Yes auto-aim. When i found enemy this work.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Have you poked around in the settings? Else I don't really know. Maybe someone else knows how to disable it.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

hmmmmmm.. couldnt disable accelerometer, but if u sit n900 on the right angle you wont move..... then u can use a WiiMote to play -- see vid !!!!!!!


EDIT: Now you can disable autoaim and accelerometer!! see HERE

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

any way to put files in another location instead of the application partition?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

i put the pak files in "/home/user/.q3a/baseq3/"

which is in mass storage already :)

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

DISABLE AUTOAIM:


QUAKE 3: in file /home/user/baseq3/autoexec.cfg
OPENARENA: in file /home/opt/openarena/baseoa/autoexec.cfg

at the bottom, change the section shown below

set the numbers (default: 1) to 0 (zero)

DISABLE ACCELEROMETER:


QUAKE 3: in file /home/user/.q3a/baseq3/q3config.cfg
OPENAREA: in file /home/user/.openarena/baseoa/q3config.cfg

at the bottom, change the section shown below

set the numbers for both "seta accel_epsilon_#" (default: 100) to 9999 as shown:

(do the same with "seta accel_jump" to disable jump)

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Hi gang,

first post in here!
Just bought the N900 and it is a pain to get to know...

I need help...

It is not there...

Any other way i have tried failed..
I have to original pak files so just the game is needed.
What to do?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

I get a error message, "default.cfg could not be loaded". I tried creating a default.cfg file but the error is still there. How should I fix this problem?

And I have tried reinstalling three times but no change.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

copy q3 pak files to

ls /home/user/.q3a/baseq3/


toja92 put the config file in the zip in /home/user/.q3a/baseq3

let me know if that works
.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Getting this error message(in error log):
I only have pak0.pk3, I used to have like 8 more pk3 files but I removed them.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

in home/user/.q3a/baseq3/

i have pak0-pak8 (latest versions) and q3config.cfg

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Hi
I also got my N900 a month ago and been reading this site for some months.

Does this Quake3 version support mods? When I try to load one, the whole app just closes. I really want to try one mod. Secondly, can the author implement aiming with the accelerometer? I used to play Quake 1,2,3 with accelerometer on my N82.... It should work as a mouse, it makes the game much playable.

Have you enabled extras-devel? it's there.
It's not good to install much stuff from there...
Here's the repository details. First go to Application manager > Application catalogs > New

web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/
distribution: fremantle
components: free non-free

Then you'll see ioquake3 in the refreshed list. Hope it helps

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Oh, maybe I should have kept those extra pk3 files. Will test later.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

hmm, pretty sure mods arent supported.. check out quake 1. it supports *a few* mods

http://wardenclyffetower.com/MaemoFi...e/sdlquake.htm


also i was thinking the same thing for aiming... ill have a look

i cannot use the gyro function on my wiimote anymore due to kernel upgrades ive made for sixaxis controller. :(

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Did all that but still no quake3 in my games folder!
But a lot more so it did something.
manage to do it with a deb installer!
Now I seem to need a gpe file manager.
Can't find that either...

I was great at symbian modding/tweaking but this is getting me down!

hahaha, thanx anyway my SF buddy

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Well, I made it!

After 2 hours that is!
But I will get smarter soon boys.

Now a tweak to search for non-auto walk

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

i'd still like to know if i can put game files eslewhere, maybe myDocs?

if any one knows please share

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Did anyone of you guys managed to load a mod pack?

I am running new caracters like Homer, Lara Croft, Green Goblin, Neo and Darth Vader without any issues.
Also the Simpsons map works after some RAM tweaking..

Now busy with that Matrix MOd pack!
Who can help?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

No, you can't

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

haha nice......

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

I can also load custom maps but no mods...

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

add the folder (with mod files inside) into the hidden .q3a folder and the mod appears in the "Mods" list, with the name of the mod folder. When I click "Load" it crashes though...

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

I did this buddy but they don't appear!

I have just talked to the guy who did this one..
He could enable the mods in here but that would probably wouldn't run so smooth.

But how did you make it appear in the game?
I dropped mine as well in hidden .q3a/baseq3

I will try dropping them in .q3a

yes, that worked to show them!

Now let's wait for the creator/porter to add a function...

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

When I attempt to load Quake III, it closes itself after about 5 seconds... why is this?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

you have not put the files in the correct place, see my earlier post for help: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=239

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Sorry I am new to this thread and didn't know I had to do more than just install it.

So I need the Quake III CD and a PC to get this to work? I no longer own Quake III and my PC is currently out of action.

I guess I should uninstall this and forget about it?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

That's an option indeed

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

u need to put some effort in, I would recommend you go through all the posts, all the information you need is there...not everything is always handed out! It's how I figured it out!

and yes if you don't want to put the effort in just uninstall it!

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Just do a Google search for Quake3 .pk3 files. I can't remember if there was a demo/shareware release for Quake3, but if there was then it's an easy download.

If there wasn't, well I hate to admit it, but the commercial .pk3 data files are a pretty easy download too.....

Once you have the data files, make a folder called "baseq3" in your home or memory card top level directories and then copy the *.pk3 files from your Quake 3 CD into it.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

I could put all the effort in the world but if I don't have the CD nor a PC, how am I suppose to do this? thanks to the post below yours, I will search for the files needed but I still need a PC I think to move the files around.

I don't want to look through all pages, that would take a while. I will try this out when my PC is back in action.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Just a simple question:
Which repository is Q3 in ?
Is it optifyied ?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

You totally don't need a PC to do this. Remember, the N900 is a full blown Computer! Just Google search on the N900 for the files from Google. Then you can use the file manager to make the needed directory on your memory card. When you find the files, just save them directly to the directory you just created. No PC needed!

The only scenario where I can see a PC being required is if the files are packed up in an .exe file, which only PCs can extract. If they are in zip, tar, gzip or any other compressed format you can unpack them right on the Nokia.

(unzip utilities are available from extras or extras-devel, or extras-testing, I can't remember. All other compression methods should work from the N900's terminal by default).

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

It's either extras-devel, or extras-testing. Since the data files for this game are loaded by the user in either your home directory (internal mass memory) or the memory card, the optimized status doesn't really affect the space used. The actual binary and config files for Quake 3 that would reside in /usr/bin or /opt/bin are REALLY tiny.

When I was trying to make space on my /root partition for the last OTA update I uninstalled Quake3 and it didn't make any noticeable difference in the root space consumption.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

A full blown PC with a very non user friendly interface when it comes to accessing directories you aren't meant to go in. e.g you can't access system directories from File Manager.

So let's say I have the files, I save them into a newly created folder I just made, how is Quake suppose to know where to look? Does it scan every storage medium? I doubt it. Surely the file has to be placed in a system/game folder???

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

You can typically use zip (or 7z) to extract self-extracting zip files (exe) :)

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

The Quake3 binary is hard coded to look for a quake data file folder called "baseq3" in either the "N900" top level or "Memory Card" top level areas that are visible from your file manager.

Both areas, not matter which one you choose, are fully accessible from the built in GUI file manager. No terminal access needed.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Thanks. I don't think you mentioned the top level bit in your instructions earlier, if you did, i'm sorry.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

or try openarena, just DL and play.. same game just different skins maps guns etc

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

Hello, is there a way to fix the lighting? It appears that the lighting is coded to vertex even though it shows lightmap in settings. The lighting is drastically different, as in missing. if I change the settings, the game crashes.

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

can somebody help me ..... my character keeps turning and turning non stop, i reconfigured the controls to stop running and several combinations but still the character annoyingly keeps turning.

Is there a way to stop it?


here's the scenario:

I played quake the first time, character keeps running, I don't know how to quit the program so I restarted the phone without proper exit, when I played again the turning of character appeared, he just doesn't stop turning.

I uninstalled the program and removed pak files, reinstalled and reloaded pak files still the same thing

please help me!
