I've decided to revisit the id Software games and created some updated patches with as much out of the box features as possible. All of the patches have been thoroughly tested on an Ubuntu 14.04 and Linux Mint 17 installations with the closed source Nvidia drivers (Should also work with AMD & Intel GPUs), you are not required to install any dependencies before hand either.
DRM-Free: These patches are built from open source code and can be perfectly ran offline in your bunker (wouldn't be posting this even they were not). :-)
Unfortunately Steam is the best choice right now, it's also the version they have been tested on (unless noted), CD/DVD versions will work too but I haven't tried those.
1) Doom 3 & Resurrection of Evil Expansion (NOT BFG Edition): http://store.steampowered.com/app/9050/
2) Return to Castle Wolfenstein: http://store.steampowered.com/app/9010/
Installation of patches - extract the archive in the game's folder (overwrite/replace anything if asked) and run the 'start.sh' file, it's simple as that.
Doom 3:
32Bit Download Link: doom3-linux-1.3.1.1304.x86.tar.xz
64Bit Download Link: doom3-linux-1.3.1.1304.x86_64.tar.xz
Known Issues:
- None
~ Return to Castle Wolfenstein:
32Bit Download Link: iortcw-1.42b-linux-x86.tar.xz
64Bit Download Link: iortcw-1.42b-linux-x86_64.tar.xz
Known Issues:
- Due to incompatibilities with the Ubuntu Unity desktop environment, the game cannot be launched in full screen, the closest you'll get at full screen is something like this.
Launch the game once to generate the settings file, you'll get a black screen and hit Alt+F4 to close it, now go to your home folder > enable "show hidden files" > open ".wolf/main/wolfconfig.cfg", edit out these 3 lines:
seta r_allowResize from "0" to "1"
seta r_noborder from "0" to "1"
seta r_fullscreen must be "0"
Should you have any questions please ask. :-)

Didn't port it myself, I simply packed it so it's easy to install for everyone, but thanks. Glad to hear it's working well for you. :-)
