LOKI's Q3a Instructions

[SKILL]

In step six it tells you to "create a symlink to the shell script in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin:" Then it tells you to type 'ln -s /usr/local/games/quake3/quake3 /usr/bin/quake3' but i looked in the /usr/bin and in /usr/local/bin and i cannot find a file called quake3.

PLEASE HELP?

Try:

#! /bin/csh
cd /usr/local/games/quake3/
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/games/quake3/
setenv MESA_GLX_FX fullscreen

./quake3 +seta r_fullscreen 1 +seta r_glDriver /usr/local/games/quake3/libMesaVoodooGL.so.3.2 +seta r_mode 3 +seta in_mouse 1 +set _windowed_mouse 1 +seta in_dgamouse 0 $*


This is the script I use for my V3 - if you use some other video card, you will need to change some things.

Ditto on what Shad said. (NVIDIA based card here too.)

[Phuzon]

Same here, running an nvidia card too. Just run /usr/local/games/quake3/quake3 or where ever u put it. It should work.

[BeardedDragon]

Make sure u set the file as an exe !

I've got a V770, it works fine. you don't necessarily have to set the symlink, that's just so you can type 'quake3' at any prompt, and it will start. basically, making a 'shortcut' (/bin/quake3..not the actual file) to /usr/local/games/quake3/quake3 (the real file). Like it was said in the previous post, make sure that the file is executable, or else you won't be able to run it. there won't be a quake3 file in /bin until you actually run the ln -s on the target.

Good Luck!
