Quake 3 Help please

puff3r

Hi

Iam trying to get Quake 3 to install with this tutorial http://forum.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=1466 but when I put this line in sh /home/puff/Desktop/linuxq3apoint-1.32b.x86.run it comes up with this

sh /home/puff/Desktop/linuxq3apoint-1.31.x86.run

Verifying archive integrity...tail: cannot open `+6' for reading: No such file or directory

Error in check sums 669794169 212141158

This file is on my desktop linuxq3apoint-1.31.x86.run

Im trying to get 1.31.x86 to run not 132b.x86

This is my first linux os so I dont know much

Any help please step by step

thank you

Im using mint 10

It just sounds like the file you are attempting to run is incomplete. If a binary file is incomplete there is nothing we can do to fix it. Have you tried the same procedures with different versions of that file?

OK this will be longer, but there is an easy way to install Quake 3 under linux using the ioquake3 binaries. When the Quake 3 source code was released under GPL the community around ioquake3 continued fixing bugs and improving it - more details on their web http://ioquake3.org

You can get the binaries here: http://ioquake3.org/get-it

Installing using the command line (i386 system):

$ wget http://ioquake3.org/files/1.36/installer/ioquake3-1.36-7.1.i386.run
$ wget http://ioquake3.org/files/1.36/data/ioquake3-q3a-1.32-9.run
$ chmod u+x ioquake3-1.36-7.1.i386.run 
$ chmod u+x ioquake3-q3a-1.32-9.run 

$ ./ioquake3-1.36-7.1.i386.run 

An installer window shows where you can choose the install path (by default your home directory) and binary path (bin directory in your home).

The engine itself is released under GPL, but the textures, Quake 3 art work is still proprietary, so you will need your Quake 3 CD. Insert it in your CD-ROM (it should be mounted) and run the second installer.

$ ./ioquake3-q3a-1.32-9.run 

You will see another window, where you can select what type of CD your have (windows/linux), then press "Begin Install" and the installer will copy all the required data.

Now just run the game by typing

$ ioquake3

or

$ [[your install directory[[/ioquake3

Hope this helps

Hi

Thanks for help I will try ioquake3 if I cannot get normal q3 to work but anyway I got linuxq3apoint-1.31.x86.run to run but

Hmm...my wild guess would be that the game is trying to start using a resolution that is not supported... when I searched on the Internet I found this archlinux forum post … especially the autoexec.cfg generator could help you play and tweak your settings and determine the cause of this problem.
