did you make sure to make the quake/id1 directories lower case?

Sure did. Recopied everything a few times as well. No luck :(

Yea, looks like the sdlquake-reset script might have wrong paths... although thats really optional... it should have ran anyways.

I should have done this all along but try downloading the data files from :
http://wardenclyffetower.com/MaemoFi...e/quake_sw.zip

Rename or delete any quake directory you have on mmc and then unzip that to root of mmc card and it should run on fresh install of mmc versions, without xterm... and it includes the autoexec.cfg. Then just add your pak1.pak to that directory.

If that doesnt work you should type sdlquakepxd in xterm and post the results.

That seemed to do the trick pipepline!

Erm, well only for the first portal on the left? If I go to the second level it just locks up... thats odd. Maybe my pak1.pak is bad? Its odd though that it works fine on the computer.

And perhaps a little feature request :D

Is it possible to have a bigger icon for the 2008 touch menu? Or is there a trick to resizing it. Lol, yes I'm crazy.

In xterm, type :
ls -l /media/mmc2/quake/id1 and tell me the pak1.pak line.

I'd make sure the case matches what pak1.pak uses and if non-fat filesystem then make sure permissions on that file are readable by user.

If i copy over my retail pak1.pak (lowercase) it reads out as 34257856 bytes with -rw-r--r-- permissions

About icon, yep i have sample installer to work with now, i might redo some packages to have large icons... not sure how that will affect 2007 users though.

my pak1.pak is 34362201 with -rw-r--r-- permissions

i wish i had my original disc... its long gone, my stupid friend scratched it and i had the entire development team's signatures on it... won it at a trade show many many years ago... well before quake came out too. i was totally pimpin with that disc lol.

edit:

wow i was playing the first level through messing with settings.. this thing rapes the battery!!! might have to get an extra pack if im going to be playing a lot :)

Re: Quake 1 now running!
 
Ok so if you replace both paks, what happens if launched from xterm using :
sdlquakepxd

Could be that your (prerelease?) quake cd has pak files of different version number than retail.

as far as battery goes i never noticed that... could be reboots did that... as mentioned in other threads i've noticed a few reboots will shave some bars off that battery quick.

Re: Quake 1 now running!
 
ive been rebooting a lot due to the crashes, thats odd how it would kill the battery so quickly. i suppose that is the cause, though i wonder why?

i'll try to attain a fresh copy since I technically own 2 copies of the game, both win and mac.

Re: Quake 1 now running!
 
thanks pipeline, looks like my pak files were messed up somehow. everything is working perfectly now :)

can't wait for your '08 install packages :D maybe we'll all play on a tablet server sometime... would be hilarious to spectate since we'd all have gimp controls

If anyone wants to try out an alternate keymapping for n810 devices, i've got an updated autoexec.cfg you can try out.

I havent updated my installers yet but you can download it here :
http://wardenclyffetower.com/MaemoFi...e/autoexec.cfg

and put that in your quake/id1 directory (Ready2Run users put in /usr/lib/sdlquake/id1)

810 has weird controls not so good for gaming but i think i made it as good as it can... if you have better ideas let me know.

OK HOWS THIS (although you kind of have to try this to get a feel for it)

By default 810 is just setup for keyboard mode (+stylus if you need it)... keyboard mode feels like old quake days :) In this (default) mode :
DPad Left/Right : Strafe Left/Right
DPad Up/Down : Forward /Backward
DPad Enter : Fire
Q : Next Weap
A : Look Up
Z : Look Down
P : Look Left
BACKSPACE : Look Right
ENTER : Fire (so both dpad enter and enter fires your choice)
SPACE : Jump

In addition to this i added a non-default 810 mode which you can get to by hitting the menu key once (its second mode)... in this mode you can close the keyboard and do most things :
FULLSCREEN : Move Forward
Zoom Out : Fire
Zoom In : NextWeap

Once you've put it into 810Mode then both keyboard and no-keyboard are simulateneous so you can pop out keyboard at times and close at others if thats what you wanted to do.

Unless i hear other suggestions i will bundle this autoexec into new packages (probably next week) and make a new minor revision which i can also put in repo.

If anyone has a cool 64x64 icon for quake let me know otherwise i'll probably end up with a q1 logo similar to the q2 logo.
