Warnings

The macOS (OS X) version of this game needs a fix to work on macOS Catalina (version 10.15) or later (see API for details).

For the enhanced version, see Shadow Warrior Classic Redux. For the reboot, see Shadow Warrior (2013).

Shadow Warrior (1997) is a singleplayer and multiplayer first-person action, FPS and shooter game in the Shadow Warrior series.

The game's source code was released in 2005. The game was also released as freeware in 2016.^[3]

Version differences

Uniquely, the shareware version of the game used MIDI tracks instead of CD Redbook audio in order to keep the download size small.

The European release of Shadow Warrior had the shurikens (throwing stars) replaced with darts due to their heavy usage in organized crime and gang activity at the time. As the ban on said content was later nulled, a patch to uncensor the game was later released. All digital releases are uncensored.

There is a patch for the uncensored release that re-censores it here. A batch file is used for toggling it on and off. For the GOG release, it is required to edit the bat files or the autoexec section of dosbox_swarrior_single.conf to apply it to Twin Dragon as well.

Digital version differences

Shadow Warrior Classic (1997) - Steam

Free to play version of the game, published by Devolver Digital. It comes packaged with DOSBox and the base game, it's also the only version of the game that includes the Shadow Warrior's prototypes.

DLC and expansion packs

Name	Notes
Twin Dragon	Freeware, can be downloaded here
Wanton Destruction	Freeware, can be downloaded here Additional cut levels for the add-on can be downloaded here

A third addon named Deadly Kiss, developed by Simply Silly Software was never released. However a restoration project is in the works. Until that is finished, the 2010 assets and a compiled build with several maps are available in their unfinished state.

Essential improvements

DOSBox

Improve performance in DOSBox

Edit DOSBox's configuration file
Change `output=surface` to `output=openglnb`. Change `memsize=16` to `memsize=63`. Change `core=normal` to `core=dynamic`. Change `cycles=auto` to `cycles=max`. Change `aspect=false` to `aspect=true`. Change `fullresolution=original` to `fullresolution=0x0`. Change `machine=svga_s3` to `machine=vesa_nolfb` if flickering occurs when running at resolutions higher than 320x200.

Patches

1.2 patch for the base game.
Wanton Destruction fix - Fixes oversights that caused minibosses to not spawn on easier difficulties.
Twin Dragon
- Warehouse level fix - Fixes an oversight that caused a secret to be inaccessible on easier difficulties.
- The Garden level fix - Fixes the level exit.

bMouse

bMouse is a DOS extension which improves mouse looking by removing the mouse filter which causes issues related to both axis not updating properly.

bMouse will cause the vertical aiming to be inverted. To fix this, go to the Setup Advanced Control Options from Control Setup, then at Advanced Mouse Setup change the Mouse Y Scale to negative number.

DOS/32A

DOS/32A is a more advanced extender and open source replacement to DOS4GW. It can improve both performance and stability of Shadow Warrior.

Source ports

Name	Description
VoidSW	Source port distributed alongside EDuke32, currently in public beta. OS X and Linux versions must be built from source.
BuildGDX	Source port based on libGDX framework for Java. Adds high resolutions support, OpenGL renderer, improved mouse controls, and fixes for the original game bugs. Can run official addons and custom made campaings straight from the main menu without the need to use installers or replace any original files. Discontinued.
NuBuildGDX	Fork of BuildGDX aiming for stability, bug fixing and performance improvements.
Raze	Fork of VoidSW and SWP to GZDoom architecture. Also supports Blood, Redneck Rampage and Powerslave/Exhumed.
JFSW	Allows for OpenGL rendering. Supports high resolution textures.
SWP	Offers limited widescreen support (16:10 aspect ratio only), anisotropic filtering and Vsync.

Issues fixed

Twin Dragon uses its own copy of SW.CFG (GOG.com)

Twin Dragon normally overwrites the original second episode. GOG.com worked around this issue by making a duplicate installation dedicated to Twin Dragon. However, settings changes made to the base game do not carry over the addon automatically.

Automate configuration file copy^[6]

Open dosbox_swarrior_single.conf
Under :dragon, add the following lines betwen #tdragon.exe and cls.

#sync shadow warrior configuration
@copy ..\SW.CFG

Additionally it is possible to keep saves synced between the two installations by adding COPY C:\*.SAV C:\dragon\ between SW.EXE and COPY C:\dragon\*.SAV C:\.

Game loses binds (GOG.com)

Both vanilla and Wanton Destruction executables refresh new copies of themselves with each run (Twin Dragon is unaffected by this issue). This imitates the functionality of the Wanton.exe utility included with the DLC but unfortunately causes an issue with using DOS32A's binding method as any modification to the executables will be reverted on the next run.

Bind DOS32A to the executables^[7]

Go to <path-to-game> and delete the main SW.EXE (not Twin Dragon's SW.EXE).
Copy wanton.dat and sw.dat to a new folder and rename them to Wanton.EXE and SW.EXE.
For online play, it is required to copy Setmain.exe to this folder as well.
With DOSBox, bind both files with DOS32A's sb /r command.
Restore their original .dat extensions and move them back to their original folders.
Open dosbox_swarrior_single.conf and under the :wanton section, add @COPY sw.dat sw.exe under sw.exe.

Attempting to bind DOS32A directly to the Wanton and SW dat files shows mixed results and may not work for everyone as the bind utility does not like files that don't have the .exe extension.

Since most of Twin Dragon's files are duplicates of the vanilla files, setmain.exe is exactly the same for both and can merely be copied over to Twin Dragon's directory after binding. This however should not be done to Twin Dragon's sw.exe as it differs from the vanilla version and thus should be bound separately.

Launch the game via DOS32A^{[citation needed]}

Make sure DOS32A is copied into the Shadow Warrior folder. Also revert any changes made with the last method (can be done this with the Verify/Repair option in GOG Galaxy).

Start Shadow Warrior with DOS/32A by using the command DOS32A followed by the executable name, i.e. SW.EXE for vanilla.
Edit these commands into the game's configuration file.
- For Twin Dragon, use the command C:\DOS32A instead, specifying DOS32A's location (root folder).

Re-enable music in Twin Dragon

Because of financial issues, developer decided to ship Twin Dragon without its music track.^[8] Unfortunately, they also disabled the music completely in the process.

Use a patched executable^[9]
Download this and extract the archive in `<path-to-game>`. Overwrite the original `sw.exe` or make a backup copy of it.

Can't disable slope-tilting

+==Issues fixed==
+===Twin Dragon uses its own copy of SW.CFG (GOG.com)===
+{{--}} Twin Dragon normally overwrites the original second episode. GOG.com worked around this issue by making a duplicate installation dedicated to Twin Dragon. However, settings changes made to the base game do not carry over the addon automatically.
+{{Fixbox|description=Automate configuration file copy|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.gog.com/forum/shadow_warrior_series/twin_dragon_does_net_use_the_main_cfg_file_and_your_configurations_are_lost|title=gog.com|date=May 2023}}</ref>|fix=
+# Open {{file|dosbox_swarrior_single.conf}}
+# Under <code>:dragon</code>, add the following lines betwen <code>#tdragon.exe</code> and <code>cls</code>.
+<pre>
+#sync shadow warrior configuration
+@copy ..\SW.CFG
+</pre>
+{{ii}} Additionally it is possible to keep saves synced between the two installations by adding <code>COPY C:\*.SAV C:\dragon\</code> between <code>SW.EXE</code> and <code>COPY C:\dragon\*.SAV C:\</code>.
+}}
+===Game loses binds (GOG.com)===
+{{ii}} Both vanilla and Wanton Destruction executables refresh new copies of themselves with each run (Twin Dragon is unaffected by this issue). This imitates the functionality of the Wanton.exe utility included with the DLC but unfortunately causes an issue with using DOS32A's binding method as any modification to the executables will be reverted on the next run.
+{{Fixbox|description=Bind DOS32A to the executables|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.gog.com/forum/shadow_warrior_series/stability_issues|title=gog.com|date=May 2023}}</ref>|fix=
+# Go to {{file|{{p|game}}|folder}} and delete the '''main''' {{file|SW.EXE}} (not '''Twin Dragon's''' {{file|SW.EXE}}).
+# Copy {{file|wanton.dat}} and {{file|sw.dat}} to a new folder and rename them to {{file|Wanton.EXE}} and {{file|SW.EXE}}.
+# For online play, it is required to copy {{file|Setmain.exe}} to this folder as well.
+# With DOSBox, bind both files with DOS32A's <code>sb /r</code> command.
+# Restore their original <code>.dat</code> extensions and move them back to their original folders.
+# Open {{file|dosbox_swarrior_single.conf}} and under the <code>:wanton</code> section, add <code>@COPY sw.dat sw.exe</code> under <code>sw.exe</code>.
+{{ii}} Attempting to bind DOS32A directly to the Wanton and SW dat files shows mixed results and may not work for everyone as the bind utility does not like files that don't have the .exe extension.
+{{ii}} Since most of Twin Dragon's files are duplicates of the vanilla files, {{file|setmain.exe}} is exactly the same for both and can merely be copied over to Twin Dragon's directory after binding. This however should '''not''' be done to Twin Dragon's {{file|sw.exe}} as it differs from the vanilla version and thus should be bound separately.
+}}
+{{Fixbox|description=Launch the game via DOS32A|ref={{CN|date=September 2017}}|fix=
+{{ii}} Make sure DOS32A is copied into the Shadow Warrior folder. Also revert any changes made with the last method (can be done this with the '''Verify/Repair''' option in GOG Galaxy).
+# Start Shadow Warrior with DOS/32A by using the command <code>DOS32A</code> followed by the executable name, i.e. <code>SW.EXE</code> for vanilla.
+# Edit these commands into the game's configuration file.
+#* For Twin Dragon, use the command <code>C:\DOS32A</code> instead, specifying DOS32A's location (root folder).
+}}
+===Re-enable music in Twin Dragon===
+{{ii}} Because of financial issues, developer decided to ship Twin Dragon without its music track.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.gog.com/forum/shadow_warrior_series/twin_dragon_exclusive_music_missing|title=gog.com|date=May 2023}}</ref> Unfortunately, they also disabled the music completely in the process.
