We put QUAKE III under UBUNTU 7.10
Quake III is probably a cult game that many have grown up on. After 2005, when the engine code became public, it became possible to play in Q3 and under Linux. This feature was provided by ioquake3. Today I will try to tell in detail how to install and configure the game for Ubuntu on an EEE PC.
Step-by-step installation manual for Quake III.
What we need:
We also need the libopenal0a library, run it in the console:
sudo apt-get install libopenal0a
Create the q3inst directory. We go to the memory card and download the file ioquake3-1.34-rc3.run
cd / media / data /
mkdir q3inst
cd q3inst /
wget ioquake3.org/files/ioquake3-1.34-rc3.run
where / media / data / is the path to we mounted a memory card.
We start ioquake3-1.34-rc3.run
sudo sh ioquake3-1.34-rc3.run The
installer window will appear. (I have a Russian version of Ubuntu, the Cyrillic alphabet was not displayed correctly in the installer).
We accept the terms of use of the license, click further.
In the next step, we need to change the installation path to:
/ media / data / games / ioquake3 /
Click on after the installation is successfully completed. We need to copy from pak0.pk3 from the original disk. On the main PC, copy it to the USB flash drive, it is located in the / baseq3 directory /
Insert the USB flash drive into the EEE PC copy the file to the directory / media / data / games / ioquake3 / baseq3 /
cd / media / disk-1 /
cp pak0.pk3 / media / data / games / ioquake3 / baseq3 /
where / media / disk-1 / is the path where we mounted the flash drive.
Download autoexec.cfg
cd / media / data / q3inst /
wget hackavatar.com/gaming/Quake/dowloads/autoexec.cfg
Copy it to the / media / data / games / ioquake3 / baseq3 / cp autoexec.cfg / media / data folder too
/ games / ioquake3 / baseq3 /
Everything is ready, launch Applications> Games> ioqake3
FPS in the game on average 50-70. Original article and photo: EEE-Blog.Ru
