Re: Quake 3 on N900
 
i finally got it to work! . didnt have to use gpe at all . i kept using my computer to move the files . instead of putting the .pak files in the baseq3 folder i put them in the root folder . then i used n900's file manager to move the files into the baseq3 folder and it works now . :) . was playing via local server with my friend hosting on his iphone 3gs . now if only there was a way to up the gfx settings without crashing :)

I use SSHserver and WinSCP, works very sweeet!

Install SSH server with your N900 via repositories
http://winscp.net install it on you pc.

NOTE: I have just put this together in one place and do not take credit for the work of the users that have already mentioned the following but in separate places including: qgil, omcfadde, jcwilk

BEFORE YOU START READ THE FOLLOWING WARNING:


If you are confident you want to continue then....
  • On your N900 open the web browser and goto http://repository.maemo.org/
  • Click on install next to "Fremantle Extras-Deval" which is half way down the page (WARNING - Do not install unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing and have fully read and understood the above information from qgil)
  • Give it a few seconds and it should load up the application manager, click on add and it should update the catalogue automatically
  • Goto the games sub-menu and find ioquake3 and install it
    - If you get an error installing and it asks for "Libgles1-sgx-img", it is because you have disabled some of the other repositories, make sure you keep the default ones enabled all the time!!
  • Connect your N900 to the PC in mass storage mode and make a folder called "baseq3" in the root directory and then copy the *.pk3 files from your Quake 3 CD into it.
  • In X-Terminal type the following (this should show a list of files about 4 files/folders):
    Code:

    ls /home/user/.q3a/baseq3/
  • In x-Terminal type the following to move the files to the hidden folder:
    Code:

    mv /home/user/MyDocs/baseq3/* /home/user/.q3a/baseq3/
  • In X-Terminal type the following (this should now show the *.pk3 files):
    Code:

    ls /home/user/.q3a/baseq3/

Everything should now work fine, so just load up Quake 3 and it should work straight away.
(When it asks for the CD Key just press the enter key twice)

NOTE: The game is still very buggy so don't expect it to work as you want it to.

Some useful keys:
Fn (Blue Arrow) + Ctrl/Sym = Open/Close console.
Fn + , (Next to backspace) = Esc (aka Menu)
Space = Jump
Ctrl/Sym = Fire
T = Talk (press enter to come out of this)
Fn + 1 = Weapon 1 (2,3,4,5, etc will change to weapon 2,3,4,5,etc)
A = Side step left
D = Side spep right
Up (On direction keys on the right) = move forward (same as tilting phone forward)
Down (on direction keys on the right) = move backwards (same as tilting phone backwards)

You can customise the above commands to how you want in the options i.e. change side step to the direction keys!

Hope this helps and if I have missed anything just let me know!

Hiya, Id like some help please!

So I installed ioquake and I have the Quake 3 icon on my menu.

I created a folder called baseq3 on the N900. Its in the root, so just as you plug in the N900 into the PC, and you see all the .folder folders. I created the a folder called baseq3 in that area. I copied the 2 pk3 files into that folder

When I run the command

Code:

ls /home/user/.q3a/baseq3/
It doesnt show all the files from ioquake? Infact all it shows is an crash log from Quake 3 when I tried to run it.

I then run the mv command, and it fails.

Any ideas on what i am doing wrong?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 
snaps, for me too the baseq3 folder had only the crashlog in it.
Try to copy your pak files to home/user/.q3a/baseq3 with gpe file manager
to access the hidden q3a folder type /home/user/.q3a/baseq3 in the address bar and then hit paste
