Quake 2 version 3.21 Installation ..
Now we are going to configure and compile the newest version of Quake 2 for Linux, version 3.21 provided by http://icculus.org/quake2/. This is very important for running the latest and greatest version of LOX v1.12.8, it will crash otherwise.
11. You can download the files a few different ways, but for this example we will use the CVS method. First let's prepare a place to work and download the files:
# mkdir /home/q2user/new_q2 # cd /home/q2user/new_q2
- Login to cvs.icculus.org with password: anonymous
# cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.icculus.org:/cvs/cvsroot login
- Download, via CVS, all the files into the directory "quake2"
# cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.icculus.org:/cvs/cvsroot co quake2
12. Change directory to the "quake2" directory and edit the Makefile to better suit our needs of a dedicated lean and mean server only. The Makefile controls which settings get compiled into the new binary. Open up the Makefile with vi or any other editor and set Build_Dedicated to YES and the following items to NO:
# cd quake2 # vi Makefile BUILD_SDLQUAKE2=NO # sdlquake2 executable (uses SDL for cdrom and sound) BUILD_SVGA=NO # SVGAlib driver. Seems to work fine. BUILD_X11=NO # X11 software driver. Works somewhat ok. BUILD_GLX=NO # X11 GLX driver. Works somewhat ok. BUILD_FXGL=NO # FXMesa driver. Not tested. (used only for V1 and V2). BUILD_SDL=NO # SDL software driver. Works fine for some people. BUILD_SDLGL=NO # SDL OpenGL driver. Works fine for some people. BUILD_CTFDLL=NO # game$(ARCH).so for ctf BUILD_XATRIX=NO # game$(ARCH).so for xatrix (see README.r for details) BUILD_ROGUE=NO # game$(ARCH).so for rogue (see README.r for details) BUILD_JOYSTICK=NO # build in joystick support BUILD_ARTS=NO # build in support for libaRts sound. BUILD_ALSA=NO # build in support for ALSA (default sound on 2.6) BUILD_DEDICATED=YES # build a dedicated quake2 server BUILD_AA=NO # build the ascii soft renderer. BUILD_QMAX=NO # build the fancier GL graphics BUILD_RETEXTURE=NO # build a version supporting retextured graphics BUILD_REDBLUE=NO # build a red-blue 3d glasses renderer... STATICSDL=NO
13. Now we'll build the new q2ded binary and gamei386.so files with the make command:
# make
14. Rename and replace the old gamei386.so file and install the new q2ded server binary in the quake2 and baseq2 directories:
# mv /home/q2user/quake2/baseq2/gamei386.so /home/q2user/quake2/baseq2/gamei386.so.old # mv releasei386/gamei386.so /home/q2user/quake2/baseq2/ # mv releasei386/q2ded /home/q2user/quake2/ # chown -R q2user:q2user /home/q2user/quake2/*
