Bug#788057: game-data-packager: please add support for Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold and Planet Strike

[Fabian Greffrath]

Package: game-data-packager
Version: 41
Severity: wishlist

Hi Alexandre and Simon,

Blake Stone is a series of two nice FPS from the 1994 era based on a
modified Wolf3d engine. The source code to this engine has currently
been released to the public [1] and first source ports have already
emerged [2].

I seriously consider packaging ECWolf [3], which is a very advanced source
port of the Wolf3d engine with support for all of Wolf3d, SOD and even
Noah's Ark 3D in one binary. I have just contacted the author of
ECWolf and he told me that adding support for the Blake Stone games is
a work in progres. So, once this is ready, it would be very helpful if
g-d-p could already support packaging the corresponding game data for
the Blake Stone games.

Thanks!

Fabian
