Yes, the fact to control the view with the accelerometre would be a great thing, it's just coming naturaly, just like when you play with a mouse.
.
Or at least, disconnect the accelerometre when it's going forward and backward, just to keep this move with the keybord.

If someone would be able to help us, it would be a big step in the gaming pleasure ! :)

It wolud be nice if someone post all the key control for Open Arena

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

btw guys i just beated 2 iphones over wifi with my N900 :-)

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Just installed Quake III, it was awesome, but the funny thing is after I quit the game, everything started to get real snappy. The phone actually got faster. Hell even the application manager and Bounce literally jumped. Wonder if it has anything to do with dirty cache being flushed out and more available RAM after Quake took it all.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

just a question...where can i find this Quake guy lol ? I don't see it in Extras-Testing...

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

tried this again...as root...it returns "file exists", quake 3 is not working. whats wrong?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Lol I was wondering why my N900 seem to work faster today . Maybe because I installed Open Arena ?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

If this is true, could someone write an app that runs every 5 minutes that simply flushes all available RAM on the system to keep it running top notch?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Seriously guys, I know I can't prove it, but I am still testing out the speed, even the image folder with over 400 pics scrolls and loads way faster than usual. I haven't rebooted the device in over 18 hours and this is my 2nd recharge (very heavy usage).

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

It sounds like you already have a /home/user/.q3a/baseq3/ directory, to verify that this is the case, type in the following:

It shouldn't return an error but it should display the files in there, I think there's a .cfg file in there or something by default, but as long as it doesn't say "No such file or directory" you're good.

Now, assuming you moved your pk3 files into the baseq3 folder inside of MyDocs as qole suggested, now run this to move them into your quake 3 arena folder where they should go:

(edit: made a mistake :'( )

And that will move all the files from the directory inside MyDocs into your quake 3 arena folder. To verify they're there, you can again run:

and you should see some pk3 files, this is what mine looks like: "crashlog.txt pak0.pk3 pak1.pk3 q3config.cfg q3history"

You should now be able to run quake3 and it should start up pretty quickly asking you for a key, and you just hit enter there. Let us know exactly what happens when you try to run it if it still isn't working.

Sorry if that was too verbose, not sure what your linux experience is :)
