quake4?

English Games

I installed quake4 as su from
patti-desktop:/home/patti/Desktop # ./quake4multiplayerdemo.x86.run

…and all seemed to go well, but when I try to run it I get an opensGL/SDL error:

You got your graphics drivers correctly installed ?

Andy

3

If so, your 3D accelerator may be too old. What card do you have?

4

I have a fairly recent card - an Nvidia 8300 - everything video seems fine, including 3D acceleration. I suspect it’s an incompatable library - wondering if anyone has gotten quake4 to run under opensuse 10.2 - that LibGLso.0.1 seems suspect. There’s probably versions!

5

i’ve run Quake 4 in SuSE 10 through to 11.0 with no problems. I take it you used the Loki installer to install it ?

Please post the output of

glxinfo|grep "direct rendering"

And what does happen when you enter

glxgears

It should show some animated gearwheels.

Off-topic:
murgel, your signature cracks me up :slight_smile:

On-topic:
If direct rendering is shown as ‘Yes’, then your driver (probably) isn’t your problem.

Found this on UbuntuForums: (Quake4 GLX error - Ubuntu Forums)

It describes editing your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
(Remember to first back it up in case something goes wrong)
Change:

Section “Screen”
Identifier “Screen[0]”
Device “Device[0]”
Monitor “Monitor[0]”
DefaultDepth 16

to

Section “Screen”
Identifier “Screen[0]”
Device “Device[0]”
Monitor “Monitor[0]”
DefaultDepth 24

and add the section

SubSection “Display”
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes “1280x1024” “1280x800” “1024x768” “1024x640” “800x600” “640x480”

Be sure to take a look at the thread yourself as well. Hope this helps! :slight_smile:

Sorry to take so long to respond - this forum wouldn’t let me on for a long time - much harder to get used to than the previous two forums this one replaced.

patti@new-host:~> glxinfo|grep “direct rendering”
direct rendering: Yes
patti@new-host:~>

and when I do glxgears, I get the little gears in 3D turning. I’m sure my graphics are installed correctly since other 3D games run fine. I think this may be a glibc thing since I don’t get the graphical installer when I run the installer - I get the text mode…

9

EDIT: I also tried the changes to my xorg.conf - no joy :frowning:

10

Here’s what I get now… first it seems to start, shows a graphics full-screen saying “loading game…” then it drops back to KDE with double-sized pixels, so KDE is much bigger than my display… I have to “End Current Session” and re-log-in to restart the Xorg. Weird. QuakeIII runs fine.

  1. Have you copied all the .pak files from the q4base folders on the 4cds?

  2. Make sure you check the file permissions on the .pak files. There’s a good chance this could be where your problem lies.

12

Patti, could you post what permissions you have on the *.pak files, it seems to be a permissions error?

13

Patti, I installed Quake4 today just to test (yeah,right! :smiley: ) no problems here.

14

Hi Andy: Is this the installer you used? Can you mention the procuedure you used? I tried two ways with this installer:

patti~> ./quake4-linux-1.4.2.x86.run
patti~> linux32 ./quake4-linux-1.4.2.x86.run

…but it didn’t give me the graphical installer like it did on 10.2 and 10.3. It also appears to be a FULL installer, not just a minimal thing that needs the CD’s like ut2004.

TY, Patti

15

the one i use that works perfectly was

quake4-linux-1.3-2.x86.run

Andy

16

Same here, downloaded from Zerowing’s site.

17

Did you get the graphical or text-mode installer? It usually reports what version of glibc you’re using - what did yours say? What was the file name of the installer you used? I used:
quake4-linux-1.4.2.x86.run
…but I think it has the full system in it! (rather than just being an installer for my cd’s)
THANKS@!!
Patti

18

I got the graphical installer Patti, the file was named quake4-linux-1.4.2.x86.run and was 274.23 MB in size. I mis-remember what the glibc said it was, I’m running x86-64 anyway. And yes, it just installs the base system, you have to copy the *.pk4 files manually.

19

same as what Slammer64 says, but i’m using 32bit. if you want i can put it on my ftp for you to download

Andy

20

Thanks, Andy, I guess that’s worth a try - I’m wondering what the difference is - I don’t get the graphical installer. I’m running 11.0 x86_64 with an Nvidia card and this driver:
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.09-pkg2.run

Oh! BTW: Does anyone know the status of UT-3?
