well if u want openglx u have to type this command in then u wont get seg fault
command: quake2 +set gl_driver /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so.1 +set snddriver sdl
this uses the xorg driver if u use xfree u have to change that around a little
it works for me and looks great

strace quake2... you will see that when you hit ESC > VIDEO it looks for video driver libraries in /usr/share/games/quake2-data
Code: Select all
stat64("/usr/share/games/quake2-data/ref_soft.so", 0xbfffea6c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("/usr/share/games/quake2-data/ref_softx.so", 0xbfffea6c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("/usr/share/games/quake2-data/ref_softsdl.so", 0xbfffea6c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("/usr/share/games/quake2-data/ref_glx.so", 0xbfffea6c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("/usr/share/games/quake2-data/ref_sdlgl.so", 0xbfffea6c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
all you need to do is copy or link:
/usr/games/lib/quake2-icculus/ref_glx.so
/usr/games/lib/quake2-icculus/ref_sdlgl.so
/usr/games/lib/quake2-icculus/ref_soft.so
/usr/games/lib/quake2-icculus/ref_softsdl.so
/usr/games/lib/quake2-icculus/ref_softx.so
into /usr/share/games/quake2-data/
Someone wanna fix the ebuild?
maybe a patch is in order...
Cheers.
Steve.

I did what you sugested, but continues crashing when exiting the video setup.
Also I have another problem: when I have 2 keys pressed (i.e. shift + arrow when running) and press a third one (i.e. ctrl to jump) the third is ignored. Is really annoying not being able to jump when running

Hmm, my fix was for the crash on entering video setup (as seen in various places on this forum) since I assumed that that was what the first post referred to...
I haven't seen a segfault on exiting the video menu, what videocard/drivers are you using?
try running strace on it, it may be somethin similar.

Sorry, I wanted to write "entering", not "exiting".

linking them did not work for me either... although copying them did...
try that..

Hey it worked! The first time I see the video menu under Linux
BTW, anyone experienced the three keys pressed at the same time problem? I just discovered it happens also in GLQuake

Just another fix: in the two expansion packs (the rogue and xatrix ones), there are new features and items included, but they didn't appear ingame (i.e. double damage item, in the rogue one) .
The solution was the same: copy each game386.so file that is located in /usr/games/lib/quake2-icculus/blah to /usr/share/games/quake2-data/blah and the expansion packs will work like a charm!
It could be the same to get the quake2-qmax working at 100%, too!

is there going to be an updated ebuild for this?
until then it's quake2forge for me.
finally working... with sdlquake2

Looked all over the forums and google, tried both quake2-icculus and quake2forge, but I couldn't get Quake2 to work with glx and have decent sound. Quake2forge would give nice sound with
quake2 +set snddriver sdl +set vid_ref glx
(segfault)
but segfaulted when I used glx. Quake2-icculus didn't seem to have an sdl option... because it puts sdl-support in a separate binary file all together, that is "sdlquake2"!
sdlquake2 +set vid_ref glx
(succes!)
I wanted to emphasize this on this forum because sdl seems to be the best option with all these motherboard sound cards with no hardware mixing. BTW: linking *.so from /usr/games/lib/quake2-icculus/ to /usr/share/games/quake2-data solves the video menu segfaults on my system too.
But I don't have any *.so files in the rogue and xatrix subfolders. Do I need to have expansion data in quake2-data before I emerge quake2-icculus? Also, quake2-qmax just looks darker to me and is missing important things like shot spray and blood splatter. Am I missing something?

Sound: appart of segfaulting problems, there is a problem with the latest ALSA and binary games. I added this to /etc/conf.d/local.start:
Code: Select all
echo "quake2 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
echo "quake2 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss
echo "quake2-qmax 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
echo "quake2-qmax 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss
And for the game386.so for xatrix and rogue: there are both USE flags in the icculus package.
Code: Select all
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] games-fps/quake2-icculus-0.15-r1 +X +aalib -arts -dedicated -noqmax +opengl +rogue +sdl +svga +xatrix 0 kB
Total size of downloads: 0 kB
Remember to read the documentation installed in /usr/doc/ about installing needed .pak files.
Nice!

Thanks for the tips!
All working nicely again at present.
(Ahh the joys of a game this old that is still fun!)

Howdy, was having the same problem with segfaulting, and it turns out that I, too, needed to run "sdlquake2" and "sdlquake2-qmax" in order to have a working game, and I further needed to copy the .so files into /usr/share/games/quake2-icculus in order to have a working Video menu.
I'm curious if anyone has an old quake2forge tarball lying around, though, I'm somewhat interested in trying it out, and
http://www.quakeforge.net/ seems to be no longer active. It'd be nice to be able to try them out side-by-side.

It's darker because it uses some more complicated lightmap stuff ("lightmap" may not be the correct word - I'm really not up on my GL programming terms) which creates a more "realistic" lighting situation - because the original Q2 maps weren't built with that in mind, they tend to be a little low on lightsources, which tends to make the levels look darker. qmax also includes lots of much nicer visual effects like particle physics for various things (the default weapon's bullet things, explosions, etc), and has some generally nicer-looking things in it.

The only eye-candy loss I see using qmax is, shotgun no longer ejects brass. Is like you hadn't shot.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but jjstickel is on to something here. When I play qmax I don't get any of the particle traces or blood splatters or anything that I get in reg. quake2.
