Quakeforge setup posted by Rogue Jedi X @ 193.77.186.162 on Mar 5 2007 2:13 PM

After many frustrating hours of trying to get QuakeForge to work, I have finally succeeded. Since some of you may want to compile and run QuakeForge yourself, I've decided to post a very short guide here.

1. First off, compile the latest QuakeForge (0.5.5, as of this writing) using instructions found here. As the site explains, the QuakeForge was designed to compile on GCC 3.4, so you'll have to get that first as it doesn't work on GCC 4.
2. Find your Quake CD and move the .pak files (you may have to convert them to lower case) to /usr/local/share/games/quakeforge/id1
3. If you don't want music, you're done. If you want it like I did, then get your Quake CD again and rip all music (track 2 and onward) to ogg format. For the sake of simplicity, name them track02.ogg and onward (track02.ogg, track03.ogg, track04.ogg, etc.). You can actually name them however you want, but then you'll have to edit tracklist.cfg below.
4. Make a folder in /usr/local/share/games/quakeforge/id1 called music. Then, while still in the id1 folder make a file called tracklist.cfg that should look like this:[br /]
// sample track list { 2 = "music/track02.ogg"; 3 = "music/track03.ogg"; 4 = "music/track04.ogg"; 5 = "music/track05.ogg"; 6 = "music/track06.ogg"; 7 = "music/track07.ogg"; 8 = "music/track08.ogg"; 9 = "music/track09.ogg"; 10 = "music/track10.ogg"; 11 = "music/track11.ogg"; }

5. You're done. Enjoy playing Quake!

Have a look here http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Quake-HOWTO.html (This doco is still being updated too.) Try using "-sndspeed 48000" or "-sndbits 16" as command line options (or swapping sound drivers %<) Also try "artsd &" and then "artsdsp -m glquake.glx"

wow! It compiles on my dual alpha box! posted by Anonymous @ 24.53.213.82 on Oct 3 2002 10:22 AM

I can't believe this works on my alpha. If you are having problems compiling make sure you have all the requirements from the docs. Check the output of the configure script for anything that doesn't look right. It's a LONG configure script. For anyone interested, my machine is a dual Alpha Server 5000 from Digital. 2 533mhz EV56 processors and 256 megs ram. It really just runs my NAT, but I've been trying to find a program worthy of it's number crunching power. It runs very smoothly with just software rendering under SDL. I havne't even tried to put a 3D card in this thing, it doesn't have an AGP slot, and I can't use any nVidia cards because the drivers are closed source and I can't recompile them for the alpha.

Can anyone link to a site that shows how to install this with a Nvidia card and not a dang Voodoo card. I want to play Quake 1 on my linux box!! Thanks!

Re: QuakeForge posted by Anonymous @ 207.75.253.68 on Oct 2 2002 8:07 PM

quakeforge (the game this thing is about) is made to play on hardware gl cards (eg nvidia) you are thinking of the original open source linux quake on idsoftware's ftp or something. just download quakeforge. it should require any special configuring to build for an nvidia card

okay, it's really nice and all to have an opengl deathmatch quake client, but what about the single player stuff? I don't have a voodoo card and I don't want to get one, so glquake won't work, when will quakeforge support single-player games?

[Reply]

Re: QuakeForge posted by Anonymous @ 193.252.217.72 on Oct 3 2002 7:45 AM

Just use nq-glx (or sdl x11 etc) instead of qw-client-glx (the first is to network playing the second is for solo).

I downloaded this twice, and each version had different errors when compiling. Why don't they offer binaries?
