Ubuntu (Linux)

[Tom]

I have installed Quake one through using WINE (Runs windows applications on Linux machines).. got Photoshop Cs2 working but thats not the point.

What is happening is... when I click on glquake.exe and winquake.exe I get the 'W_LoadWadFile: couldn't load gfx.wad'

The id1 and pak0 and pak1 files are there.

What do I need to do?

I know Linux is case sensitive but I don't know what to put them as. When installed, they were all capitals.

Help!!

Use a terminal and define the direct path..

Example:
$wine /home/user/.c_wine/quake/glquake.exe

instead of double clicking the EXE

I haven't used wine in a while but I remember it creating a hidden directory within your home directory which has the pseudo C: partition.

You shouldn't use wine to run quake in linux. There are versions of quake that run natively in linux. Secondly when you have the quake executable, make a directory id1/ with the pak files in it so that quake can find them

um that sounds something like delete opengl32.dll

No, that would be a completely different error message.

If you mean Quake modifications, just add them like any other mod using the -game foldername command

On this very site, in the downloads section. I recommend proquake

Do you want to play Singleplayer or Multiplayer (Netquake) or Multiplayer (QuakeWorld)?

For Singleplayer please use http://www.kristianduske.com/fitzquake/
For Multiplayer (Netquake) please use Proquake
For Multiplayer (QuakeWorld) please use ezQuake (which is included in the nQuake package)

Do NOT try playing mods/addons with a QW engine.

I've installed Darkplaces.. Works perfectly!

But can I run the add ons of it?

[Baker]

DarkPlaces has a browse mods feature in the menu.

There is also a DarkPlaces IRC channel at:

irc://irc.anynet.org/darkplaces
