Well, it isn't exactly old Quake I play. I play the DarkPlaces Quake engine, which is being developed today. Say hi to LordHavoc for me :) I think with Ubuntu you could just aptitude install darkplaces and be on your way. I compile recent source and manually install it etc. Getting the Quake files is a bit tricky but there is a Quake HOWTO that explains how to do it. http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Quake-HOWTO.html Then there are about a billion maps and mods for Quake today. Some of my favorites are: Marcher (what the screen in the picture is from) Quoth Nehahra Contract 5 Rivers Remember there are no stupid questions, just people that stay dumb for not asking. ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
