Quake 4

Quake 4

Being based on the Doom 3 engine, you could almost expect Quake 4 (see Figure 9.4) to ship with a good deal of support for Linux. To get started, you must have the Windows version of the software because you need several files as well as the CD key to be able to play the game. First things first, though. Head on over to http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/quake4/ to download the required Linux installer (quake4-linux-1.0*.run) by either direct FTP or the more bandwidth-friendly BitTorrent.

FIGURE 9.4 Based on the popular Doom 3 engine, Quake 4 pits you against the evil Strogg. Get out there and frag 'em!

After you download the file, drop down to a command line and type in

#sh quake4-linux-1.0*.run

and then press Enter. The installer starts up and asks you a couple of questions. After you answer these, the installer creates the necessary files and folders. All you need to do is to copy several files from the /quake4/qbase directory on the DVD to /usr/local/bin/quake4/qbase. You can start the game by typing quake4 at a command prompt.
