 |
|
I've tried to run several Quake3 mods installed from portage - I am member of the games group, so there shoud be no problems there.
However, when I run , i get this...

the same thing happens with all the other quake3-* packages I've tried - how do I fix this?

do you have default.cfg in /opt/quake3/tremulous/ or any other directories? Do a | Code: | | locate default.cfg | grep quake |
and if it comes up with multiple entries (which it should do) then look for the tremulous one. When found it should be in /home/mikl/.q3a/demota or /opt/quake3/demota or ./quake3.x86/demota

nope, no default.cfg files anywhere... They aren't in the ebuild either...

I sure did. And I take it you don't mean the default.cfg from LaTeX...
| Code: | mikl@elijah ~ $ locate default.cfg
/usr/share/texmf/source/latex/local/default.cfg |

I googled a bit, and I found this: http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/q3a/index.html#pk3...
Seemingly, quake3 misses some .pk3 files - i expect it's the ones supplied with the commercial game - but the commercial game shouldn't be needed to play these mods - or what?

Well, first quake3-tremulous is deprecated 
Second, portage install quake3-mods for quake3-bin, not quake3 so you have to create symlinks :
| Code: | /usr/share/games/quake3>ls -l
total 4,0K
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 jui 6 18:45 arena -> /opt/quake3/arena//
drwxr-x--- 2 root games 4,0K jui 1 11:35 baseq3/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 jui 6 18:55 brainworks -> /opt/quake3/brainworks//
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 jui 6 18:55 cpma -> /opt/quake3/cpma/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 jui 6 18:55 missionpack -> /opt/quake3/missionpack
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 jui 6 18:55 osp -> /opt/quake3/osp/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 jui 6 18:55 tremulous -> /opt/quake3/tremulous//
/usr/share/games/quake3>
|
Remember to chown the symlinks ( group is games ) |

Well, I have quake3-bin, not quake3 (since i need PunkBuster)
Also, I have no /usr/share/games/quake3 - I do, however, have /usr/share/games/quake1, which contains nexiuz.
I'll get the standalone-version of tremulous, but I take it the other quake3-mods should still work?

| Yep, quake3-tremulous is redundant, everyone is playing the standalone. It's better. You can find an ebuild in bugzilla. |
