razor Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 You can find the Quake2 installer here. http://icculus.org/quake2/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest frew Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 Use the installer, the other files barely work. (btw if you were to use them you would use both.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ral Posted October 9, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 Thanks for the info. Will download filesc on icculues.org instead. Cool avatar razor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ral Posted November 5, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 Okay, I finally downloaded the installer from icculus. Can't seem to find an installation guide though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83mercedes Posted November 9, 2002 Report Share Posted November 9, 2002 Yeah, I downloaded it too, but when you go to run it (on Mandrake9) it keeps looking in the floppy after it asks for the Quake2 CD. Then it doesn't recognise the CD and gives up. Don't work for me.Maybe try getting these which DID work for me. ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake2 Get the one called q2-3.20-x86-full.exe Please let me know if it works. Also check out this page for help. http://linuxquake.com/howto/Quake-HOWTO-3.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ral Posted November 9, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2002 I have tried i_o_quake2-0.15.run and icculus_org_quake2-cdless.run. The first one tries to install Quake 2 in my PC but fails. It does not seem to copy the data files of the CDRom. But mabe I am running the install wrong. The cdless installer simply wont run from my PC. I can't seem to find install instructions with either package. Does anybody know of a link with install instructions for these installers. Back to Wolfenstien I guess.

ral Posted November 9, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2002 Hhhmmm...but your post refer me back to the pages I was looking at before some of the other members of the board told me to look at icculus.org instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razor Posted November 9, 2002 Report Share Posted November 9, 2002 ral, You should have icculus_org_quake2.run from the link that I posted above. As root sh. icculus_org_quake2.run The installer will ask again for the CD but will install after that. razor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83mercedes Posted November 9, 2002 Report Share Posted November 9, 2002 ral; I thought you said that did not work? Yes you did say that, I just looked. I'm only trying to tell you what worked for me. The icculus_org_quake2.run did not. You might try compiling it from the source, which also worked for me, it's on the same link that razor posted. It's a little more complicated than RPM, but it does have all the instructions included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ral Posted November 10, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2002 Thanks I will try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relic2K Posted November 14, 2002 Report Share Posted November 14, 2002 Icculuses Q2 installer worked great for me, and the game started up fine, but once I configured everything and went to run the game, it kept crashing on me or locking up the desktop manager. I think I will give the other file a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83mercedes Posted November 14, 2002 Report Share Posted November 14, 2002 Yeah, I got the source from http://icculus.org/quake2/#download and look at the readme/install files FIRST! It's sorta wierd how to install, but it does work. It will tell you to get q2-3.20-x86-full.exe from ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake2/ That is one cool game, IMHO.
