Okay, so maybe there's some corruption on one of the install files. Clean it out to start anew. From xterm as root: (and for the love of god be careful with these recursive purge commands as root)

rm -Rf /home/user/.duke3d
rm -Rf /media/mmc1/share/duke3d/*
dpkg -r duke3d

Then re-download the .deb file and the .grp file.

Now reinstall:

dpkg -i duke3d_1.5.8-0maemo2_armel.deb

Move the newly downloaded duke3d.grp file to the /media/mmc1/share/duke3d directory and keep everything lowercase.

Try and launch the game.

I had actually done all that before the last posts.

Okay I found this same game.con error:

http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=80584

Here they claim that's harmless to the game however I don't get this warning when I start the game and you can I should be using the exact same game data and .deb files so.....

Please remove your duke3d directory but DON'T uninstall the .deb file.

rm -Rf /media/mmc1/share/duke3d

Now replace it with a copy of mine:

http://www.besh.com/~chad/duke3d.tgz

Move the *.tgz file to /media/mmc1/share
then execute:

tar -zxvf duke3d.tgz

Now try and run the game.

Tnx!!!!!

I got the package installed and running but can't navigate the menu, no keys seem to move the choice. How do I select "start game"?

By default with a US keyboard layout, the up and down arrow keys move through the menu options and the Enter key selects.

Like I said in the first post, there is no ESC key on the N900 to back up through the menus or bring up the in game menu so that's where a blue tooth keyboard or keyboard input over VNC would come in handy.

what is fps compared to ukki's build on n8x0?

I can't tell exacrly as I never ran it on my N810 but coming from the Nokia E90 Duke3D runs a bit slower because of the larger resolution of the N900 I think.

See my you tube video of the game running on the N900 to get an ideal of the speed.

WARNING: Do not enable extras-devel if you don't know what you are doing. Software there can be dangerous and force you to reflash your phone.

Duke 3D is now available for the N900 in the extras-devel. It requires the duke3d.grp from the original game. Connect your N900 to your computer, create a folder "duke3d" and copy the duke3d.grp inside the duke3d folder.

Game has accelerometers support but by default controls differ a little from quake3. Use accelerometers to move forward/backward and strafe. Place your right index finger (or thumb) on screen and use it to aim and change direction. Place your thumb on proximity sensor to shoot and use volume up/down to jump and switch weapon. Doors open with space.

This is just by default. Accelerometers are binded to keys wsad and proximity sensor to f, so you can bind them like normal keys to whatever you wish. I also added menu options for both accelerometers and proximity sensor if you want to disable them.

Esc is emulated by pressing shift-backspace.

Do not try to install the shareware-version. It depends on package that is not available for the N900 yet. Shareware version now works. Enjoy!

Accelerometers kick *ss. Needs some time to get into it, but after a while i dont want to play without it.

Thanks a lot ukki
