README for Linux SVGALib Quake
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Requirements:
|
||||
|
||||
- SVGALib 1.20 or later (/lib/libvga.so.1.2.10)
|
||||
- libc 5.2.18 or later (5.0.9 will not work, /lib/libc.so.5.2.18)
|
||||
- CD-ROM for CDAudio
|
||||
- Soundcard capable of mmap'd buffers. USSLite 3.5.4 was used to build squake
|
||||
with. Works fine on SoundBlaster 16 and Gravis Ultrasound MAX.
|
||||
- SVGALib supported mouse (usually if it works with X, it'll work with
|
||||
squake).
|
||||
- Kernel 2.0.24 or later
|
||||
- untested with 2.1 kernels, your mileage may vary
|
||||
|
||||
Here's the release you've been waiting for. Linux squake supports
|
||||
320x200x256, the various modeX modes (320x400, 360x400, etc) as well as high
|
||||
res modes if your card is supported by SVGALib. Use the Quake console command
|
||||
vid_describemodes to list supported modes and the command vid_mode <number> to
|
||||
change modes.
|
||||
|
||||
Full sound support is included. The default sound rate is 16-bit stereo,
|
||||
11KHz. You can change this in the options section below.
|
||||
|
||||
Mouse works great, but SVGALib may not detect a 3-button mouse properly (it
|
||||
will only use two buttons). Check your /etc/libvga.config (or
|
||||
/etc/vga/libvga.config for SlackWare users).
|
||||
|
||||
**Version 1.1 fixes some crash bugs with the mission packs.
|
||||
|
||||
New Command Line Options for Linux SVGAlib Quake
|
||||
------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
-mem <mb>
|
||||
Specify memory in megabytes to allocate (default is 8MB, which should be fine
|
||||
for most needs).
|
||||
|
||||
-nostdout
|
||||
Don't do any output to stdout
|
||||
|
||||
-mdev <device>
|
||||
Mouse device, default is /dev/mouse
|
||||
|
||||
-mrate <speed>
|
||||
Mouse baud rate, default is 1200
|
||||
|
||||
-cddev <device>
|
||||
CD device, default is /dev/cdrom
|
||||
|
||||
-mode <modenum>
|
||||
Use indicated video mode
|
||||
|
||||
-nokdb
|
||||
Don't initialize keyboard
|
||||
|
||||
-sndbits <8 or 16>
|
||||
Set sound bit sample size. Default is 16 if supported.
|
||||
|
||||
-sndspeed <speed>
|
||||
Set sound speed. Usual values are 8000, 11025, 22051 and 44100.
|
||||
Default is 11025.
|
||||
|
||||
-sndmono
|
||||
Set mono sound
|
||||
|
||||
-sndstereo
|
||||
Set stereo sound (default if supported)
|
||||
|
||||
Installation
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
Boot DOS (I know, but you need it to run the Quake install program) and
|
||||
install Quake from your Quake CD to a DOS parition.
|
||||
|
||||
Boot Linux and make a directory for Quake. Copy everything from the DOS Quake
|
||||
directory into it. i.e.:
|
||||
(cd /dos/quake; tar cf - .) | (cd ~/quake; tar xf -)
|
||||
|
||||
Place squake into your Quake directory. You must make it setuid root (since
|
||||
Quake access stuff like direct video writes, the raw keyboard mode, CD, etc).
|
||||
Quake will setuid back to the normal user as soon as it opens these files.
|
||||
Make Quake suid root as follows:
|
||||
chown root squake
|
||||
chmod 4755 squake
|
||||
|
||||
Run squake. I don't recommend running it as root, since all the saved
|
||||
config.cfg files will be then owned as root. Use your normal account, unless
|
||||
you do everything as root, then your mileage will vary.
|
||||
|
||||
squake may segfault if it tries to initialize your sound card and their isn't
|
||||
one. Same with the CDROM. If it dies, try it with -nosound and/or
|
||||
-nocdaudio. If you have a sound card it died on and you know it is
|
||||
supported by USSLite (the driver that comes with the Linux kernel), let me
|
||||
know and I'll take a look at it.
|
||||
|
||||
It should work with SCSI CDROMs, but is untested.
|
||||
|
||||
Full TCP/IP network support is in, including listen and dedicated server
|
||||
modes. squake makes a nice dedicated server as you don't need the X11
|
||||
libraries kicking around.
|
||||
|
||||
All of the options described in TECHINFO.TXT and MANUAL.TXT from the Quake
|
||||
distribution will work, 'cept for stuff with vid modes and stuff.
|
||||
|
||||

Linux SVGALib Quake is *NOT* an officially supported product. Mail about it
|
||||
will be deleted. Do not email id about this product. If you are having
|
||||
technical difficultly, you can email me, but make sure you have the correct
|
||||
