Quake2 Dedicated 3.18 For Linux AXP ----------------------------------- Please see the readme.txt file included for general information about the game. This file contains Linux/AXP specific information. Requirements ------------ Linux Alpha kernel 2.0.30 or later, Redhat 5.0 (glibc) or later. Installation ------------ To install the Quake2 data files, mount your Quake2 CD and copy the directory install/data to the location where you want Quake2. You can also symlink it, but I don't recommend that. Around 200MB of disk space is required for a full installation. For example: cp -r /mnt/cdrom/install/data/* /usr/games/quake2 This binary only runs as a dedicated server and requires no special user permissions. You can also set dmflags, timelimit, etc. in a config file, like so: set timelimit 20 set fraglimit 25 set dmflags 532 map fact3 Then exec that config file on load, like so: ./q2ded +exec server.cfg If you use a config file, you must put a 'map' command in it or the server won't load a map. To run a dedicated server in the background, use this; nohup ./q2ded +exec server.cfg & A better way is to run Quake2 on a tty via screen. screen can be found at ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/screen-3.7.4.tar.gz. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Linux Quake2 is an unsupported product.
