How to install/ build/ play Quake 3....

[gdw35]

I have been able to build Quake successfully and it runs great. The problem is that there is no sound. I have followed most of the help tips I can find to get the sound working but none appear to work. I am using HDMI audio and doing some testing with other applications shows that for anything using the alsa drivers audio is working fine but anything that uses the pulse audio drivers is silent.

Are there any config tools or settings that I should be looking at for the pulse audio drivers that could resolve my problem?

Problem solved!!!

I removed pulseaudio from the system and it all started working. Now enjoying Quake with the sound up.

Very happy.

Any chance there will be a full version of Q3 for the pi instead of just a demo?

Of course, just provide the data from your legally obtained quake 3 install.

This is just the engine. It will run any id tech 3 compatible content including that from your original quake 3 CD or the steam version. I personally use it to play open arena.

Well done old chap. I have been trying to get the sound working for a while. Pulse Audio is a daemon isn't it? I wonder if it would work if you just shut down the daemon without having to remove it entirely? That way you could have a bash script to shut down the demon, run the game, and restart the daemon.

Hmmm, the PK3 packages are "wrong", esp. PK0
any other source ?

They work fine for me. Are they in the right folder?

Otherwise the files from openarena also work absolutely fine.

[Sassinak]

Yes they are, they're not corrupt or anything, just that when I start the game I get a warning that pk0(?) is not the size "expected..."
You say I can use files from openarena? Same packaging ? or do I rename the zips to *.pk3 ?

[dextrus]

It's good that you worry about this. I did at first. But then the original file was from 1999 the engine we're reading it from is much later that... Maybe the IoQuake version just defaults to "false"? I haven't checked. As long as it works and we have legitimate data, be happy.

Are there any Pi only quake servers? I'm not suggesting running the server on a Pi, but has anyone set up one for us Pi owners? I might.. But I suspect if anyone did and mentioned it, it would get swamped.

If only it started ! But no, it's not just a warning, it's a fail. I haven't played around with it in 2 days, I will give better information on just what the message is.
Meanwhile, OMXPlayer leaves a background and is uncontrollable from the keyboard - except ^C - been working on that too !

[6677]

there are no zips in open arena or q3.
You have made sure you extracted the archive in the first place right?

[kevintmckay]

Works great, thanks... BTW where do you do your memory GPU split to get best performance?

[Yamahanytro]

I went through and made sure I did everything right but when I run

Code: Select all

sudo ./ioquake3.arm

I get the error

Code: Select all

vchiq_lib: Incompatible VCHIQ library - driver version 5 (min 3), library version 2 (min 2)
* failed to open vchiq instance

I ran

Code: Select all

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

and it says I have no updates. Please help. I don't believe I messed up anywhere along the way.

I got the game to install, and boot up, but when i try to play it crashes, from the text it says its unable to find sound files. got it to play finally, sounds pops and cracks, game lags then it crashes.

Dear All,

From what I've read you need the updated version of this that will run with the latest Raspbian. I think I'm coming to the conclusion that it is better to often (roll your own) than download the image. The Hexxeh image no longer seems in place anyway.

If you get the VCHQ error it is as you are running the old version. Building it myself now! SSH is a wonderful thing.

Just trying to get this right so I can use it as an example with Kids. Anyone got this working with a PS3 pad? I've easily configured Wii-mote, and Xbox pad, but for the holy trinity I need the PS3 pad! Note to all those trying only OFFICIAL GENUINE PS3 pads seem to work via bluetooth, tried it with several others, but they fail to connect!

How big is the install? will it eat up my memory?

[QBall1977]

Quick question, not sure if in the right section, but does anyone know how to change the size of the console (~) while playing quake 3. On the projector when demo-ing to kids via HDMI the text is teeny tiny and very very hard to read. I had a look through all the Quake 3 commands I could find, but nothing obvious. Please, anyone got any tips?

Game runs great, I recommend removing pulseaudio as recommended and install the DispManx SDL drivers for improved performance.

Hi

I think theres a little confusion where the pak files need to go. I unzipped them into quake3/baseq3 and it didnt work. I then tried quake3/build/release-linux-arm/baseq3 then all was sweet.

[theoB610]

I'm having problems exiting quake (not that you'd ever want to).
It seems to get stuck on the last page of the credits.

[mrpi64]

It doesn't work for me! Can someone plz upload a pre-compiled version for the Pi to somewhere like dropbox? Thanks.

Ok, it works now. Any mods that I can use?

Hello.

I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong here and i don't even know if this post is active anymore
but anyway I'm write at the end where you have to change the directory to "cd /quake3/build/release-linux-arm/"
and I'm getting the error: " No such file or directory " please help me out, it would suck to get this far and just have to abandon it through something so stupid.

Thanks,
Matt.
