Problem running Quake, please help
 

Yes, That's the question. Can I play my "Quake" on Linux?

If so, How can I do it?

Thanks a lot!!

Yes. Quake, QuakeII QuakeIII also.

Look here.

They work very well, (and natively) on the linux platform, some people have think they work even faster/smoother than with windows.

Now another problem
 

Thanks a lot. I have well installed quake with quake.x11 linux binaries. But I can't run it.

I type: cd /usr/local/games/quake
./quake.x11

It tells me: ---> bash: ./quake.x11: No existe el fichero o el directorio (Translation: File or directory does not exist)

that problem has popped up on forums before, try searching for it.

It was
 

Yes, Lava, this problem was told in other post but it wasn't solved.

what have you tried so far? the only thing i can think of is trying this:
chmod +x quake.x11

Yes, LavaDevil, I have done it. It doesn't work anyway

from what i see on that link, it looks like there are alot of different quake engine source forks. maybe you could try a different engine? i heard darkplaces works pretty well...

Thanks Lava for helping me...

I'm sure it's my fault. I have tried 3 quake engines (fuhquake, squake, quake-x11)

I'm exhausted, I don't know what I do wrong...

you tried darkplaces? if youve played transfusion ( http://transfusion.sf.net ) a blood-like game built on the quake engine, it uses darkplaces, and it works great. try that.

Lava, :-( I'm so newbie...

Could you be so kind of telling me how to install Darkplaces? I have looked for information and I have tried but I don't success.

I have downloaded it from: http://icculus.org/twilight/darkplaces/download.html

I have downloaded the file: DarkPlaces engine Windows OpenGL build 20031207b

Can you explain me? I would be so thankful. Besides, that would help me installing other programs.

THANKS

Tell me you do have the WINDOWS version of quake installed in /usr/local/games/quake
Just the linux binary (i.e. quake.x11) on its own isn't enough. You need to put quake.x11 into the same directory as a windows version of the game (the same folder that contains the id1 directory. You also then need to make all the filenames lowercase.

Thanks Komakino.

Yes, I have the windows version of Quake. And I also did all the things you have told me except the last one. I don't know what that it means. Make all the filenaes lowercase?

ya, if somethings like YOURFILE.PAK, you should change it to yourfile.pak.
