This is Quake 1 pet with newest SDL darkplaces engine from 08.04.2010.
It's a precompiled i686 binary build from official site.
I took quake data files from Quake1.pup.
You can run game from menu or type "quake" in terminal
quake is a script but there's also darkplaces-linux-686-sdl binary in path if you want to run other supported games with it.
I removed all unnecessary subdirs, data, run scripts and other engines from .pup so I basically just took quake data files and added new version of engine.
Keeping puppy fat free, even with games Wink

Who wants engine server binary or glx binary or sources or whatever just grab the full archive from official site:
http://icculus.org/twilight/darkplaces/download.html

Who wants extra levels, maps etc I guess you can go here:
http://quake.phoenixlabs.org/maps/id1/maps/
http://ftp.unsix.net/pub/games/quake/id1/maps/
EDIT: Seems that links for maps no longer work

Put maps in /usr/share/quake/id1/maps/

ADDITIONAL LIBS REQUIRED:

FOR DPUP:
SDL-1.2.13-i386.pet
libgl1-mesa-dri

FOR QUIRKY 018:
SDL-1.2.13-i386.pet
mesa-7.6-q1.pet
Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf - change "Disable glx" to "Load glx"
I also uncomment "Option DRI"

FOR PUPPY 4.3.1:

SDL-1.2.9.pet
xorg_xorg_full_dri-7.3.pet
Older engine pet attached below

AAAAND, HERE'S THE PET:
Quake1-i686-sdl.pet about 10 MB
MD5SUM should be: 1b44107b61ad44edf514e0950f680532 Quake1-i686-sdl.pet

Thanks to id software and Lord Havoc for his enhanced engine
Enjoy playing! Wink

Thanks, dejan555!

Unfortunately, Boxpup 4.31 (CLI) complains:

Hmm, well you do have libc lib already in system, probably incompatible glibc or something. I didn't test this in 4.3.* though in dpup runs fine. I'm gonna try it in 4.3.1 later and quirky.

dejan555,

Now that you mention it, you are right. I see a symlink named libc.so.6 in /lib/. Unfortunately, that does not stop the terminal's complaint. As I am running Thunar and Openbox, I cannot see where the symlink points to... maybe /lib/libc-2.6.1.so? Just guessing on my end.

Roy, I attached engine that was originally in .pup, install pet and it will work. Seems that current build is still too new for current puppy, I assumed it will run since it runs in dpup.

P.S. You will also need xorg dri installed.

Well, that happens when you don't properly test your pet on clean boot with pfix=ram, shoulda done that in the first place, I edited first post with more details about requirements on specific puppies, it works on both dpup and quirky with newest engine, it's only 4.3.1 that still has older glibc (quirky 018 has 2.10 and dpup 2.10.2)

Darn, too much puppies to test now Sad

Thanks, dejan555.

I'm not skilled at playing computer games like these, but can tell you that running "quake" in Boxpup4.31's terminal brings up the game with the old engine you just posted.

Thank you!

This game is fun! I had to use the older engine on 4.3 but aside from being a little laggy in places it plays just fine.

A little tip if you're like me and can't get any new maps to load but you still want to play: Edit your save file to make yourself stronger, apponents stronger or weaker and so on.

This plays as a demo for me and only the first episode is playable. I'm working on a solution.

Needs original pak files from quake cd I guess for further episodes.
Files for other playable games as Nehahra can be found on net for download

Also you can download quake maps and put them in maps folder then load from drop down console in quake (type tilde ~ than "map nameofmap") There's also command to list all maps available see help for all commands.

I have installed the pet package and it works, but this is completely unplayable.
Am I missing something?

I am running Wary 5.2.2. on Duron 800mhz/256ddr/RivaTNT2 32MB

Made frugal install with basic save on SCSI drive and got 3GB swap file.

Cause i really love this game and in Windows with this machine it would run like a kitten, please help if any to be had?

Hi DukeDomo, I've never ran it on Wary or machine with those specs so I'm not sure but you'd need to install aditional libs I mentioned and DRI acceleration/opengl libs for your card, also did you try older version of engine that is attached in post?

DukeDomo · Joined: 16 Dec 2011 Posts: 7 Location: Croatia

older Darkforces engine was worse... sound broken unplayable.

Okay got SDL 1.2.14 for Wary5 installed both pet packages, I updated to Xorg7.6 right after frugal install.

DRI acceleration/opengl libs for your card?
What would that be for above specified graphic card?

Cause I tried installing nvidia74.xxx driver and required kd file but nothing happens better, only my media player lost ability to fullscreen movies, ie when switched to fullscreen video size stays same.

Any help or should i give up on playing Quake on Puppy? Sad
