Quake Server README
|
||
|
|
===================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ok, this one definately falls into the "I had some time one Sunday
|
||
|
|
afternoon..." category.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This port allows you to host Quake network games on your FreeBSD machine.
|
||
|
|
It uses the Intel/Linux version of Quake, so it depends upon the linux
|
||
|
|
compatibility libraries, and requires that you are running a fairly recent
|
||
|
|
2.2-current with Linux emulation turned on. For more details about getting
|
||
|
|
Linux emulation running in the kernel/OS, refer to chapter 21 of the FreeBSD
|
||
|
|
Handbook.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This installs the v1.01 shareware version of Quake, and the required files
|
||
|
|
to automate a server. If you have purchased the registered version of Quake
|
||
|
|
and wish to host a registered server, take the files from the ID1/
|
||
|
|
subdirectory of your installed version of Quake, and put them into the id1/
|
||
|
|
subdirectory of /usr/local/quakeserver. Be sure to make the filenames
|
||
|
|
lowercase.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE: I'm not sure how this will work with the v1.06 version of registered
|
||
|
|
quake. Currently, I can't get the intel loader to work with the 1.06 game
|
||
|
|
files, so I'm not optimistic. YMMV.

||

Credits to iD for creating a great game, and to Dan Nelson
|
||
|
|
<dnelson@emsphone.com> for creating the expect script that wraps around the
|
||
|
|
server in case it crashes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that this port can technically be used to play Quake under X, but I
|
||
|
|
don't recommend it. It's slow, small, and prone to crashing. If you want
|
||
|
|
to host a very fast and responsive Quake game, use this. If you want to
|
||
|
|
play it, run DOS.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Shameless plug: I've also ported qcc, the QuakeC compiler to let server ops
|
||
|
|
make their own quake games. You do need registered Quake to do this, but
|
||
|
|
it's well worth it. Look for qcc in the games collection of FreeBSD's ports
|
||
|
|
repository.
