I wasn't expecting it to actually work either. But it installed some exes (I guess?), tried to run one and it said I need the data of course. But then it told me what files to put where so I'll try that and give it another go. 

I got the thing installed with my pak files after much shenanigans. I think it's right but fucks knows what is going on with this crazy-ass setup.

I think the game is trying to run but it's dying with this error:

QUAKE ERROR: Couldn't set video mode

Arse biscuits! 

Maybe if you re-install the video driver it will fix it?

Reminder: Copying downloaded files manually on Linux STILL WORKS despite everybody telling you to sudo apt-get something. Incredible, I know.

Put pakfiles and Linux quake client in the same file structure as you would on Windows, eg in your home folder. Install libSDL stuff via software center if needed (DP and FTE have Linux binaries that don't need SDL at all).

apt-get is the equivalent of prepackaged installers on Windows. If you don't use an installer to play Quake under Windows, chances are you don't need apt-get under Linux.

Video drivers supplied by companies are usually recommended over their free alternatives. It might not matter for Quake though. 

reminder: raspberry pi is ARMv6, I am not aware of any common engine providing binaries for that.

why would you recommend not using package management to stay up-to-date and also have binaries installed in your PATH right away? package management is one of the main benefits of Linux for random people. 

Awesome that raspbian has quakespasm. I should try to get things going on my pandaboard at some point. 

Goes right over my head... 

I got Quake 3 running, the frame rate was pretty much why bother land, and I had no sound of course, but still, that was nice. It would probably run faster if I launched it from the command line rather than the GUI yeah? Since this is linux we're talking about I imagine I'd have to rewrite my sound drivers in assembler and make my own custom firmware after soldering something to the circuit board of this thing.

No success with Quake, I'm sure it would be easy to set up for the Gurus but since I have no idea what I'm doing I hit a wall. I'll try again later.

Next I'll try Raspbmc, if I can get that going I suppose that'll be something actually useful I can do with this thing:

That page also says expect to wait 4-5 weeks for your pi. That's pretty funny! I ordered mine in April and only just got it now! 

https://igurublog.wordpress.com/2012/11/05/gnome-et-al-rotting-in-threes/ is great 

 

Yeah - the Gnome project is a bit of a worry. But at least KDE 4 is a solid thing now. 

5:13 - 'Fusion;

5:23 - Isn't that your texture!?

yes, that is footage from Cube, which used some of the original rubicon textures (with permission) 

anyone got any scraps? 

 

... still might do something with em, one day.
Plus they were built in WC 3.3, so there are texture allignment issues when opened in 1.6, perhaps? I kind of forget what that situation is. 

I use 3.3, so it won't be a problem either way. 1.6 is so limited in comparison, I'd be mapping at half speed or less if I used that.

PS I looked at your previous scraps some of which were used for the best temple map ever Egyptian Rhapsody. couldn't use anything out of there though, since there wasn't any theme matchup. 

For such a mapper like you, is hard to have proper scraps tronyn 

Here's some wooden stairs if you really really want them... :P Probably never going to use them. 

That's really well done... I can even imagine the wood cracking on each feet when walking on.. :)
