QUAKE II FOR LINUX INSTRUCTIONS
(July 23rd Meeting)
You will need the following files:
Quake II Demo (or files from Install/Data on Quake 2 CD)
For glibc (what we used for RedHat 6.0) -
OR
For libc -
OR
To Install
- Make yourself root:
su -l
- Make the directory /usr/local/games/quake2 and go to it:
mkdir /usr/local/games/quake2
cd /usr/local/games/quake2
(it's best to have the two files you downloaded above in this directory)
- Unzip the file and get rid of the useless Windows crap:
unzip q2-314-demo-x86.exe
rm -rf Splash Setup.exe
mv Install/Data/baseq2 .
mv Install/Data/DOCS docs
rm -rf Install
rm -f baseq2/gamex86.dll
- Now install the Linux Binaries:
rpm -i --nodeps the-file-you-downloaded-above.rpm
OR
tar -xzf the-file-you-downloaded-above.tar.gz
(for the tar.gz you also have to chmod 644 /etc/quake2.conf)
- Now you are ready to play quake:
quake2 or /usr/local/bin/games/quake2/quake2
Update for RedHat 7.0 Users
If you have upgraded from a previous version to RedHat 7.0 then everything will work fine.
If you have a "clean install" of RedHat 7.0 you will need to do a couple of things:
What You Need:
What To Do:
- Install the rpm: rpm -ivh svgalib-1.4.1-2.i386.rpm
- Put libvga.config in /etc/vga/
There will already be one there, you can either use the one downloaded form this page which is already setup
for a PS2 2 button mouse, or edit your own.
