|
||||
0. Introduction
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
This document describes howto install quakeforge and configure it.
|
||||
The configuration is organized in a FAQ.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Getting Quakeforge
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
First you should get Quakeforge source-code.
|
||||
You can get the source on the Website or from the CVS.
|
||||
For CVS see section 1.1 (below).
|
||||
Save the source in a good location, untar it (tar -xvzf <tar.gz-file>) and
|
||||
proceed to section 3.
|
||||
|
||||
1.1 Get QF by CVS
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
Here are the two commands for getting the CVS:
|
||||
$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.quakeforge.net:/cvsroot/quake login
|
||||
login: (hit enter)
|
||||
$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.quakeforge.net:/cvsroot/quake co quakeforge
|
||||
|
||||
2. Requirements
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
You will need XFree86 to build Quakeforge clients.
|
||||
Quakeforge has many targets, and the configure-script should detect the
|
||||
possible targets.
|
||||
I recommend to install SDL, but its optional.
|
||||
NOTE: fbdev clients aren't ready for use yet (due to poor input code)
|
||||
|
||||
The most important requirement are quake1-data-files.
|
||||
If you are not a owner of quake1, you should run like hell to the next
|
||||
computer-game-shop and get quake1. You will need the pak-files in id1/.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Compiling Quakeforge
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
3.1 Configure
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
First we will have to make the configure-script:
|
||||
$ ./bootstrap
|
||||
The script maybe alerts some warnings, ignore them.
|
||||
For a documentation of the configure options, type: ./configure --help
|
||||
Most options are self-explaining, but i will list the important options here:
|
||||
|
||||
--with-clients=<list>
|
||||
You can specify a list with clients you want to build. This option is
|
||||
autodetected normally. If you specify a client, which isn't avaible on
|
||||
your system, the build will maybe fail.
|
||||
|
||||
--with-servers=<list>
|
||||
Specifys the servers to build. This option is autodetected normally.
|
||||
|
||||
--disable-debug
|
||||
Compile Quakeforge without debugging. You will not need this, until you
|
||||
are going to develop Quakeforge.
|
||||
|
||||
In CVS-checkouts or development-releases debugging is enabled by default,
|
||||
disable it with --disable-debug.
|
||||
After you got all the necessary options for your system run the script:
|
||||
$ ./configure --disable-debug
|
||||
|
||||
That will be enough for a normal linux-system. As i use a special prefix
|
||||
and special library-location i use this command to configure Quakeforge
|
||||
(this will not work on your system, thread it as an example):
|
||||
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/quakeforge ----with-sdl-prefix=/opt/SDL-1.2.3/ \
|
||||
--with-sdl-exec-prefix=/opt/SDL-1.2.3/ \
|
||||
--disable-debug --with-amd --with-clients=glx,sdl,sdl32,svga,x11 \
|
||||
--with-servers=master,nq,qw --disable-xmms
|
||||
|
||||
Now the makefiles have been build and we can proceed to the next step.
|
||||
|
||||
3.2 Build
|
||||
---------
|
||||
This step should be the easiest of all:
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
|
||||
After a long time everything should have been build fine.
|
||||
If not, and make exited with an error, you should check library-paths and
|
||||
the configure-script options. If you fetched the source from CVS it's
|
||||
maybe broken. Contact the developers and make a bugreport.
|
||||
|
||||
Now install the binarys:
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
|
||||
(You maybe have to be root, if you want to install quakeforge to a
|
||||
public location (eg. /usr/local/) )
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3.3 Quake1 datafiles
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
You will need DOS or a DOS-emulator and install Quake1 to harddisk before,
|
||||
because the files are packed on the CD and will need to be extracted.
|
||||
Then you should mount the partition with the installed Quake1.
|
||||
Now there are two locations to install the quake1-gamedata to:
|
||||
|
||||
Public/Shared location:
|
||||
This is the most common location for the original quake1 gamedata,
|
||||
because it can be used by every use on the system, who wants to play quake.
|
||||
Make the directory <quakeforge-prefix>/share/games/quakeforge/id1/
|
||||
and copy id1/*.pak to it. (<quakeforge-prefix> will be /usr/local/ by default)
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
$ cd <quakeforge-prefix>
|
||||
$ mkdir -p share/games/quakeforge/id1/
|
||||
(Note: the -p option is only avaible on systems with GNU-fileutils, make the
|
||||
missing parent-directorys manually if -p switch fails)
|
||||
$ cp <quake1-dir>/id1/*.pak <quakeforge-prefix>/share/games/quakeforge/id1/
|
||||
|
||||
Per-User location:
|
||||
You can install the gamedata to your local
|
||||
user-directory ~/.quakeforge/id1/ too. This is good for customized gamedata or
|
||||
if you dont have access to the global location.
|
||||
Make the directory ~/.quakeforge/id1, if it doesn't exist and copy id1/*.pak to
|
||||
it.
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
$ cd $HOME
|
||||
$ mkdir .quakeforge && mkdir .quakeforge/id1/
|
||||
$ cp <quake1-dir>/id1/*.pak .quakeforge/id1/
|
||||
|
||||
3.4 Start quake
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
Now everything should be setup and the clients should start.
|
||||
To list all the clients which were build do: ls <quakeforge-prefix>/bin/nq-*
|
||||
or for quakeworld-clients: ls <quakeforge-prefix>/bin/qw-*
|
||||
There should be a nq-x11, if not, use another.
|
||||
|
||||
Test it:
|
||||
$ nq-x11 (or whatever client you want to use)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
4. Configure Quakeforge FAQ
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
This section sums up the most important options for different
|
||||
stuff in quakeforge in a FAQ.
|
||||
There are a lot more options you can change, to get a list of all with
|
||||
documentation do:
|
||||
$ nq-x11 +cvarlist doc +quit > doc
|
||||
or
|
||||
$ qw-client-x11 +cvarlist doc +quit > fe
|
||||
|
||||
You can do that with any client. (If you want the list of cvars avaible
|
||||
for server start the server and use '/cvarlist doc' to get a documentation,
|
||||
but this may not output a good list)
|
||||
|
||||
For most cvars (options) you can set in config.cfg (in the gamedata-dir of
|
||||
quakeforge (eg. ~/.quakeforge/id1/config.cfg)) or in ~/.quakeforgerc
|
||||
Where i recommend ~/.quakeforgerc
|
||||
But you can too set the cvars on commandline:
|
||||
+set <cvarname> <value>
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
$ nq-x11 +set vid_width 640 +set vid_height 480
|
||||
|
||||
If your question isn't answered anywhere in this document you should
|
||||
look at the documentation which comes with quakeforge or ask the
|
||||
developers.
|
||||
If you have a common question and an answere please mail me, to keep
|
||||
this document uptodate and to make it complete.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1 Video
|
||||
---------
|
||||
Q: My window is so small in X, how can i make it bigger?
|
||||
A: Set vid_width and vid_height to the appropriate values.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: The mouse don't want to stay in the window!
|
||||
A: Set in_grab to 1, that will grab the mouse.
|
||||
(I recommend to make a bind to "toggle in_grab" for make the options
|
||||
toggleable)
|
||||
|
||||
4.2 Audio
|
||||
---------
|
||||
Q: Quake hangs on "Sound Initialization"!
|
||||
A: Another programm is using the sound-device. Try the -nosound option.
|
||||
Try to figure out the sound-driver you need and their values for the
|
||||
cvars snd_output.
|
||||
|
||||
4.3 Input
|
||||
---------
|
||||
Q: I want to have mouse-look, howto?
|
||||
A: Put '+mlook' into ~/.quakeforgerc or autoexec.cfg
|
||||
|
||||
4.4 Misc
|
||||
--------
|
||||
Q: HELP! Where is the menu? Everytime i press ESC the console comes.
|
||||
A: Quakeforge has no menu yet, you will have to set the cvars manually
|
||||
until the menu is finished.
