" pack, mate :

I changed two of the main folders in "RtCW" again in order to use better HD textures than I had originally. The results have been very good :

A few more update screenshots :

The download works fine for me. Apparently the link that I got on another forum was just a bad link, so nevermind that.

Awesome HD texture work, Gman. Keep it up!

Thanks, mate, I'm glad you like it. The texture pack for "RtCW" is bigger than the one for "Wolf: ET", but I'm getting there.

Yo$hik has just released two really good "RtCW" videos. The first one highlights 19 abandoned mapping projects and the second video showcases 10 projects still in development.

Enjoy the presentations :

As usual, Yo$hik has made some nice videos that showcase interesting and also important information for the community to see.



A Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory single player mode is in development by William from 85 Productions, the same author of the Rtcw SP mod called The Dark Army!

Reveal Trailer:
Official Mod DB Page: https://www.moddb.com/mods/et

This is incredible news! Finally, we might get to play the missing SP mode of Wolf ET.

I was amazed when I saw that video, Ron, I'm really looking forward to playing it .

Have you seen this before, mate, 'Return to Castle Wolfenstein' ported Onto 'PS Vita'?

I don't know if many of us are aware of the excellent website, 'Lone Bullet', but it's definitely worth mentioning. It has many resources there for 'Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory' and 'Return to Castle Wolfenstein' too.

Here's a couple of links to the files hosted on their website:

1] Return to Castle Wolfenstein

2] Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory

Nope, I've never seen that before, same with that Lone Bullet website you posted above. It's great to see a variety of resources that are still available for these old but awesome games.

Here's a screenshot update from my 'RtCW' HD Pack :

Those textures look nice and atmospheric. My only concern is on those final 2 screenshots, where the engraving on the walls appears to be a German soldier holding a rifle. I don't think such a thing would be found on an ancient crypt wall engraving.




While my Castle Wewelsburg mod for Rtcw SP is temporarily stopped, I have something much smaller planned! Please take the time to read this article: https://www.moddb.com/members/ronboy/blogs/...ive-but-on-hold

The way I'm looking at it, Ron, is the way I always do, in respects to 'Return to Castle Wolfenstein' singleplayer and that's from a 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' perspective. I always see the German troops moving into enemy territory, completely taking it over with all their flags, banners, posters and even their own architecture. They build on what's already there and make it their own .





Great article, mate, I can't wait to receive our 'RtCW' Christmas present from you .

Here's a screenshot update from the Splatterladder RtCW HD Pack, it will be released very soon :

Very nice work, Gman.

Thanks, mate, here's a screenshot from Dialog's 'RtCW Enemy Castle', it looks pretty good with the HD Texture Pack :

You're welcome and nice screenshot. My only complaint is the backwards swastika on the flag, but that's probably an error that the mapper (Dialog) would have to correct.

Yep, Dialog would need to fix that, mate, I'm sure I read a post on 'SplashDamage' that had info' on how to fix that problem .

Sorry for the late reply, computer problems strike again .

While I'm waiting for this damn computer to be fixed, I thought I'd share a few screenshots of how 'RtCW SP' looks with basic settings, (1280x1024), in conjunction with the 'Splatterladder RtCW HD Pack' :

Nice screenshots, Gman. I like the re-texturing that you did with the models in addition to the regular textures. Good luck with your PC issues too.

Thanks, matey, I'll hopefully be properly back online by the end of this week .

We'll soon have the opportunity to download 'RealRtCW 3.0' and a new screenshots has been released by Wolfetplayer, highlighting the new installer set up :




This excellent addition to the mod provides players with every option available .

Yo$hik has uploaded an excellent video featuring the classic 'RtCW SP' mission entitled, 'Pharoh's Curse'.

He's combined several mods in order to create this superb effect, enjoy the video :

Here's a really good video which highlights all the excellent weapons available in 'RealRtCW 3.0' :

That's the question that Wolfetplayer, the creator of 'RealRtCW', is asking over on 'ModDB', folks.

Here's a video of an older 'Wolf:ET' mod, entitled 'FalckonET', that gives us an idea of what it might look like: ADS Demo

The discussion is taking place here on ModDB you don't have to be a registered member in order to post a comment .

Hello folks,

I was over on the 'SplashDamage' forums, in the 'RtCW' mapping section, where I saw a post from the superb 'RtCW' mapper, Dialog.

He's been trying to fix this error for over a month and I was wondering if you'd know how to help him with it, please?

Here's a screenshot of the error:


You can post your 'fix' ideas here or contact Dialog directly, over on his Youtube Channel HERE

Yoshik has managed to port the model of Wilhelm Strasse's hunting dog, from the 'xbox' version of 'Return to Castle Wolfenstein', for use in the 'pc' version of the game :

Vicpas has released two videos that showcase unfinished maps for 'Return to Castle Wolfenstein' singleplayer :

These maps were made for an 'RtCW' addon called, 'Blood Sunrise'


An 'RtCW' map made by Nexus, now renamed to 'Tower2'

With 'RealRtCW' being made available on the 'Steam' platform, the new training level has been updated and it's looking rather good :
