Title: RC5 and quake questions
Post by: Xumbi on October 07, 2004, 01:12:32 pm: Quake at 15fps! Wow, I really want to try this RC, but I noticed xmms isn't in the feed

I guess I'll have to wait...

Does that mean we'll be able to run the full version of Quake? Does anyone know how much space it takes up?

You will need, as a bare minimum, the following:

- A Pentium 90 or better (133 recommended) computer
- 16 MB RAM (24 recommended)
- The Quake CD-ROM or the shareware version (quake106.zip)
- Linux kernel version 2.0.24 or later
- libc 5.2.18 or later
- One of the following:
- X11R5 or later (for xquake)
- SVGAlib 1.2.0 or later (for squake and glquake)
- 30-80 megabytes free disk space (depends on how you install)
- Access to the root account of the machine you're installing on

Looks like Quake is on the way to Zaurus...

Laze : You and your guys are great ! I wish i could give you lots of money, but i can't for now. I'll click your baneers as often as i can, but is there another way to fhelp ?

Post by: Xumbi on October 08, 2004, 10:50:46 am: This is great, fullscreen Quake (well, stretched 320x240, which still looks good) running running at 20fps!

Now, why can't we get Doom running fullscreen at these speeds? There must be a way to tweak prboom to stretch the image, rather than trying to generate 640x480 pixels.

Post by: jabbath on October 08, 2004, 12:06:39 pm: Where's the problem?
Just run
"xrandr -s 320x240&&prboom&&xrandr -s640x480"
(create script or whatever)..

It runs fine.

Perfect! From your advice I was able to make this script:
Code: [Select]
#!/bin/sh export SDL_NOMOUSE=1 xrandr -s 320x240&&/usr/share/quake/quake -fullscreen -nocdaudio -nomouse -noautostretch -particles 100 -basedir /usr/share/quake -winsize 320 240&&xrandr -s 640x480This gives me fullscreen Quake from within X at 15fps!

Now to find a way to hook a mouse up to this thing...

EDIT: Uh... I do realize my initial question was concerning running Doom in fullscreen, but I jumped the gun and applied this to Quake. I made similar shortcuts for each of my Doom games (2, Ultimate, Final) and it worked great!

Title: RC5 and quake questions
Post by: Laze on October 09, 2004, 04:24:01 am: I have only tried playing over TCP/IP in my home wireless network - no problems..

I have the original full quake - installed it on my PC and copied the pak files to zaurus. Ran the PC quake and started a multiplayer game and the on the zaurus started and entered my PC name in the bottom field. Everything worked fine - i haven't been able to find any internet game servers to try on - so if you know of anyone please let me know or maybe we could setup one :-)

I have also tried using the Zaurus as Quake "server" without any problem.

http://www.pdaxrom.org/screenshots/quake/ (http://www.pdaxrom.org/screenshots/quake/)

Ran it under X and ssh'ed into the Zaurus and ran:
Code: [Select]
a=1; while sleep 5; do xwd -display :0 -root -out `printf screenshot%04d.xwd $a`; a=$[$a+1]; done

I just tried that with quake running in a window, it gave me the same error as before. I guess you just can't take screenshots that way.

Oh well, how about some video (http://67.15.40.12/~b3m3t4l/video/zQuake.avi) instead!!

Post by: Laze on October 10, 2004, 03:22:22 am: As long as i SSH i have no problems taking screenshots - but if you do it locally on the machine it fails..

Post by: Foxdie on October 12, 2004, 01:41:03 am: *starts to cry* ohmygod that's so sweet, the video REALLY gives an indication of how fast it's running now. I remember trying that exact level and getting... 2 fps?

Well done

Title: RC5 and quake questions
Post by: Laze on October 18, 2004, 05:45:29 am: No need to compile anything.. You can download the IPK from http://mirror1.pdaxrom.org/rc5/feed/ (http://mirror1.pdaxrom.org/rc5/feed/)

Post by: macwiz on October 18, 2004, 09:19:24 am: Laze, what feed is this a mirror of?

Oh - how silly of me. So I've been tweaking the 1.0.5 version of pdaXrom all weekend when I should have been messing with rc5... - sorry.
Title: RC5 and quake questions
Post by: Laze on October 18, 2004, 11:35:06 am: Not a mirror of anything - thats the "default" feed that we have compiled..
