Doom3 sound issue

English Games
1

I installed Doom3 and it works but the sound although working, does not work right.
Depending on the situation the sound is totally distorted.

Through a Doom forum, I learned I better use iodoom instead of the one I used.

Here is the explanation on what to do:

Downloading and Compiling under Linux - Iodoom3

Through yast I checked if I have everything installed I need.
I only was missing git, so installed git.

But…

when I do:
$ git clone git://git.iodoom.org/iodoom3/iodoom3.gitguus@linux-n2go:~> $ git clone git://git.iodoom.org/iodoom3/iodoom3.git
If ‘$’ is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf $

With something not related I got this answer too, so I tried to leave out the $
( does anybody know what that $ does, I wonder if that is an Ubuntu ( debian ? ) thingy which openSUSE does not like.

guus@linux-n2go:~> git clone git://git.iodoom.org/iodoom3/iodoom3.git
Cloning into ‘iodoom3’…
fatal: unable to connect to git.iodoom.org:
git.iodoom.org[0: 65.59.189.198]: errno=Verbinding is geweigerd

Verbinding is geweigerd means in English, connection is refused.

Am I doing something wrong or is the problem not at my site of the internet?

For those wondering, what Doom3 is:
Linux Native Game: Doom 3 - YouTube

Leave the $ sign out. It’s the prompt. Yours is defined differently.
EDIT: Sorry, you already saw that, looking into it.

3

Getting the same error, git.iodoom.org does not resolve at all.

4

Interesting, thanks :slight_smile:

Then I might have to track down the owner of that git.

5

Found this:
IRC channel - Iodoom3

Lets see if that is still alive.

I got a very quick response, I should use:

dhewm3 (insteam of oidoom3)

https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3

I will update this post, about any progress.

This might not be for the faint-hearted :stuck_out_tongue:

But I am making progress

How to clone

git clone https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3.git

For others, you still need to install git, which can be done though yast.
And you need to check, if you have all the files needed to compile, they can be found on:
https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3

You also need a copy of the game, and the cd keys.
I own the game through steam.
To find your cd key’s in steam, go to your game library, right click on the game, and pick cd key.
If you bought it in a store, the cd keys should be with the jewel case.
Then you can use this key for your Linux install, after you compiled doom3.

I just got this instruction from the irc channel:

Git clone whateverlink && cd dhewm3/neo && mkdir build && cd build && cmake … && make && make install

Fingers crossed I never before compiled anything on Linux.

The difference between oidoom and dhewm, is the compile program used.
dhewm3 uses make instead of scons, and this source is newer, so I should not have sound issues.

There is no doom 3 Linux version, but they released the source code, so we can compile it our self.
But because the textures and maps are not released, you still need to own the original game, or buy it through steam.
And copy some files into the build dir.

(base/pak004.pk4)
(base/pak005.pk4)

(base/pak008.pk4)
 And if you own the expansion pack *Resurrection of Evil*:

(d3xp/pak000.pk4)
(d3xp/pak001.pk4)

I will probably have to do some reading about the make command.
google for make and or compiling under Linux

I almost got it working.

You need sudo for make install.

And I needed to install cmake, and a few devel files.

But game won’t start.

I am lost what causes the below.

Please describe detailed, f.e. the order of ‘make’ and ‘cmake’ is reversed.
Here’s how it goes (when all -devel files and compilers etc have been installed):


git clone https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3.git
cd dhewm3
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ../neo
make

It’s compiling right now, I’ll see if I can find some messages.

Well, that’s quite a mess. Created a symlink to get rid of the first error (base.so is installed in /usr/local/lib64/dhewm3 instead of /usr/local/share/dhewm3), but the next ones I don’t quite understand, and atm don’t have the time for. Here’s the output I’m getting now:

I might be able to help you :slight_smile:

I got it working.

When I looked at my commandline output I noticed doom3 was not looking in the folder, were I had copied the .pks files.

In my home dir are two dhewm folders.

One is hidden, and the path is:

/home/guus/.local/share/dhewm3/base

I got exactly the same error before as you, and as far as I can tell, you’re output is the same as mine. ( so the compiling went right)

Copying the 13 ( might be less if you do not have roe and or the latest updated version,) pks files to that folder worked for me.

I also copied two .cfg files from my previous install to that base folder.

DoomConfig.cfg
default.cfg

Both files contain the same text. ( we probably only need one, but when I was trying to solve the problem, I copied all the text into both files.

The txt in the files:
