Free quake iii software for linux

This is the source code for Quake III Arena version 1.32b, released by id Software. Quake III Arena Source is subject to the terms of the GNU General Public License.
While we made sure we were still able to compile the game on Windows, GNU/Linux and Mac, this build didnt get any kind of extensive testing so it may not work completely right.
Whenever an id game is released under GPL, several projects start making the source code more friendly to nowadays compilers and environements.
If you are picking up this release weeks/months/years after we uploaded it, you probably want to look around on the net for cleaned up versions of this codebase as well.
The build system using cons, which may be known as sconss perl ancestor now you dont have to track it down though, the build script is provided in the tree you will need nasm and gcc 2.95
Make sure you have the X Direct Graphics Access and X Video Mode extensions headers for your X11 a typical compile command goes like this:
[..]/code$ ./unix/cons -- gcc=gcc-2.95 g++=g++-2.95
Enhancements:
- Fix for a security exploit.

WMQuake can run Quake 1 in a dockapp window.

It works pretty well. If you plan on doing netplay with this, you cant start a new game or join a game unless you first bring up the console and type: "disconnect". Then you can start a new multiplayer game or join an existing one. This is a bug that was present in the original source, and I left it untouched. There is no mouse or CD audio support, because they were not implemented at the time, and because I find both of these features extremely useless and not worth my time implementing.

Usage is simple. All standard quake1 command line options apply except winsize, which was removed. Feature set is close to that of earlier versions of quake 1 for linux which were handled by crack.com.

This is a complete software-only version, all traces of assembly code were removed. We are dealing with such small windows, it was really unnecessary. Internally, the engine renders into 320x320 buffer, which is then scaled down to fit inside dockapp. It isnt extremely pretty but it isnt so bad either. I could have done rendering into a smaller buffer to reduce CPU load, but then the statusbar would have to be disabled. And seems like the bare minimum size to render into has to be > 128 because of some calculation errors or something, with smaller window sizes the game would segfault very often.

Just what you always wanted. Hardcore quake fanatics can now enjoy their favorite game in a 64x64 window! Now works with FreeBSD, too!

Installation:

1. check Makefile, but there is probably nothing there to see.
2. make
3. copy wmquake to where you got your id1/ dir and stuff. Make sure that dir is all lowercase and the pakfiles inside are lowercase, too etc you know the standard routine.
4. ./wmquake &

QuakeMud project is a Quake themed MUD.

QuakeMUD is a simple and silly Quake themed MUD, good for a few minutes of fun.

Features are few. At the moment it is deathmatch only. I will code up some mobs later.

Just how much later I do not know. There is a QuakeMud server running on gnu.osoal.org.nz.

Telnet or use your favourite mud client and connect to gnu.osoal.org.nz:4950 and be the envy of all your friends!

Quake 4 SDK contains the full public game source code, and map, mod and art samples.

About Quake 4:

Earth is under siege by the Strogg, a barbaric alien race moving through the universe consuming, recycling and annihilating any civilization in their path. In a desperate attempt to survive, an armada of Earths finest warriors is sent to take the battle to the Strogg home planet.

You are Matthew Kane, an elite member of Rhino Squad and Earths valiant invasion force. Fight alone, with your squad, or in hover tanks and mechanized walkers as you engage in a heroic mission to the heart of the Strogg war machine.

Battle through the beginning of the game as a combat marine, then after your capture, as a marine-turned-Strogg with enhanced abilities and the power to turn the tide of the war.

Built on id Softwares revolutionary DOOM 3 technology, QUAKE 4 also features fast-paced multiplayer competition modeled after the speed, feel, and style of QUAKE III Arena.

Quake2Forge project is a portable, stable Quake II engine.
Quake2Forge is a portable, stable Quake II engine maintaining backward-compatibility with id Softwares version.
QuakeForge is a 3D graphics game engine based on id Softwares legendary Quake and QuakeWorld game engine. Our purpose? To improve the state of the game by improving the engine and making it accessable to the largest number of players we can.
Arguably the single most important issue on the minds of players today is the rampant cheating which is currently happening on many of the larger servers. Its a serious problem and it really makes a good game hard to find. Were working hard to fix these problems at the engine level.
But what good is that if you have to have a copy of our client and the server has to run our server? There are other projects out there and some of them have very unique qualities. QuakeForge is cooperating with QSG, a group comprised of representatives from nearly every known Quake source project to ensure that our clients and servers run with other clients and servers just fine. We have all agreed to implement any effective cheat prevention methods.
Other things were doing include merging the two code trees, adding features, and improving the OpenGL renderer. And QuakeForge is still the most portable source tree based on the id Software code.
Enhancements:
- bring back a bunch of fixes from 0.5.3 (including news items) that got lost in the rushed release of 0.5.4
- more cvar renaming: scr_consize -> con_size, scr_conspeed -> con_speed, gl_conalpha -> con_alpha, vid_conwidth -> con_width, vid_conheight -> con_height, show_fps -> hud_fps, show_ping
- demo_speed no longer affects console scrolling or cursor blink rate
- save game loading fixed
- QNX fixes from Mike Gorchak
- server clients work with mvds

Quake 4 for GNU/Linux is available now! Were very pleased to announce that this it with both a dedicated server and a native client.

A licensed copy of Quake 4 retail for Windows is required. You will copy the assets files from it and use the CD key (a CD key is not required to run a dedicated server).
