Q3Demo Test For Linux

Saw over at Slashdot that the Linux Quake III Arena Demo Test (how's that for a title?) has been released over at the Q3 Demo Page. Here they are in RPM packaging and good old tarball format. Also just in case you were in a hole somewhere, here's the Win32 and Mac versions. Everybody go here and talk amongst yourselves.

  • damnit, i think i have to agree with #94. i thought UT was going to suck (as Unreal did), but i find it a hell of a lot more fun than i led myself to believe it would be.

    (it makes me sick to admit this too - oh my GOD how i hated Unreal)

    but the weapons impress me now, (i.e. no sissy sounding crystal gun), and the secondary fire on the weapons makes for some interesting battles. haven\'t played online yet, but this 37.3 connection keeps me from doing that too often anyways. (oh, poor me - i know) ;^)

    can\'t wait for Q3, got my advance order from blue\'s waiting for me at release, but i have to admit, it\'s certainly got a HELL of a lot more competition than i previously thought. UT bashers say what you like, but i don\'t think that you\'d be getting so upset if you didn\'t see it as a \"threat\" to the everholy id.

    lets face it, id\'s been tops for SO long, it\'s about time that they got the fire under their ass to make sure that they release a good game. so all should give Epic the respect that they deserve, even if you hate UT, because now id has to try even harder to win us all over. that way, we all win. let\'s hear it for co-existence!

    sorry... i\'ll shut up now. ciao!

  • #81, i have a sound balster16, very old...i dont actually know if its the sound that freezes, but basically what i get is a white screen with the sound looping if i try to start q3 without first running q3_1.08 or restarting my computer...

    i have a p2-300, TNT, and 96mb ram...the demo runs great for me otherwise...

    ive never played a game as much as ive been playing q3a single player...must...get...higher...accuracy...award...

    shit, ive got a midterm on monday, id is a bunch of bastards...if i flunk out of school they better give me a job...
















  • Getting back to Quake 3, If you want to start a single player team match without messing with the menu, try this:
    Save teamplay.cfg in your demoq3 folder, and start q3 like this:
    quake3.exe +exec teamplay.cfg

    You can edit each of the bots skill levels independently... works for me!

    // start teamplay.cfg

    seta cg_drawTeamOverlay 1
    seta g_quadfactor 2
    seta g_weaponrespawn 3
    seta g_gametype 3 // teamplay
    set fraglimit 100
    map q3dm7
    addbot sarge 5 blue;wait;wait
    addbot grunt 4 blue;wait;wait
    addbot visor 4 red;wait;wait
    addbot stripe 5 red;wait;wait
    addbot major 4 red;wait;wait
    wait;wait;team blue
    wait;say_team I am the team leader

    // end teamplay.cfg
