Quake III Arena

Here you'll get instructions of how to install a linux dedicated Quake III Arena server.

Getting the files

Download the Quake III Pointrelease 1.32b

You'll also need the Quake III Arena CD-Rom!

$ mkdir /usr/local/games/quake3

$ cd /usr/local/games/quake3

Run the Pointrelease 1.32b

$ ./linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run

Copy the *.pk3 files

$ cp /path/to/cdrom/Quake3/baseq3/*.pk3 ./baseq3

• 1: DM (Deathmatch)
• 2: Tourney (one-on-one)
• 3: Team DM (Team Deathmatch)
• 4: CTF (Capture the Flag)

g_motd:
