This page contains notes for the game Rise of the Triad (1994).

Source Code

The game's (v1.3) source code was released in 2002 under the GPL, and can be found here at 3D Realms.

Version to compile

One of the things about the source code is several defines in C are present to determine which version of the game will be compiled.

This can be found in the file DEVELOP.H of the Rise of the Triad source release.

#define DELUXE      0
#define LOWCOST     0

// Make sure only one of the following are on at one time

#define SHAREWARE   0
#define SUPERROTT   1
#define SITELICENSE 0

This reflects the fact there were many versions of the game:

  • Shareware Versions:
    • Shareware regular (DELUXE set to 0, SHAREWARE set to 1) - the most common version of the game
    • Shareware deluxe (DELUXE set to 1, SHAREWARE set to 1) - had more levels than the standard shareware
  • Registered versions:
    • Registered version (SUPERROTT set to 1 only) - Registered version of the game
    • Site-License version (SITELICENSE set to 1 only) - a pack of 11 ROTT games for a LAN, included more levelsets for multiplayer.
