{HELP} windows copy on linux

[LANKe]

I was recently robbed, and they took both on my windows computers. It will be a few weeks till I get a new computer through insurance, so I need some help in order to play quake 3. I want to run a windows/mac copy of quake 3 on a linux computer. They didn't steal this computer, because I only used it for a server, so they probably didn't see it. I know there is a way to get the linux version of quake 3 to run on a windows computer, is there anyway to reverse this?

Easy. Download and run the Windows installer from iD's FTP site and you are set. You'll still need the pak0.pk3 file from your CD, though,

[LANKe]

I'm a bit confused. I want to play quake 3 on linux with a windows version of the game. I've never used linux before, except to set up a server.

[^misantropia^]

Ah sorry, misread your question. The same principle still applies though: download the (linux) installer from iD and run it. You'll need to manually copy the pak0.pk3 from your CD, the default location is /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3

Then just get the latest point release for linux.

Basically the only thing the CD provides is pak0.pk3. Everything else is updated by PRs. Copy pak0 off your CD into /wherever/baseq3 and then install the latest linux PR into /wherever.
Done.

[^misantropia^]

Hah. Beat you to it, creep.

[creep]

hate.

[^misantropia^]

:wub:

[LANKe]

Okay, I have everything in place. I copied the pak0.pk3 file, and I updated to the latest point release, but I still can't get quake 3 to run.

[^misantropia^]

Error message?

[LANKe]

No, nothing happens. I click on the executable file, and nothing comes up.

[LANKe]

No ideas?

[^misantropia^]

Run it from a shell and post the full output here.

[LANKe]

I got it to run from the shell, but I don't have any sound.

[^misantropia^]

Yeah. Q3 uses OSS and OSS requires exclusive access to the sound card. Check out ioquake3, it has support for anything SDL supports plus OpenAL.

Thanks, I got it working. Now I have to remake the config I lost.
