Puppy Multiplayer LAN
Puppy Multiplayer LAN
I had an idea to have a lan party with people bring in old crappy windows 95 computer and i will install puppy and a Doom type game on it. The only probley is that i can't find a game that is multiplay and will run well on old computers with puppy. If anybody can find or make a FPS like DOOM or quake that runs on Puppy Please tell me.
I talked about Quake 3 for Linux running on Puppy, others thought it was a good idea.
The problem is, the only distributable parts are the Linux executable & the quake3.cfg file, the pak.0 file with the graphics is NOT freeware & can't be given away, Quake 1 & 2 is the same I beleave (I'll check).
The original Doom is shareware I think, but I don't know if it does LAN head to head.
I'm also not sure if Doom was ported to Linux, I'll check on these items & report back.
If you; Sgt. Andrew know any of this stuff, post back here what you know & we'll compare.

This uses Freedoom, which is a replacement of the mpaps and levels of doom2.
Some monsters and maps are not finished yet, but you can play it.
It also is possible to replace the freedoom-pwad with the one from the original game.
There also is a OpenGL-version of Doom (jdoom - google for that), that looks veeeery cool - glowing firebals, antialiased textures and so on. I had it running at puppy already, but at that time my computer overheated.
Might try to get it running again later.
Quake (shareware):

I have all levels of Q2, but cannot offer them in a public place like the forum for copyright-reasons.
