Here's a small version of Open Arena 0.60.

About OpenArena

OpenArena is an open-source content package for Quake III Arena licensed under the GPL, effectively creating a free stand-alone game. You do not need Quake III Arena to play this game.

Bots were added starting in 0.6.0. They will spout taunts and everything!



The graphics quality has been reduced to make it smaller. I replaced the ioquake3 engine with an ioquake3 engine I compiled several months ago. The engine included with Open Arena requires openAL. This one does not. It's a 18MB download:

http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Games/OpenArena-tiny.tar.bz2

Thanks to MU for hosting!


You'll need SDL and Hardware video accelaration.

If you like you can download the High quality version. I think it's 84MB.

The Open Arena home page:

http://openarena.ws/


There are many mods for quake3, to install a mod just place the mod's folder in the same directory as the base3q folder. Then start the game and select mods from the menu.

Some good mods:

Urban terror (448MB) http://www.urbanterror.net/news.php

Reaction Quake (493MB) http://www.rq3.com/

Western Quake (163MB) http://forums.westernquake3.net/

Aaaaahhh... QUAKE !!!

I've followed the series from the very first one, just bought Q4 but haven't tried it yet.

This & a bunch of other killer games should be made into a Puppy Squash file addon.


This brings to mind the idea of a GUI menu for loading & unloading Squash ".sfs" files.
So Puppy would boot with a preset Squash file mounted that can be swapped for others.
This would require ununioning and/or reunioning the mounted files.

sunburnt: Nathan F. has a gui for loading/unloading squash files. Could probably be edited to fit work with puppy if it does'nt already.

Thanks klhrevolutionist; (Nice to see your still with us).

I keep saying other folks have to have thought of this stuff too.
Maybe Nathan will pop in here about what he has... If not I'll PM him.

I played with the cli version (I think) in one of the beta versions of Grafpup (around May 2006). It wasn't quite working right, but I think I was doing it wrong. I got it to work eventually, and it was pretty nice.

You could just make a DVD with your games and Puppy on it. Set them up to run from one directory if needed, put them all in a folder and then:

mkisofs -J -l -D -allow-lowercase -allow-multidot -no-iso-translate -o /mnt/home/game.iso -b isolinux.bin -c boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table /mnt/home/gamefolder/

Then you can just mount the CD/DVD and run the games. Though, some run slow off the CD/DVD. Quake 3 runs well from a CD/DVD.

Best to have a Squash file so the wad is 40% the size for putting on the HD.

If apps. in the Squash file could be mounted but not unioned, that'd be great!
So no library files to go in /lib or /usr/lib, no configs. to go in /etc, & so on.
The whole thing would mount at /mnt/games-1 & would mostly stand alone.
These kinds of app. wads could be added & subtracted with no problems at all...

This relates to the posted discussion on changing the Linux dir. structure.
If apps. contained ALL the files they need (minus common libraries of course).
So append new paths to point to the app's. libraries, or maybe create links in /lib,
then they could be attached to the dir. tree without need to union them.

Just extract the file and run the 'quake3' file (i think that's the filename).

Very Happy

Because the one provided uses a modded engine or something? Where can I get OpenAL? I am using Dingoalpha6.

Ya, for some reason they use openal. The one I posted I compiled without it.. Urban Terror is now a stand-alone game. Still quake 3 based. It doesn't use openal.

Here's a openal package for dingo. I built it in T2. Haven't tested it. Good luck.
openal-0.0.8.tar.bz2
