Quake2 on AIX 4.3 README
Quake2 is ONLY supported on GXT3000P.
Release Notes:
- If you use the right CTRL key in quake, you might need
to execute this (just once) from the AIX command line:
xmodmap -e "keysym Execute = Control_R"
- Please use the provided scripts. Trust me on this one.
- Q2 on AIX can be used to run a server. Running a dedicated
server is best without audio (quake2.gl.noums), and can
be run a LFT (if dedicated switch is passed in on the command line)
- Stereo quake requires stereo glasses, and some fiddling with the
config.cfg file, there is a script file that should append the
needed commands to your config.cfg each time you fire up q2
with stereo glasses.
- In case you are wondering, Q2 on AIX uses a 24 bit visual,
most PC cards run in 15 bit.
Downloading and Installing Quake2
- Decide which directory you would like Quake2 to reside in (you do not
have to create a new directory named Quake2, the install scripts will do this
for you.
- Download Quake2 by clicking on the file named "q2-317-demo-aix.zip" and choose to save the file to
the directory on your hard drive that you have chosen for Quake2.
- "cd" to this directory.
- Unzip the downloaded file by typing "unzip q2-317-demo-aix.zip". This will unzip all files
scripts, and executables into a quake2 directory.
