Strange, it doesn't work. Even when I tried with the version I just bought from steam.

I copy the pak files to the respective directories, for example pak0.pak and pak1.pak to home/.quake/id1
I move the cursor to the id1 and press select and it returns me back to launcher.
What am I doing wrong?

Hey! Friends! Ask you is how to solve this problem?
I told you the case, back to launcher....
I follow the instructions to do, the result is not working .... I'm frustrated, because I like Quake, I want to how to make him work. . .

To me it seems to slow down when looking far at more open scenes with lot's of geometry. Look close at a wall and it's smoother.

Could be many reasons.
- FPU when more visible geometry? Visibility calculations?
- Something to do with more texture fetching per frame? More open scene is more visible textures at the same time.
If Software Quake and Quake 2 are already smoother, then maybe it's not FPU. So, some bottleneck hit in the GPU, that you simple don't have on software rendering?

There are probably gains to be made on the driver side. Work has gone into making it render correctly but I think nothing has been done to optimize.
Like i said before ive tried to add different things to make it faster. It has degenerate triangle fans. I convert triangle fans to strips and degenerate them with the other triangle strips. Then I can issue the draw command one time.
Textures are converted to 16 bit, which should save on memory.
States are tracked on the cpu side to minimize driver interactions.
One thing i did not added was VBO's, which i couldnt see a good way to manage without doing to much work. And for the most part i havnt seen add much gain in the long run with other projects.

Some other ideas to try. The shadows for the monsters can be turned off from the config file. It also might be worth turning off multitexture, which i think was -nomtex. Multitexture can be slower than 2 pass for some reason on some drivers. I believe i tested it on gcw and saw no change.

I could not for the life of me get the game to launch through the OPK. It just refused to find the pak files. I tried uppercase, lowercase, and shuffled them all around. I tried everything I could think of but it was no use. As far as I could figure the launcher was looking in a directory I don't have. Instead I had to unpack the OPK and create a link to circumvent the launcher.

At the top of the launcher it says that it's checking the directory: "/user/local/home/.quake1/"
But the way my GCW-Zero is configured it made the directory in: "/media/data/local/home/.quake1"

Did anyone else have this problem? Is there something wrong with my default directory structure?

Yeah I tried that. I went as far as putting uppercase and lowercase paks files in both the /.quake/ and /id1/ folders just in case. Still didn't work. I'm starting to think it's a bigger problem. The Quake 2 opk, which used to run fine, was encountering similar problems and unable to start. I unpacked the opk and made a link and now it works. Even loads my old saves. Maybe my unit just hates opks.

[edit] All this stuff aside. Thanks for some Quake on the Zero. It's one of my favorite games of all time.

[edit] Problem was common. I missed the Quake 2 thread that discusses my exact issue.

Would Hexen 2 work with this? it uses the same engine

there's a hexen2 for gcw available.

Yep, my bad. Could somebody direct me to the opk for Hexen 2?
