Doom3 Installed But Question

carlosinfl · 10-10-2006, 11:41 AM

I installed the latest version of the Doom3 installer. I have not yet copied the w32 files from disk but the installer has been installed on my PC. When I go in my Gnome menu under "applications" there is a section called "other" and I see "doom3" listed twice. I don't understand why it is listed twice so I checked /usr/local/games/doom3 and when I run the following command I think I see why.

Code:

cwilliams:/usr/local/games/doom3# ls
base     doom3            doomded.x86    libstdc++.so.5  pb
CHANGES  doom3-dedicated  doom.x86       License.txt     README
d3xp     doom3.png        libgcc_s.so.1  openurl.sh      version.info
cwilliams:/usr/local/games/doom3# cat version.info
1.3
1.40

Can someone please explain this and let me know if this will be an issue? It just seems strange, no?

I don't know the reason, but recall that the same thing happened to me. I just checked one to make sure it would launch the application and deleted the other one.

I think one is a shortcut to start the dedicated server doomded via doom3-dedicated. The version.info text file has nothing to do with the shortcuts....perhaps you could check where the shortcuts point to under their properties in menu-edit?

Yes, the bottom of the 2 work but I have no clue how to go about removing the top one? I can highlight it but when I press delete, nothing happens...

In KDE you need to edit the entry through the KDE app kmenuedit. I assume there is a similar thing in Gnome probably under gnome settings....in xfce4 its called xfce4-menueditor....you get the idea
