It has been tested in Leopard (10.5.8). + + +Requirements +============ + + ioquake3 + http://ioquake3.org/get-it/ + Install it + + the Quake 3: Arena CD-ROM + Place the pak0.pk3 in your ioquake3/baseq3 folder + + Quartz Composer + Install instructions: + http://quartzcomposer.com/quartz-composer-installation-tutorial-how-to-install + + CamTwist + http://allocinit.com/index.php?title=CamTwist + Install it + + Datamosh.plugin + http://kriss.cx/tom/datamosh/ + Put it in: + /Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer Plug-Ins/ + + aero.zip + http://aero.electronicwhisper.com/ + Place the entire contents of this zip file in your ioquake3/baseq3 folder + This includes RUN_AERO, the aero folder, and aeroquartz.qtz + + +Running +======= + + Run RUN_AERO + This will launch ioquake3 with the AERO mods + + Press the ~ key + This will give you back your mouse control + + Move the ioquake3 window mostly off screen + + Open CamTwist + in "Video Sources" select "Desktop+", click "Select" + in "Settings", + uncheck "Full Screen" + check "Confine to Application Window" + select "ioquake3" from the list of windows + + Run aero-quartz.qtz + Make the viewer window big, ideally full-screening on your second monitor + + Click on the ioquake3 window to focus it + + Press the ~ key and you're off! Use the arrow keys to move around. + +Hacking +======= + +NOTE: Our working title for this mod was 'q3mosh' and despite some replace all +action you might still find that title floating around in path names etc. + +All of our assets (including .map files, textures, music, etc) are in the +aero/pak*.pk3 file; these are simply zip files with a different file extension, +you can unzip them to get the original files. + +Some game logic changes (eg new console commands) are bundled as compiled QVM +files. The actual source code changes relative to the ioquake3 source code +(relative to the 1772 subversion commit) are encapsulated in the +aero/ioquake3_aero.diff patch file. We also have a git repository of the +source code changes at: + + http://github.com/bnewbold/ioquake3-aero + +A few other changes (eg timescale) are implemented as simple command line +options (see RUN_AERO) or configuration flags (see autoexec.cfg in +aero/pak0.pk3) |
