That's awesome dude, thanks for the patch!

It is ok, I kow when it was installed on my 486, I know when it was released, and I know how fast it was. Since it seems that the Q3A fans here are more interrested in arguing about what was, rather than seeing the point of my first comment and taking the time to optimize the Q3A port on the RPi , ...

Strange; When running Quake 3 when it first came out, on a AMD 486DX4 @120MHz with a 3DFX Voodoo 2 graphis adaptor, and 64MB 15ns RAM (A high end system at te time) I whas abe to get 46FPS in the time demo's. How is it then that a computer like the RPi that is so much more powerfull in terms of CPU...

Not tried this on the pi yet, but from years of playing it on the PC, i do remember these settings for max FPS. They might help you get some more FPS: General GFX r_subdivisions=999 (reduces the polygon count in curves of the maps, higher setting = more performance) r_picmip=2-4 (basically mipmap s...

Hi - loaded it all up and can launch it (thanks Tass!), but no sound (several have mentioned this - I guess this is ongoing?). Also, as I dont have a CD, I can only load demo levels, and I can't load any bots?? bit lonely in the halls... Do the demo levels let you do anything? Perhaps a google sear...

This is why vsync exists, though it just so happens to be the worst thing to have on when playing competitively. I explained above why you might want to have a higher fps, you might think this only applies to older games, but many new ones have this limitation as well. This is pure nonsense. To eve...

I think 60fps is the max the HDMI outputs. Just out of interest, what benefits are there running the renderer at a higher FPS than the display? Really nothing gained above 30 FPS. it is good for optimizing the performance on a computer of Quake3. My current system runs it at 940 fps but it starts h...

When I try to join a game I get an error message: user interface is version 3, expected 6 Copied the .pak files 1-8 from my local Quake 3 dir (pr 1.32 already installed), so I'm not using any demo files etc. The compilation was successful without any error. Any ideas? 1-8? You also need pak0.pk3

You don't need to restart quake, you can just type 'vid_restart'.

Here's the same case, but painted.

Quake 3 has a cap on fps. You can find the console commands online. Make sure you run the console at the menu not in game to set. On my PC it was capped at 90 fps. Ran a timedemo at 1.2 seconds and 940fps. Do not have a RasPi yet. Now that I got the OMAP extras up on the Panda Board I want to try Q...

What's that blasted Microsoft peripheral doing on our beloved Pi?? :lol: How did I know someone was going to comment about this? :P In all seriousness though, they've made some legendary peripherals in the past. We all know about the gaming mice fad, but some of the best players known (with tournam...

Now you should be able to type name.py to execute your program (assuming you are in that directory). ./name.py If you are in the folder, " ./ " should be typed. :) Not if the folder is in your PATH. Also if you have the hashbang (#!/usr/bin/env python) at the top of your file, you can omit the .py ...

Personally I'd like to see some games, like ioquake3 client and doom for example.

Well the steel version will be a little bit different, here's a tease:

Hmm didn't see this before I made mine here.

Either way, I thought I'd share the configs I made:
cd ~/.q3a/baseq3 && wget http://simon.lc/files/rpiquake3cfg.zip && unzip rpiquake3cfg.zip

Ever since I heard this thing would run Quake 3, I've been wanting to get my hands on one. It was reported that they were getting around 20-30fps, and I knew I'd be able to squeeze more fps out with just some simple tweaks. So when I finally got my R-Pi, that's the first thing I did. With the help o...

I was planning on making a quick cardboard case for before I work on my steel case. After I saw Punnet I decided to make one, and use a similar design using a cereal box. Planned it out on thin paper, then traced the design on cardboard. http://simon.lc/assets/rpicard/1.jpg http://simon.lc/assets/rp...

I am running the Debian image on my raspberry, with the Quake 3 bins which I found here . The only in game variable that seems to be related to anti-aliasing has no effect. It seems that there is a 4xAA turned on by default, I'm not certain, but it seems that way. I'm trying to get Quake 3 to run as...

I'm also missing libbcm_host.so on Arch. When I try to compile, I get the error: sys_main.c:(.text.startup+0xc): undefined reference to `bcm_host_init' Edit, seems this is part of the raspberry pi tool chain? I'm not sure how to use this, nor if I'm supposed to cross compile, or run install it on th...

I've never watched or liked Star Trek, but I do know what this is. For those wondering it's this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communicat ... ar_Trek%29

and then

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get upgrade

Anybody else not seeing the pics or is it only me?

I made an album on imgur for you.

I'm planning on running nginx because it seems to be lightweight, and something that has more real world applications making learning it more useful imo.

Wikipedia has a good list of lightweight web servers here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison ... eb_servers
