\section gfx_wad What does "W_LoadWadFile: unable to load gfx.wad" mean?
|
|
|
|
|
The most common cause of this error is QuakeForge is unable to find
|
2005-07-27 12:14:35 +00:00
|
|
|
pak0.pak. QuakeForge looks for pak0.pak in both the $fs_userpath/id1 and
|
|
|
|
|
$fs_sharepath/id1 directories. In Windows, both fs_userpath and fs_sharepath
|
|
|
|
|
default to "." (ie, the current directory: the same as id's quake clients). In
|
|
|
|
|
Linux (and other UNIX like operating systems), fs_userpath defaults to
|
|
|
|
|
~/.quakeforge and fs_sharepath defaults to $prefix/share/games/quakeforge
|
|
|
|
|
(distribution packages might alter the exact path).

\section pak0_pak Where can I get pak0.pak?
|
|
|
|
|
See \ref game_data
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
\section game_data Why doesn't QuakeForge come with the game data?
|
|
|
|
|
While QuakeForge itself (and the Quake source code in general) is Free
|
|
|
|
|
Software, the game itself is not free. You need to either purchase it from <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://www.idsoftware.com/store/index.php?view=quake">id Software</a> or
|
|
|
|
|
you can use <a href="http://openquartz.sourceforge.net/">OpenQuartz</a>, a
|
|
|
|
|
project developing GPL compatable game data for Quake.

\section git_compile_error Checking out git and running ./bootstrap creates a configure that syntax errors when I run it! What's wrong?
|
|
|
|
|
Unlike downloading and compiling a release, when you checkout from git, you
|
|
|
|
|
must have all the dependencies of quakeforge already installed as when
|
|
|
|
|
configure is being created autotools sources m4 files... If the files do not
|
|
|
|
|
exist, you get the errors you have seen. Try installing packages which contain
|
|
|
|
|
the libraries that caused the syntax error, including the -dev versions, then
|
2007-03-24 10:17:05 +00:00
|
|
|
recreate configure using bootstrap and try again.
