hey do you know how to get quake III arena to work on linux? im new so i have no clue?...
i have the windows version, and someone said you could use that?.

badkarma:
You need to download the linux quake binaries (do a search on google)

install those, and copy (or make symlinks to) the pk3 files from your windows quake dir to your linux quake dir.

Make sure your OpenGL is setup correctly, and you're set to go...

Or if yer lazy like Billy Gates    you can go here:

http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/q3a/

Which also states there is a README on the CD itself for how to install it on Linux...

voidmain:
I just installed Quake III on my Linux distro and all I can say is *awesome*!  I have the GeForce2 GTS card and I downloaded the Linux GL drivers from nVidia and installed them (like usual without having to reboot).  Just restarted my Xserver (after making to easy changes to the XF86Config-4 file as in the README).  Then I downloaded and installed the Quake III updated Linux version and installed.  Works perfectly!

BTW, I ran the GL test program "gears" and I was getting over 500 FPS!  How do you check the frame rate in Quake III?

badkarma:
type /cg_drawfps 1 in the console (this works for wolfenstein and seeing that uses the quake 3 engine this will probably be the same)

ow .... my glxgears output (normal sized small window, no nvclock (nvidia overclocking progrram) running)

20644 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4128.800 FPS
24689 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4937.800 FPS

with nvclock:

25701 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5140.200 FPS
27475 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5495.000 FPS
