That did it! For one thing, I forgot to copy the maxpak.pak file, and I had the
.so file off the root of quake2/, not in baseq2/.

Now I'll try that other package you linked me to and see if can get the mouse
working for the menu.

I had forgotten how much nicer Quake2Max is than the 'regular'. Many thanks
Rick!

You need to copy the gamei386.so to this dir nd that error will go
away.. I tested this and got the same error when the file was not
present. Putting that file there should work for you ..

Just resubbed, I'll see what I can dig up there. I successfully compiled it, but
I'm getting this really weird error:

--- Loading gamei386.so ---

^2ERROR: failed to load game DLL

Error: Error during initialization

Is that referring to the gamei386.so? Why would a Linux binary attempt to load a

Hey Joe,
I haven't had time to compile it yet, are you still subscribed to the
quake2 list ?

There was a new update for the mouse GL bug at 
http://www.icculus.org/quake2/files/quake2-r0.16.tar.gz

It's supposed to be working but may have SDL problems on RH,
and possibly ALSA for some ..

I haven't had time to compile it and haven't played it for a couple
months but I use the PLF rpm's also .. no problems ..

[newbie] Quake2

2000-11-05 Thread Wayne Petherick

I recently bought Quake 2 for linux only to fidn that I can't get it to work. 
 If I run it in software x11 mode, the screen is the size of postage stamp, 
if i try to use any of the other acceleration modes (I have a Gefore 256 vid 
card) it seg faults or core dumps and says that to run it in those other 
modes I need to own the video console svgalib.  Has anyone had this problem?  
Can anyone help me with it?

Cheers,

Wayne




[newbie] Quake2/kernel/sound/video/modem/boot help ;p

2000-09-05 Thread Greg M.



Hi everyone,
 
I recently installed Mandrake 7.0 on my Win98SE PC 
and I have a few q's.
 
1.  I have a CL Live! Value sound card.  
It plays in KDE fine, with MP3's and the system sounds and the like.  
However, when playing Quake 2, the sound gets broken up and sounds like it is 
reverbing.  I've tried messing with the audio menu, but nothing.  One 
thing to note is I installed the latest CL emu10k1 drivers OVER the installed 
drivers (it worked from the get go, but didn't try Quake2 at that time).  
Is there anything I can do??  Check or whatever?  I fixed the mouse in 
quake 2 by editing libvga.config.
 
2.  In Quake 2, I can't get my Nvidia GeForce 
2 to work in hardware mode.  It crashes back to console every time.  I 
followed all the instructions on installing and configuring XFree86 4.0.1 and 
installed the nvidia drivers (instructions from 
linuxnewbie.org).  However, I have no idea if Mesa was installed, or 
installed correctly.  I know I didn't install it.  The quake2 
readme says I should install the included libMesaGL.so.2.6, but I 
thought the drivers might be out of date or might mess up my nvidia driver 
installation (the GLX one).
 
3. The new 2.2.17 kernel just released..  
Should i compile it, and what are the downfalls/good things about doing 
this?  Does it fix anything, or will it mess something up?
 
4.  How in the heck can I get my desktop to 
show the full desktop without running in a super high resolution?  If I use 
800x600, I only see part of the desktop (and I don't like scrolling the screen 
to find stuff).  The high res hurts my eyes (I run windows in 
800x600).
 
5.  I have my system setup to boot linux only 
if I have my bootdisk in my A: drive.  My hd was already partitioned past 
the 8 gig limit.  Will this have any adverse effects upon my system?  
Also, can I burn the contents of the bootdisk to a cd and have it boot from my 
DVD-ROM drive?
 
6.  In KDE, when I connect to the net and my 
modem icon goes to the "systray" area none of the icons will work.  If i 
try to click on konsole, it won't come up.  However, If I connect, change 
my theme, it will refresh the desktop, and my modem icon will disappear (still 
connected tho) and I can click on the icons.
 
 
WHEW!
 
I apologize about all the q's, but I'm a total 
newbie/moron to linux.  I knew and still do know every little about how it 
runs, what config files do what, and how to configure things right.
 
Upfront thanks to anyone who wishes to 
help!
 
Thanks!!
 
Greg M.

Hey, I may not be a  Linux guru, but I know my q2
This is an error w/ Quake2!  I get this error sometimes in windows, and I
get millions of e-mails from ppl about this problem!


in windows... the only solution is to acctually get colormap.pcx or run it
thru a shortcut or explorer. As well as re-isntall the game.  Other than
that.. Don't know how to solve

My mistake - it's actually rpmfind.net! It's a great resource, and it will 
show you all the dependencies you'll need for an application so that you 
can be sure you have everything.

Hi,
Quake2 running just fine with my old voodoo graphic.
i just follow the README steps, and Quake-HOWTO.
remember to remove /baseq2/config.cfg everytime you change the setting.
ones it running well for you, copy it to autoexec.cfg.

to work? no should be able to run from svgalib, but gl under X i'm sure is
the best graphics. Check the howtos and such from linuxquake and
linuxgames i'm sure you will find a solution. I'm a bit busy to test
quake2 (as much fun as it sounds :> )

it has built in kill functions 'gpm -k'
also
/etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm stop
should do it

Thanks everyone who replied to my email.
i will try killing gpm and running quake after i have sent this, whats more
important than the mouse is getting quake2 to run in X.
I changed my init levels to 5 so X starts up at boot and you cant log out into
console. when i run quake and it closes my X server it tries to restart X in
the background until i quit quake2 then it seg faults and exits.

Thanks Again

did you try to turn off GPM ?

# ps aux | grep gpm
# kill   (gpm PID number)

[newbie] Quake2 in Xwin

1999-10-21 Thread Mr-X-

Hi. I downloaded the RPM of Quake2 from ftp.iinet.net.au and it wont run in ANY
window manager under Xwin (KDE, enlightenment, gnome, afterstep), i managed to
get it running in console 680x420 with my voodoo2 but the mouse wont work. Iv
tried to edit /etc/vga/vgalib.config like it says in the README file but it
still will not work, anyone have any ideas ?

Thanks

RE: [newbie] Quake2?? anyone got it working on Mandrake?

1999-03-29 Thread Nichols, Jason

I got it working on Redhat 5.2 awhile back.  I actually copied the entire
quake2 directory off a win98 partition and put in on linux.  Then I took my
downloaded Linux binaries and threw them in the Quake2 directory also,
overwriting anything that was already there.  It seemed to work decently.
Everything was software rendered however.

I got Q2 and Q1 working on my linux Box.  They work ok considering I have
to run it in software, but due to the fact that it is in software, I can't
change the resolution any higher then the default of like 320x400 or
something.  If you have a 3dfx card then you can get it working a lot better.
