You obviously have never run Quake in Linux or you would know that Windows and Linux both use the same CD. Again, you continue to speak as if you know when in fact you don't. If you don't know something, but just "believe it to be true" you should qualify your comments with "I am not sure, but I believe it to be the case". You download the Linux version of the engine from idSoftware and use the data files from the CD that you buy in the store.  And the Linux versions of Quake I/II/III are not only free as in beer, but you can also download the Quake I/II source code if you want to modify it.  No credit cards, no signing up for anything, just download it like you do any other Linux app.

YOU obviously don't have a clue here boy. go to http://idsoftware.com
click on downloads, look on that menu on the left and just TRY to click on source code. notice how you CAN'T
i managed to get a copy of the Quake1 source because one of the guys i met in a forum works for ID software. the source doesn't have makefiles or anything so it's not like you can compile it without having taken a class on programming for Linux.

on a second note, i actually own all 3 version of Quake, legal copies on CDs i bought from Future Shop and Radio Shack. all 3 versions of Quake install through a .exe file, in fact, Quake1 is simply 1 file with the .exe extention and it extracts into all the needed files. none of the Quake CDs have any instructions for Linux either.

so what was it you were saying about me, the own of all 3 Quakes, not knowing shit about Quake?

btw here is what happens when you try to download Quake2 for Linux, this link is from PlanetQuake

Sigh, again you spew what you think are facts rather than asking the simple questions "how do I?" or "where do I?".  Again you get the Linux versions of both the game engine and the source from idsoftware.  Look here:

ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff

Please ask if you do not know something.  Because you do not know something you state that it can not be done.  This misleads everyone else unjustly.

And I suppose you are going to tell me that I am not really running Quake/Doom/Wolfenstein for Linux using my game data files from my Windows CDs that I bought from a store like I have been doing for years and like several other people are doing on this forum.... Hmmm, I guess we must all be idiots because we could get it to work and you couldn't.

And here is the INSTALL document that comes with the downloaded Quake III for Linux:

--- Code: ---
--- End code ---

From the FTP site just get the "linuxq3apoint-1.31.x86.run" as that will probably be the easiest for you to start with.  It's a shell archive so you can run the install by typing "sh linuxquake3apoint-1.31.x86.run" or by making it executable by typing "chmod +x linuxquake3apoint-1.31.x86.run" then executing it "./linuxquake3apoint-1.31.x86.run". You should do the install as root.  Also, hopefully you have a Geforce 2/3/4 card. If so, download the GL kernel modules and code from the nVidia web site and install them.

And I very possibly could be your father, so don't call me boy.

Off-topic of this Q3 Linux discussion...

To add insult to injury, I will soon be making a Wind0ze 95 partition(and yes, w98 works fine now) just as an extra compatibility measure. Oh boy, ain't I such a wanker.

Hello everyone...I was recommended this sight by a friend..well actually my boss but who really cares. Anyways I have been a Windows use for all my life. I have always wondered about Linux and Unix and other OS but never really explored. Is there some way I can keep Windows on my computer and also have Linux on here as well? I would like to keep Windows for my Parents not for me. Anyways if anyone would help me out I would appreciate it. Oh and if you could please email me with the information. Also email me any links that would help me get started with Linux.
Thnx. [email protected]
