If this isn't your first fucking day of using GNU/Linux it should be trivial. Just run it as usual.

>>15477270

If I'm asking then it clearly is my first day you dumb sack of shit

I installed Linux 3 days ago

This isn't /tech/support. The only thing you will find here are my repeating digits.

>>15477273

What distro did you install? its asking for a bunch of dependencies. These are usually installed automatically when you install via the package manager and most standalone programs are statically linked so they don't have external dependencies.

The problem can be fixed though, I just need to know what distro since there are several different package managers.

>>15477280

I'm on ubuntu.

The readme says to go to the folder and run make but when I do it just tells me

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

>>15477283

make is for compiling the game from source while you probably downloaded a pre-compiled binary, gimme a sec since I am unfamiliar with Quakepasm

>>15477290

I'm unsure how to install those libraries and as said here >>15477283 make doesn't do anything

>>15477293

since centos is simlar to fedora, open up the terminal, use yum (the package manager) to install the following libraries

libSDL-1.2, libmad, libvorbis, libogg, libvorbisfile.

you didn't need to compile anything, install those fucking libraries, as you already have executeables laid out for you

>>15477296

It just tells me I don't have any repos enabled. Which repos have these libraries?

>>15477289

Ok, so there are two executable files in that folder, quakepasm and quakepasm-sdl2 (one for SDL and one for SDL2). I dont know what Ubuntu comes with by default so here is what you need to do to install libSDL2 as well as the other dependencies.

>open a terminal

>type "sudo apt install libSDL-2.0-0" pressing tab while you are typing the name of the package will either complete the name or give you a list of suggestions

>press enter, you will then need to type in your password

>repeat for libvorbis and libogg, choose the "-dev" version just to be sure (libvorbis-dev and libogg-dev)

This should install the required dependencies, then you should be able to run the game by double clicking the quakepasm-sdl2 icon (you may need to make it executable first)

>>15477308

libSDL-2.0-0 doesn't exist and tab doesn't bring up the message to show me any suggestions, despite working if I write just "lib"

>>15477313

There are a massive number of packages named "lib[something]", try writing "libsdl" before hitting tab. I forgot that ubuntu is case sensitive so make sure its all lower case.

>>15477322

Also if it doesn't autocomplete you have to double tap tab to get the suggestions, the reason is because sometimes there can be a huge amount of things which it could be and they made it so accidentally hitting tab wont flood the terminal with a massive list of suggestions.

>>15477328

>>15477322

Sorry I hadn't realised that it was case sensitive. Installed all the dependencies including libmad-dev but double clicking doesn't seem to do anything

I checked and the it is already marked as an executable

>>15477345

run it in a terminal to see if any error messages pop up

>>15477352

I'm unsure how to do that

I tried

quakepasm

quakepasm-sdl2

./quakepasm-sdl2

But all I got were missing command errors

>>15477251

Learn to google. This is baby stuff. I'll ask a more noteworthy question since you made a Quake thread:

Does anyone know how to compile fteqw on OpenBSD? I've been trying off and on for a few weeks, and spike allegedly fixed the makefile, but I'm getting obscure compile errors that are unrelated to missing libraries.

>>15477357

>>15477357

>./quakepasm-sdl2

./quakespasm-sdl2

>>15477345

I just downloaded and ran it on my Ubuntu machine using the terminal and it gave me this output

ERROR-OUT BEGIN


QUAKE ERROR: W_LoadWadFile: couldn't load gfx.wad

Basedir is: /home/carl/quakespasm-0.93.1_amd64

Check that this has an id1 subdirectory containing pak0.pak and pak1.pak, or use the -basedir command-line option to specify another directory.

The TL:DR is quakespasm is just the engine, it doesn't have any of the actual assets since those are copyright of ID software which means sourceforge cant legally host them. Find a copy of the assets aka pirate the game, then make a new folder named "id1" and put the pak0.pak and pak1.pak files into that.

>>15477362

>>15477366

>./quakespasm-sdl2

I'm a retard, it's working now

Thank you anons

>>15477368

>Thank you anons

No problem.

Here's my id1 folder contents OP, slap these in a folder called "id1" and you're good to go, also has the music for the game: https://volafile.org/r/ny4r4jvc

Here are some useful sources for tweaking the look and feel of the game:

https://www.quakewiki.net/archives/console/commands/quake.html

When it comes to running games this is the general procedure:

- Download premade binary.

- Unpack if required.

- Open terminal run ./myshittybinary.

- If it squawks at you for not having the right binaries grab them from package manager.

- If you do have the binary it's probably a 32 bit application so get the 32bit version.

- If you don't have the right OpenGL/GLSL version try forcing your version strings (https://www.mesa3d.org/envvars.html).

- Failing that try fiddling with other environment variables but if the first doesn't work you're usually out of luck.

- If it's on Wine instead look up anyone else who's tried running it and use the Winetricks patches they suggest.

- If there are none just fiddle with it, if you have DX9 issues just install the entire kitchen sink with "winetricks d3dx9", if there are font issues grab corefonts, etc.

If you're instead compiling the game just look up how to compile stuff on linux, which is piss easy since it requires 2, at most 3 commands in the terminal. Also check the readme, if any additional parameters are needed during compilation it will mention them, most of the time it'll provide the command in full and you can just copy+paste.

>not a single windows 10 using sage lmao blaming your inexperience on le gnu/car is shit operating system xDDDD

I'm surprised.

>>15477283

>I'm on ubuntu

>he doesn't know

sudo apt-get install quakespasm

>>15477564

If you insist, here's some bait.

>being a ganoo-stallman advocate

>having any games

stop posting on /v/ and go to tech nerd

>>15477624

It just isn't the same.

just get nquake instead wtf

dood quake sip

1. Download the quakespasm-0.93.1_*.tar.gz, where in place of * will either be linux or amd64 depending on your processor: 32-bit or 64-bit respectively.

2. Extract the archive either with some GUI program or through terminal with tar -xf <path to archive>.

3. Inside the extracted directory will be three files: quakespasm, quakespasm-sdl2 and quakespasm.pak. First two are executable, the actual engine. If they are not – make them, either via your file manager or through terminal with chmod +x <path to quakespasm[-sdl2]>. The last one contains some assets used by the engine, stuff like menu background. If you're going to use engine with the -fitz flag, which disables some of the visual changes, you can delete quakespasm.pak.

4. The engine requires certain packages to function. First, you're going to need either libsdl or libsdl2, depending on which executable you're going to use. The pros and cons of each are not so obvious, so it's better to just try out for yourself and see which one works best. Second, you'll need libraries for music playback: libvorbis0a, libogg0, libvorbisfile3, libmad0. If for some reason I got their names wrong use the package manager to search for correct names, in case of terminal it'll be apt-cache search <keyword>.

5. You install all these packages either by typing sudo apt-get install <package names> or via some GUI package manager (I don't have experience with any).

6. The engine is ready to go. All you need now is the game files: folders id1 for Quake, hipnotic for Mission Pack 1: Scourge of Armagon and rogue for Mission Pack 2: Dissolution of Eternity. Place these folders in the same directory as the executable. Inside these folders the only files you need are *.pak files, delete everything else.

7. For music to work you have to create folder music inside the game directories and put the music files there. QuakeSpasm supports OGG Vorbis and WAVE, not sure about other formats.

In the end your directory should look something like this:

Quake/

id1/

music/

…

pak0.pak

pak1.pak

hipnotic/

music/

…

pac0.pak

rogue/

music/

…

pak0.pak

quakespasm

quakespasm-sdl

quakespasm.pak

After that you can just launch the engine and play the game. For more info on the console commands and how to install mods just read the web.

So what your telling us is you hate niggers. You could have just wrote that instead.

>>15477251

Is there a reason you did not install it through your package manager? Anyway, you seem to be new, so here is a crashcourse.

You don't have to "install" programs on GNU/Linux, you can run them from anywhere. Usually a graphical environment will let you just double-click the executable as long as it has execution permissions.

However, applications usually rely on certain libraries (collections of functionality) to be available on the system. Quakespasm for example needs the SDL libraries (libsdl). Where is it going to find those? There is a standard location defined by the OS and you can add your own paths as well. The easiest way of getting the dependencies is through your package manager. I'm on Ubuntu, so I can type

sudo apt install libsdl

Speaking of package managers, there is the Guix package manager. It takes a bit of work (RTFM) to set it up, but once it's installed it can run independent of your distro's package manager. It also has Quakespasm, so all I had to do was type

guix package -i quakspasm

to get it installed. The nice thing about Guix is that it does not alter your system, unlike other package mangers which spill everything all over the system directories. There is also Nix which does the same (Guix is based on Nix).

>Is there a reason you did not install it through your package manager? Anyway, you seem to be new, so here is a crashcourse.

Gotta be honest I didn't think it would be in the package manager

>>15477283

install gentoo

Why would you use Quakespasm instead of Darkplaces

>>15479165

I don't know, why would I?

What's the difference?

>>15479226

it's mostly just GRAPHICS but personally quake already looks great on its own, you just have to get rid of all those ugly smoothed out textures. It's always best to play as close to vanilla as possible and then branch out to the different stuff

Just a quick question I know it's not exactly connected to the thread but close enough, but does anyone have the link to DOOM iwads?

>>15479334

Honestly this, Quake aged like a fine wine, it's a perfect example of how low polygons and low res textures can create amazing looking levels if you're skilled enough

>>15477695

All it needs is a picture of a car.
