Getting Qrack to compile in Linux (Ubuntu 9.10) Video included!

[rambo]

The original download link was broken, I've pointed the new download link in the guide to Quakeone.com's file section where you can download the Qrack 1.60.1 source code.

r00k: sourcecode from a newer version?!?!

I'd like to put Ubuntu on my old machine and let it run quake 1 last time

I think you have to actually cd into the dir and exec from there.

Check your permissions and see that it has exec rites.

Ill try this, did everything else.

Otherwise you will need to make an installer like we did earlier in this thread.
Phen may still have the deb if you are lucky,but I built it under Lucid so IDK if it will work for you.

Check your permissions and see that it has exec rites.
Here is a link for a bash sript to set up the sound and execute the client on Karmic.

Also XQF is a nice gui for qstat that makes most of this redundant

IDK it wont launch from the TERMINAL even tho I put in the full path.

Well why not?

Cant run in full screen, Help! using Ubuntu 11.10.

I think the stuttering is mouse accel related
also it acts choppy until you join a map for some reason.

I am now running the OSS4 sound drivers on lucid. 10.04
Sound works fine for now.

vid_vsync 0
cl_maxfps 200 (etc)

cvarlist shows more console variables, and cmdlist shows commands list

Actually though, Qrack is lacking in the linux department but a suitable replacement would be Quore http://quore.free.fr/

Hey, thanks for your help guys - the problem was that I was compiling the 1.90 source instead of 1.6. It was late and I was tired - hadn't dealt with it until yesterday when I re-read the topic about 1.6. Checked and I had downloaded 1.9.

Anyway, compile went fine and quake launches successfully. I noticed that it is ever so slightly choppy when I move around(singleplayer and multiplayer). I also notice that when using show_fps 1, Framerate stays at a solid 72. When I do a timedemo, I get somewhere in the 800 range. I searched around the qrack commands and couldn't seem to find a way (as with pq_maxfps) to increase this. I'm not sure the choppiness can be attributed to the 72 fps. It's more like a very quick stuttering. Any ideas?

[bluntz]

it might be permissions, it said it couldn't write.or maybe dir doesn't exist to write to.
Did you say Fedora? If I remember right your path is /usr/local while ubu is
just /usr maybe something there.

[Spike]

run it through valgrind or gdb (warning: valgrind, ati, and direct rendering is spammy as heck, and not recommended)

[R00k]

do you have a /qrack folder in the /quake folder?

it doesnt find your qrack specific media,

Couldn't load corona0 image
Couldn't load particlefont image
Couldn't load water_caustic image
Couldn't load solidskytexture image
Couldn't load alphaskytexture image
Couldn't load blood_splat01 image
Couldn't load blood_splat02 image
Couldn't load blood_splat03 image
Couldn't load explo_burn01 image
Couldn't load particle_burn01 image
Couldn't load glow2 image

. Could be the problem

Got a slightly new issue to post:

Currently using Fedora - dependencies are all installed, albeit under different names.

Qrack compile goes just fine, no errors.
All files, pak, id1 etc are all lowercase.

Problem happens after copying the glx and sdl over to the quake directory.
Issuing ./qrack-sdl or ./qrack-glx (with or without fullscreen) I get this particular issue. Qrack starts up, and I get the opening sound and a flash of the menu but immediately crashes with the following:

[cbell@fedorahome quake]$ ./qrack-sdl

[02]The Abandoned Base
Received signal 11, exiting...
Couldn't write config.cfg

This all happens fairly instantaneously and every *once* in a while I am able to hit escape for the menu fast enough for qrack to stay open for a few seconds longer. Signal 11 is typically some type of memory allocation error.

Any ideas guys?

I know, im hoping by june 22nd to have 2.0 on windows, linux, and osx.

Music to my ears!

I'll be one of your first testers!

P.S Your avatar is hilarious! (seen the video )
