You're missing a bunch of pak files, which need to be copied from the game CDs

startup should look like this

i did a emerge q4 bin. and it copy'd all my cds over for me. and all the pack files. it says error. no defualt.cfg. but i searched the cds, and none were to be fouind.

make sure you have read/write/access permissions to the .q4/ folder (or .quake4/, can't remember).
The fact you don't have config file shouldn't be a problem, cause the init script writes one for you if you don't have it (normally when first launched).

its all in my /opt/quake4 i just need to copy it over :)

If the game cannot find the pak files it will error out with the following:

Code:

Sys_Error: Couldn't load default.cfg - Check your working folder.

Post the output of the following command..

Code:

ls -al /usr/local/games/quake4/q4base

thanks for the help i got it all working.

:)
