Hi all
Finally i discovered a linux distro that fits to me, but i have small problem with quake3. I dont know how to run different version (1.31+1.32) with one installation like on windows using version switcher.
Have anyone already sortet this? Thx for all your replies.
use quake3.x86 from linux 1.31 and 1.32 installers
First install 1.31 patch to some dir (in my case /home/gamez/Quake3-131), then copy pak0.pk3 from Quake3 CD to /home/gamez/Quake3-131/baseq3). You should be able to run game via 'quake3' command if you have /usr/local/bin in your PATH. If you don't have it you can make a symlink or add /usr/local/bin to your PATH, i'll explain it at the end.
Now install 1.32b patch to another dir (in my case /home/gamez/Quake3-132) and to save some free space on HDD make symlink to pak0.pk3 from 1.31 version (cd /home/gamez/Quake3-132/baseq3; ln -s /home/gamez/Quake3-131/baseq3/pak0.pk3 .).
Once you install 1.32 it'll replace old symlink so if you type quake3 it'll run 1.32 insta of 1.32. To make it work without problems and let you choose which version you wanna play i suggest a little trick:
Go to /usr/bin directory (cd /usr/bin) and as root (su root or using sudo) make required symlinks, for example: ln -s /home/gamez/Quake3-131/quake3 quake3-131 (that's for 1.31, you'll have to type quake3-131 in console to run 1.31 version or make proper shortcut on desktop if you need it) and ln -s /home/gamez/Quake-132/quake3 quake3-132 (that's for 1.32, same as before but command is quake3-132 to run this version).
If you can't jump on root account and have sudo enabled simply type sudo before all commands and use your password to confirm (sudo ln -s /home/gamez/Quake3-131/quake3 quake3-131).
It's way easier than it looks like and works without any problems.
Ok thx for your replies. First time I installed 1.32 because I didnt know that 1.31 version is available too. actually I dont need 1.32, cos I play only efreeze, I had removed it and installed only 1.31 as soon as i discovered on net.
Satan, u noob, u must play CWs with K&D on 1.32 ffs! kthxbi i own you
