Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Hi !
I'll have my N900 tomorow and I would like to install this game. Would it be possible to open a new thread like "N900 - How to install Quake" ? and give as a first post the way to install it step by step for the new N900 users ?
It would be very nice of you guys that know how to do this :)

Thanx a lot for your work, i'm reading everyday this forum, that is the best for me !

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Now for the real question... can the N900 run DOOM? :P

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Someone hook up "Urban Terror"

Its based on Q3, and is much fun......

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

One more video with OpenArena on N900:

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

The auto-aim looks a bit jarring, but otherwise all very smooth.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Thanks for the memories, used to play a lot of dm on that map 13 years ago.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Playing OpenArena on my new N900.....Stone me thats impressive! Online play!!!! Jeez. Incredible. And pretty damn good frame rates too.

I'll need to turn off the accelerometer though I think, prefer just using the keyboard.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

I think that it is possible to train to use accelerometer. Not habitual, but possible.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Attach a Wiimote or a Zeemote?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

wow.

Im not sure why this got to page 15

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

is this auto-aim something that is implementable in all Q3 based games?

I ask, because if so, a whole host of Q3 based FPS games would become playable on the n900.

Warsow
Tremulous
Urban Terror
World of Padman

to name but a few, but they are all which FPS's designed for mouse and keyboard, and would all need an auto-aim function in order to be fun to play on the n900.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

No. If they are using something q3 related, it's heavily modified and not open source

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

and they are not to my knowledge open-sourced, so they cannot simply be recompiled for the n900. as the ones i mention can.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Am i the only one with issues on the accelerometer?
If i just start a game with device on plain the char spins left continuously, i have to tilt n900 by 45° right to have it stop spinning.
Is there any way to calibrate it? I cannot play with hw keyboard as italian layout differs a lot, we have up/down keys in 2nd fnc...
I know i may change sw keyboard layout but i would really like to play with accelerometer.
On the other hand Bounce is running fine, so i think this is a mess with openarena only.
Any help? :)
Tks.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Is there a way to turn the accelerometer off in OpenArena?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

I can't get this to work.
Here's my efforts so far (i'm linux newbie)
installed rootsh to gain superuser priviledges
typed sudo gainroot in termina
installed using command dpkg -i
1st installed data package
2nd installed the app itself

and i ended up with error 'openarena depends on liggles1-sgx-img however it's not installed'

What am I doing wrong here?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

i also tried this (guess without root), did not receive an error in X Terminal, and I do have an quake3-arena icon in the menu, but the game is not starting...nothing more than a black screen...

(before this I installed ioquake3 from extra-devel repository)

i used a plain baseq3 (v.1.11) and modified the q3config.cfg to widescreen and 840*480...

should I use another point release of quake3 (like 1.32) or are there other steps needed to run the game on the N900?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

is there syntax to UNLINK these folders, out of interest?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

I forgot to mention that I was talking about openarena from extras-devel.
The app starts but doesn't load.
Could it be that theres no opengl es1 libraries on retail version of n900?

here's a paste from terminal:
/home/user # dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/openarena_0.8.1-maemo1_armel.deb
(Reading database ... 25448 files and directories currently installed.)

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

I have a probjem with OpenArena in the 1st level in Tier 2 (OA_DM2) at N900.
There ara a lot of lags and every time the game stops and exits to homescreen.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

hi, this is great! where to buy or download?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHSZfhY25Jc

sent from my brand new n900 :)

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

I found it in devel's repository.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Sorry for being so impatient, but I'm stil lost what to do with the missing libgles1-sgx-img that's preventing me from running open arena.
There doesn't seem to be any such library in extras-testing nor in extras-devel.
Dunno if the partcular library has been renamed in the retail version of n900 or if it's - 4 some uncomprehensive reason - removed.
Help anyone?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Did you install openarena through Application Manager. If not, please do so.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

I would if I could, but I can't get extras-devel catalogue working in App Manager.
Someone already said that extras-devel is experiencing some indexing ( :confused: ) problems.
Is there a way to install it with app manager using a local file?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Try it again later, that's the easiest way.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

I did and it worked. Performance is an issue though. I'm getting somewhere around 15 fps...

Does the normal q III arena perform any better?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

do you have 42-11 firmware? it shold be faster than that, depends on map though. You could try to reboot too. Q3 is faster

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Yep. That's the firmware revision.
Is the screen resolution fixed or does the device scale resolutions higher and lover than the native?
If so I probably should try to get my hands on the config file.

I tweaked the graphical settings and now i'm getting around 20 fps which is enough.

Another problem is the accelerometer movement. First of all - it's terribly positioned so that the player character stands still when you hold the device upright.

Second I'd actually want to try some other configurations like aiming with accelerometer and moving/shooting w keyboard.

Or just disable the darn thing and use just kb and touchscreen.
Oh and another question: can you somehow change the mouse from this joystick-kind-of-mode to linear mode so I could aim with it like I would aim with a normal mouse.

just got my *** handed to me by some easy bots :D

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

ok.. i enjoy this game... but im i stupid that i cant exit the game?? how do you exit this game or go back to menu.??

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

this config makes more sense to me! How do we get it done?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Help... :(

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Use W, A, S, D buttons they should work by default. Atleast they do for me.

EDIT: As for the accelerometer, I dont know how to fix this. Does accelerometer games like enigma work correctly for you?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Do mods work? There is a DBZ and Gundam mods for Q3 that I want to try...

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

is Quake in extras-testing yet or is it still in devel

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Hello! I see that Quake 3 can be installed in n900, but I don't know how to do it? Can you explain me it? I'm from Poland, so I could overlook something.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Install ioquake and openarena from extras-devel.

The repo had trouble earlier on, and was giving the libgles install error.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

I got this to occur the second time I played Open Arena. I thought it could be a bug with the autoaim.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

You have to center the aim using the stylus on the touchscreen.

I had a problem with always looking up, and realised.

Then accelerometer works great!
