Setting up quake3

Install ioquake3 on Linux (also includes ioquake3-server):

apt-get install ioquake3

Install quake3-demo-data from somewhere, which contains:

/usr/share/games/quake3-demo-data/demoq3/botfiles/fw_items.c
/usr/share/games/quake3-demo-data/demoq3/botfiles/fw_weap.c
/usr/share/games/quake3-demo-data/demoq3/botfiles/game.h
/usr/share/games/quake3-demo-data/demoq3/botfiles/ichat.h
/usr/share/games/quake3-demo-data/demoq3/botfiles/inv.h
/usr/share/games/quake3-demo-data/demoq3/botfiles/items.c
/usr/share/games/quake3-demo-data/demoq3/botfiles/match.c
/usr/share/games/quake3-demo-data/demoq3/botfiles/match.h
/usr/share/games/quake3-demo-data/demoq3/botfiles/script.c
/usr/share/games/quake3-demo-data/demoq3/botfiles/teamplay.h
/usr/share/games/quake3-demo-data/demoq3/botfiles/weapons.c
/usr/share/games/quake3-demo-data/demoq3/gfx/misc/lightning3new.jpg
/usr/share/games/quake3-demo-data/demoq3/gfx/misc/lightning3newnpm.jpg
/usr/share/games/quake3-demo-data/demoq3/pak0.pk3
/usr/share/games/quake3-demo-data/demoq3/scripts/lightningnew.shader
/usr/share/games/quake3-demo-data/demoq3/vm/cgame.qvm
/usr/share/games/quake3-demo-data/demoq3/vm/qagame.qvm
/usr/share/games/quake3-demo-data/demoq3/vm/ui.qvm

Or, better yet, install quake3-data, containing:

/usr/share/games/quake3/baseq3/cgamex86_64.so
/usr/share/games/quake3/baseq3/pak0.pk3
/usr/share/games/quake3/baseq3/pak1.pk3
/usr/share/games/quake3/baseq3/pak2.pk3
/usr/share/games/quake3/baseq3/pak3.pk3
/usr/share/games/quake3/baseq3/pak4.pk3
/usr/share/games/quake3/baseq3/pak5.pk3
/usr/share/games/quake3/baseq3/pak6.pk3
/usr/share/games/quake3/baseq3/pak7.pk3
/usr/share/games/quake3/baseq3/pak8.pk3
/usr/share/games/quake3/baseq3/qagamex86_64.so
/usr/share/games/quake3/baseq3/uix86_64.so
/usr/share/games/quake3/missionpack/cgamex86_64.so
/usr/share/games/quake3/missionpack/qagamex86_64.so
/usr/share/games/quake3/missionpack/uix86_64.so

Create batch files for quake3-demo:

#!/bin/sh
if [ -n "$1" -a "${1#+}" = "$1" ]; then
    echo "usage: $0 [+params...]" >&2
    exit 1
fi
exec /usr/lib/ioquake3/ioquake3 \
  +set vm_cgame 0 +set vm_game 0 +set vm_ui 0 \
  +set fs_basepath /usr/share/games/quake3-demo-data \
  +set com_homepath .q3ademo +set com_basegame demoq3 \
  +set sv_pure 0 \
  "$@"

Or, for quake3:

#!/bin/sh
if [ -n "$1" -a "${1#+}" = "$1" ]; then
    echo "usage: $0 [+params...]" >&2
    exit 1
fi
exec /usr/lib/ioquake3/ioquake3 \
  +set vm_cgame 0 +set vm_game 0 +set vm_ui 0 \
  +set fs_basepath /usr/share/games/quake3 \
  +set com_homepath .q3a +set com_basegame baseq3 \
  "$@"

Using q3.make

If you've placed q3.make in your path, you can do:

q3.make mymap.pk3

And it will do all necessary steps to build the map and zip it up for you.

If you have your own textures etc. (not in pak?.pk3), you'll need to include those too:

q3.make mymap.pk3 INCLUDE='env/mymap textures/mymap scripts/mymap.shader'

Paths will be autodetected by reading file in ~/.radiant.

BEWARE: If you include mymap.shader in multiple maps, and leave the same PK3 files accessible, you won't know which version you're getting. Delete old PK3 files to be on the safe side.

Configuring quake3

Setting video settings through the console (~):

/r_mode -1
/r_customheight 1080
/r_customwidth 1920
/vid_restart

If things are too dark (~):

/r_overbrightbits "0"
/r_ignorehwgamma "1"
/vid_restart

Skipping CD KEY prompt:

echo $(for x in $(seq 16); do echo -n 2; done) >~/.q3a/baseq3/q3key

Running quake3

When you have a BSP file (and optionally an AAS):

quake3 +sv_pure 0 +devmap q3dm7sample

NOTE: You need +sv_pure _before_ the +devmap.

When you've compiled the BSP and AAS into a PK3:

quake3 +map q3dm7sample

Adding bots to the game:

quake3 +map q3dm7sample +addbot grunt +addbot anarki

Debugging quake3

When you're running a +devmap:

/set r_showtris 1
