Name of this project: icculus.org/quake3 URL: http://www.icculus.org/quake3 Hello and welcome to the Quake 3 source repository on icculus.org I'll be your maintainer, zakk@icculus.org, please send all your patches to the bugzilla: https://bugzilla.icculus.org, or join the mailing list (quake3-subscribe@icculus.org) and submit your patch there. Best case scenario is you subscribe to the ml, submit your patch to bugzilla, and then post the url to the mailing list. If you're too lazy for either method, then I would rather you e-mailed your patches to me directly than not at all. The intent of this is to give people a baseline Quake 3. Bug fixes, SDL port, OpenAL, security, etc. Extra graphics and sound will be accepted as long as they are entirely optional and off by default. The map editor isn't included, get a modern copy from here: http://www.qeradiant.com/ The id software readme has been renamed to id-readme.txt so as to prevent confusion. Refer to the web-site for updated status, enjoy! Compiling ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cd code/unix && make Installing under Linux ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In code/unix edit the Makefile's COPYDIR variable to be where you installed quake 3 to. By default it will be set to /usr/local/games/quake3 if you haven't set it. Then run "make copyfiles", beware that this will overwrite any binaries installed previously, even id ones. Using shared libraries instead of qvm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To make quake3 prefer shared libraries instead of qvm run it with the following parameters: +set sv_pure 0 +set vm_cgame 0 +set vm_game 0 +set vm_ui 0 Using Demo Data Files ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ you only need demoq3/pak0.pk3 from the demo installer. The qvm files inside pak0.pk3 will not work, you have to use the native shared libraries from this project. To do so copy or link ui*.so, qagame*.so, cgame*.so from baseq3 to demoq3 and run quake3 with the parameters described above. 64bit mods ~~~~~~~~~~ To compile working(!) shared libraries for 64bit mods the vmMain and dllEntry functions as well as the syscall pointer have to be changed to accept and return long instead of int. Compiling under windows using MinGW ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is possible to compile ioQ3 using the MinGW (Minimalist GNU for Windows) toolset. It's a little more involved than compiling for linux; steps are as follows: 1. Download and install MinGW and MSys from http://www.mingw.org/. 2. Download and install the DirectX 9 SDK from http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/. Previous versions of the SDK will probably work, but they have not been tested. 3. Find the following in DXSDK/Include/dinput.h... } DIDEVICEINSTANCEW, *LPDIDEVICEINSTANCEW; #ifdef UNICODE typedef DIDEVICEINSTANCEW DIDEVICEINSTANCE; typedef LPDIDEVICEINSTANCEW LPDIDEVICEINSTANCE; #else typedef DIDEVICEINSTANCEA DIDEVICEINSTANCE; typedef LPDIDEVICEINSTANCEA LPDIDEVICEINSTANCE; #endif // UNICODE typedef const DIDEVICEINSTANCEA *LPCDIDEVICEINSTANCEA; typedef const DIDEVICEINSTANCEW *LPCDIDEVICEINSTANCEW; > #ifdef UNICODE > typedef DIDEVICEINSTANCEW DIDEVICEINSTANCE; > typedef LPCDIDEVICEINSTANCEW LPCDIDEVICEINSTANCE; > #else > typedef DIDEVICEINSTANCEA DIDEVICEINSTANCE; > typedef LPCDIDEVICEINSTANCEA LPCDIDEVICEINSTANCE; > #endif // UNICODE typedef const DIDEVICEINSTANCE *LPCDIDEVICEINSTANCE; ...and comment out/remove the duplicated code marked by '>'. 4. If you didn't install the DirectX SDK in C:\DXSDK\, edit DXSDK_DIR in code/unix/Makefile to reflect the new location. 5. Perform the usual precompilation sacrificial ritual. 6. Open an MSys terminal, and follow the instructions for compiling on Linux.
