1 README for Linux Quake 2 ---------------------- 3 4 This README convers all versions of Quake for Linux: 5 - SVGALib Quake (squake) 6 - GLQuake (glquake, glquake.glx and glquake.3dfxgl) 7 - X11 Quake (quake.x11) 8 9 Requirements for SVGALib Quake: 10 11 - SVGALib 1.20 or later (/lib/libvga.so.1.2.10) 12 - libc 5.2.18 or later (5.0.9 will not work, /lib/libc.so.5.2.18) 13 or glibc (libc6) for the glibc version 14 - CD-ROM for CDAudio 15 - Soundcard capable of mmap'd buffers. USSLite 3.5.4 was used to build squake 16 with. Works fine on SoundBlaster 16 and Gravis Ultrasound MAX. 17 - SVGALib supported mouse (usually if it works with X, it'll work with 18 squake). 19 - Kernel 2.0.24 or later 20 - untested with 2.1 kernels, your mileage may vary 21 22 Requirements for GLQuake: 23 24 - 3DFX based card for the GLQuake version, VooDoo, VooDoo Rush or VooDoo2 25 at this writing. In order to use 3DFX hardware, you must have 3DFX's 26 GLIDE drivers installed. RPMs for these drivers are available at: 27 http://glide.xxedgexx.com/3DfxRPMS.html 28 - For the glX version, an OpenGL implementation that includes hardware 29 glX support. 30 - CD-ROM for CDAudio 31 - Soundcard capable of mmap'd buffers. USSLite 3.5.4 was used to build squake 32 with. Works fine on SoundBlaster 16 and Gravis Ultrasound MAX. 33 - SVGALib compatible mouse for glquake or X11 for glquake.glx 34 - Kernel 2.0.24 or later 35 - untested with 2.1 kernels, your mileage may vary 36 37 Requirements for X11 Quake: 38 39 - X11R5 later, only tested with XFree86, should work with most X Servers 40 - libc 5.2.18 or later (5.0.9 will not work, /lib/libc.so.5.2.18) 41 or glibc (libc6) for the glibc version 42 - CD-ROM for CDAudio 43 - Soundcard capable of mmap'd buffers. USSLite 3.5.4 was used to build squake 44 with. Works fine on SoundBlaster 16 and Gravis Ultrasound MAX. 45 - SVGALib supported mouse (usually if it works with X, it'll work with 46 squake). 47 - Kernel 2.0.24 or later 48 - untested with 2.1 kernels, your mileage may vary 49 50 Additional notes for SVGALib Quake 51 ---------------------------------- 52 53 SVGALib may not detect a 3-button mouse properly (it 54 will only use two buttons). Check your /etc/vga/libvga.config 55 and set it up for your mouse type. 56 57 Additional notes for GLQuake 58 ---------------------------- 59 60 There are three different ways to execute GLQuake: 61 62 1. The binary "glquake" requires Mesa 3-D 2.5 or later installed and compiled 63 with 3DFX support (fxMesa..() function interface). It also requires 64 svgalib 1.3.0 or later for keyboard/mouse input. This binary is a console 65 application. Mesa 3-D requires GLIDE to be installed. 66 67 2. The shell script "glquake.3dfxgl" runs the "glquake" binary after 68 preloading the lib3dfxgl.so library. This is a port of 3DFX's Win32 69 OpenGL MCD (Mini Client Driver) to Linux. It is faster than Mesa 3-D 70 since it was written specifically with supporting GLQuake in mind. 71 lib3dfxgl.so requires that GLIDE be installed. 72 73 3. The binary "glquake.glx" is linked against standard OpenGL libraries. 74 It should run on many different hardward OpenGL implementations under 75 Linux and X11. This binary is an X11 application and must be run under 76 X11. It will work with Mesa 3-D as a standard glX based OpenGL 77 applications. If the Mesa 3-D library is compiled with 3DFX support, 78 you can have Mesa 3-D support 3DFX hardware under X11 by setting the 79 enviroment variable "MESA_GLX_FX" to "fullscreen" for fullscreen mode 80 and "window" for windowed mode, eg. "export MESA_GLX_FX=fullscreen" for sh 81 or "setenv MESA_GLX_FX fullscreen" for csh. 82 83 For glquake, you must also have SVGALib or later installed (1.3.0 or later 84 prefered). GLQuake uses SVGALib for mouse and keyboard handling. 85 86 If you have gpm and/or selection running, you will have to terminate them 87 before running GLQuake since they will not give up the mouse when GLQuake 88 attempts to run. You can kill gpm by typing 'killall gpm' as root. 89 90 You must run GLQuake as root or setuid root since it needs to access things 91 such as sound, keyboard, mouse and the 3DFX video. Future versions may not 92 require root permissions. 93 94 Additional notes for X11 Quake 95 ------------------------------ 96 97 This is a windowed version that is generic for X11. It runs in a window 98 and can be resized. You can specify a starting window size with: 99 -width <width> 100 -height <height> 101 -winsize <width> <height> 102 Default is 320x200. It works in 16bit modes, but it's slower (twice as many 103 bytes to copy). 104 105 No other video modes are supported (just runs windowed). Mouse is read, but 106 not "grabbed" by default. Go to the Options menu and turn on Use Mouse to grab 107 the mouse and use it in the game (or type "_windowed_mouse 1" at the console). 108 109 Command Line Options for Linux Quake 110 ------------------------------------ 111 112 -mem <mb> 113 Specify memory in megabytes to allocate (default is 8MB, which should be fine 114 for most needs). 115 116 -nostdout 117 Don't do any output to stdout 118 119 -mdev <device> (SVGALib based versions only) 120 Mouse device, default is /dev/mouse 121 122 -mrate <speed> (SVGALib based versions only) 123 Mouse baud rate, default is 1200 124 125 -cddev <device> 126 CD device, default is /dev/cdrom 127 128 -mode <modenum> 129 Use indicated video mode 130 131 -nokdb 132 Don't initialize keyboard 133 134 -sndbits <8 or 16> 135 Set sound bit sample size. Default is 16 if supported. 136 137 -sndspeed <speed> 138 Set sound speed. Usual values are 8000, 11025, 22051 and 44100. 139 Default is 11025. 140 141 -sndmono 142 Set mono sound 143 144 -sndstereo 145 Set stereo sound (default if supported) 146 147 End Notes 148 --------- 149 150 Linux Quake is *NOT* an officially supported product. Mail about it 151 will be deleted. Do not email id about this product. If you are having 152 technical difficultly, you can email me, but make sure you have the correct 153 kernel, libc, svgalib and other software versions before you email me. 154 155 Dave 'Zoid' Kirsch 156 zoid (a] idsoftware.com 157 Official Quake Unix Port Administrator 158
readme.glquake
1 Linux Glquake v0.98, Quake v1.09 release notes 2 3 Requirements 4 ------------ 5 6 For 3DFX based hardware, you must download and install Linux GLIDE from 7 http://glide.xxedgexx.com/3DfxRPMS.html and install as per the 8 instructions. 9 10 Running GLQuake 11 --------------- 12 13 There are three different ways to execute GLQuake: 14 15 1. The binary "glquake" requires Mesa 3-D 2.5 or later installed and compiled 16 with 3DFX support (fxMesa..() function interface). It also requires 17 svgalib 1.3.0 or later for keyboard/mouse input. This binary is a console 18 application. Mesa 3-D requires GLIDE to be installed. 19 20 2. The shell script "glquake.3dfxgl" runs the "glquake" binary after 21 preloading the lib3dfxgl.so library. This is a port of 3DFX's Win32 22 OpenGL MCD (Mini Client Driver) to Linux. It is faster than Mesa 3-D 23 since it was written specifically with supporting GLQuake in mind. 24 lib3dfxgl.so requires that GLIDE be installed. 25 26 3. The binary "glquake.glx" is linked against standard OpenGL libraries. 27 It should run on many different hardward OpenGL implementations under 28 Linux and X11. This binary is an X11 application and must be run under 29 X11. It will work with Mesa 3-D as a standard glX based OpenGL 30 applications. If the Mesa 3-D library is compiled with 3DFX support, 31 you can have Mesa 3-D support 3DFX hardware under X11 by setting the 32 enviroment variable "MESA_GLX_FX" to "fullscreen" for fullscreen mode 33 and "window" for windowed mode. 34 35 You must also have SVGALib 1.3.0 or later installed. GLQuake uses SVGALib 36 for mouse and keyboard handling. 37 38 If you have gpm and/or selection running, you will have to terminate them 39 before running GLQuake since they will not give up the mouse when GLQuake 40 attempts to run. You can kill gpm by typing 'killall gpm' as root. 41 42 You must run GLQuake as root or setuid root since it needs to access things 43 such as sound, keyboard, mouse and the 3DFX video. Future versions may not 44 require root permissions. 45 46 resolution options 47 ------------------ 48 glquake -width 512 -height 384 49 Tries to run glquake at the specified resolution. 50 Only highend VooDoo cards support such high resolutions (most 51 cards on the market right now do not). Another popular and supported mode 52 is 512x384 (-width 512 -height 384) which can offer a faster speed than 53 the default 640x480. 54 55 You can also specify the resolution of the console independant of the screen 56 resolution. 57 58 glquake -conwidth 320 59 This will specify a console resolution of 320 by 240 (the height is 60 automatically determined by the default 4:3 aspect ratio, you can also 61 specify the height directly with -conheight). 62 63 In higher resolution modes such as 800x600 and 1024x768, glquake will default 64 to a 640x480 console, since the font becomes small enough at higher 65 resolutions to become unreadable. If do you wish to have a higher resolution 66 console and status bar, specify it as well, such as: 67 glquake -width 800 -height 600 -conwidth 800 68 69 texture options 70 --------------- 71 The amount of textures used in the game can have a large impact on performance. 72 There are several options that let you trade off visual quality for better 73 performance. 74 75 There is no way to flush already loaded textures, so it is best to change 76 these options on the command line, or they will only take effect on some of 77 the textures when you change levels. 78 79 OpenGL only allows textures to repeat on power of two boundaries (32, 64, 80 128, etc), but software quake had a number of textures that repeated at 24 81 or 96 pixel boundaries. These need to be either stretched out to the next 82 higher size, or shrunk down to the next lower. By default, they are filtered 83 down to the smaller size, but you can cause it to use the larger size if you 84 really want by using: 85 86 glquake +gl_round_down 0 87 This will generally run well on a normal 4 MB 3dfx card, but for other cards 88 that have either worse texture management or slower texture swapping speeds, 89 there are some additional settings that can drastically lower the amount of 90 textures to be managed. 91 92 glquake +gl_picmip 1 93 This causes all textures to have one half the dimensions they otherwise would. 94 This makes them blurry, but very small. You can set this to 2 to make the 95 textures one quarter the resolution on each axis for REALLY blurry textures. 96 97 glquake +gl_playermip 1 98 This is similar to picmip, but is only used for other players in deathmatch. 99 Each player in a deathmatch requires an individual skin texture, so this can 100 be a serious problem for texture management. It wouldn't be unreasonable to 101 set this to 2 or even 3 if you are playing competatively (and don't care if 102 the other guys have smudged skins). If you change this during the game, it 103 will take effect as soon as a player changes their skin colors. 104 105 run time options 106 ---------------- 107 At the console, you can set these values to effect drawing. 108 109 gl_texturemode GL_NEAREST 110 Sets texture mapping to point sampled, which may be faster on some GL systems 111 (not on 3dfx). 112 113 gl_texturemode GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP 114 This is the default texture mode. 115 116 gl_texturemode GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR 117 This is the highest quality texture mapping (trilinear), but only very high 118 end hardware (intergraph intense 3D / realizm) supports it. Not that big of 119 a deal, actually. 120 121 gl_finish 0 122 This causes the game to not issue a glFinish() call each frame, which may make 123 some hardware run faster. If this is cleared, the 3dfx will back up a number 124 of frames and not be very playable. 125 126 gl_flashblend 0 127 By default, glquake just draws a shaded ball around objects that are emiting 128 light. Clearing this variable will cause it to properly relight the world 129 like normal quake, but it can be a significant speed hit on some systems. 130 131 gl_ztrick 0 132 Glquake uses a buffering method that avoids clearing the Z buffer, but some 133 hardware platforms don't like it. If the status bar and console are flashing 134 every other frame, clear this variable. 135 136 gl_keeptjunctions 0 137 If you clear this, glquake will remove colinear vertexes when it reloads the 138 level. This can give a few percent speedup, but it can leave a couple stray 139 blinking pixels on the screen. 140 141 novelty features 142 ---------------- 143 These are some rendering tricks that were easy to do in glquake. They aren't 144 very robust, but they are pretty cool to look at. 145 146 r_shadows 1 147 This causes every object to cast a shadow. 148 149 r_wateralpha 0.7 150 This sets the opacity of water textures, so you can see through it in properly 151 processed maps. 0.3 is very faint, almost like fog. 1 is completely solid 152 (the default). Unfortunately, the standard quake maps don't contain any 153 visibility information for seeing past water surfaces, so you can't just play 154 quake with this turned on. If you just want to see what it looks like, you 155 can set "r_novis 1", but that will make things go very slow. When I get a 156 chance, I will probably release some maps that have been processed properly 157 for this. 158 159 r_mirroralpha 0.3 160 This changes one particular texture (the stained glass texture in the EASY 161 start hall) into a mirror. The value is the opacity of the mirror surface. 162 163

1 2 README for Linux SVGALib Quake 3 ------------------------------ 4 5 Requirements: 6 7 - SVGALib 1.20 or later (/lib/libvga.so.1.2.10) 8 - libc 5.2.18 or later (5.0.9 will not work, /lib/libc.so.5.2.18) 9 - CD-ROM for CDAudio 10 - Soundcard capable of mmap'd buffers. USSLite 3.5.4 was used to build squake 11 with. Works fine on SoundBlaster 16 and Gravis Ultrasound MAX. 12 - SVGALib supported mouse (usually if it works with X, it'll work with 13 squake). 14 - Kernel 2.0.24 or later 15 - untested with 2.1 kernels, your mileage may vary 16 17 Here's the release you've been waiting for. Linux squake supports 18 320x200x256, the various modeX modes (320x400, 360x400, etc) as well as high 19 res modes if your card is supported by SVGALib. Use the Quake console command 20 vid_describemodes to list supported modes and the command vid_mode <number> to 21 change modes. 22 23 Full sound support is included. The default sound rate is 16-bit stereo, 24 11KHz. You can change this in the options section below. 25 26 Mouse works great, but SVGALib may not detect a 3-button mouse properly (it 27 will only use two buttons). Check your /etc/libvga.config (or 28 /etc/vga/libvga.config for SlackWare users). 29 30 **Version 1.1 fixes some crash bugs with the mission packs. 31 32 New Command Line Options for Linux SVGAlib Quake 33 ------------------------------------------------ 34 35 -mem <mb> 36 Specify memory in megabytes to allocate (default is 8MB, which should be fine 37 for most needs). 38 39 -nostdout 40 Don't do any output to stdout 41 42 -mdev <device> 43 Mouse device, default is /dev/mouse 44 45 -mrate <speed> 46 Mouse baud rate, default is 1200 47 48 -cddev <device> 49 CD device, default is /dev/cdrom 50 51 -mode <modenum> 52 Use indicated video mode 53 54 -nokdb 55 Don't initialize keyboard 56 57 -sndbits <8 or 16> 58 Set sound bit sample size. Default is 16 if supported. 59 60 -sndspeed <speed> 61 Set sound speed. Usual values are 8000, 11025, 22051 and 44100. 62 Default is 11025. 63 64 -sndmono 65 Set mono sound 66 67 -sndstereo 68 Set stereo sound (default if supported) 69 70 Installation 71 ------------ 72 73 Boot DOS (I know, but you need it to run the Quake install program) and 74 install Quake from your Quake CD to a DOS parition. 75 76 Boot Linux and make a directory for Quake. Copy everything from the DOS Quake 77 directory into it. i.e.: 78 (cd /dos/quake; tar cf - .) | (cd ~/quake; tar xf -) 79 80 Place squake into your Quake directory. You must make it setuid root (since 81 Quake access stuff like direct video writes, the raw keyboard mode, CD, etc). 82 Quake will setuid back to the normal user as soon as it opens these files. 83 Make Quake suid root as follows: 84 chown root squake 85 chmod 4755 squake 86 87 Run squake. I don't recommend running it as root, since all the saved 88 config.cfg files will be then owned as root. Use your normal account, unless 89 you do everything as root, then your mileage will vary. 90 91 squake may segfault if it tries to initialize your sound card and their isn't 92 one. Same with the CDROM. If it dies, try it with -nosound and/or 93 -nocdaudio. If you have a sound card it died on and you know it is 94 supported by USSLite (the driver that comes with the Linux kernel), let me 95 know and I'll take a look at it. 96 97 It should work with SCSI CDROMs, but is untested. 98 99 Full TCP/IP network support is in, including listen and dedicated server 100 modes. squake makes a nice dedicated server as you don't need the X11 101 libraries kicking around. 102 103 All of the options described in TECHINFO.TXT and MANUAL.TXT from the Quake 104 distribution will work, 'cept for stuff with vid modes and stuff. 105 106 End Notes 107 --------- 108 109 Linux SVGALib Quake is *NOT* an officially supported product. Mail about it 110 will be deleted. Do not email id about this product.
