|
Quake III: Team Arena
|
|
Installation instructions
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
What you need:
|
|
|
|
- retail CD-ROM of Quake III Arena for Windows or linux
|
|
- optionally, retail CD-ROM of Quake III: Team Arena
|
|
- a computer running linux (kernel >= 2.2 glibc >= 2.1)
|
|
- running the client requires X11 and 3D hardware acceleration with OpenGL
|
|
|
|
Installation:
|
|
|
|
If you have the retail CD-ROM of Quake III Arena for linux:
|
|
- install Quake III Arena from the CD-ROM
|
|
- run the Point Release installer
|
|
(to buy Quake III Arena for linux online, try http://www.tuxgames.com/)
|
|
|
|
If you have the retail CD-ROM of Quake III Arena for Windows:
|
|
- run the Point Release installer first
|
|
- now you need to copy the main pak files from the CD-ROM
|
|
or from your win32 partition. Namely, you need to copy baseq3/pak0.pk3
|
|
and for Team Arena, missionpack/pak0.pk3
|
|
see below for more instructions on how to copy the files:
|
|
|
|
WARNING: Those instructions are provided as a reference,
|
|
depending on your distribution the CD-ROM might not have the same
|
|
mount point. Please refer to your linux documentation for additional
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
- open a root shell and cd to the default installation path:
|
|
cd /usr/local/games/quake3
|
|
- mount the Quake III Arena CD-ROM and install the game content
|
|
cp /mnt/cdrom/Quake3/baseq3/pak0.pk3 /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3
|
|
- optionally, mount the Quake III: Team Arena CD-ROM
|
|
cp /mnt/cdrom/Setup/missionpack/pak0.pk3 /usr/local/games/quake3/missionpack
|
|
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
- If you are running Quake III Arena and Quake III: Team Arena on a
|
|
Windows partition, you can save some space by symlinking the game
|
|
assets to their windows installation:
|
|
ln -s /win/quake3/baseq3/pak0.pk3 /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3/pak0.pk3
|
|
ln -s /win/quake3/missionpack/pak0.pk3 /usr/local/games/quake3/missionpack/pak0.pk3
|
|
(Windows partition is mounted as /win and Quake III Arena installation is C:\quake3)
