00:03 <****> hi all :)
00:12 <****> anyone get quake4 to run?
00:13 <****> googled the error and it seems a Gentoo package fixes it
00:13 <****> i had the demo running
00:13 <****> emul-linux-x86-sdl
00:13 <****> Catoptromancy: works for me, eventhough I can't really play it, system is too old
00:13 <****> ya i got hte demo
00:13 <****> need any extra packages?
00:13 <****> i don't remember having to do anything special
00:13 <****> yeah nothing special, same as quake 3 install etc
00:14 <****> X..GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc not found
00:14 <****> Fatal Error: Texture compression unavailable
00:14 <****> Catoptromancy: can you tell us the error?
00:14 <****> dont know how to go about putting a Gentoo package in, or if I really want to
00:14 <****> Q4 ran fine for me from the start
00:14 <****> = (
00:15 <****> create folder perhaps in /usr/local/games/quake4 , copy all baseq3/pk4 files in it, download binary installer, run it, point to that folder, then perhaps get some punkbuster files installed/updated, work on q4config.cfg under your $HOME/.q4 I believe
00:15 <****> well, you may have to change the perms on the .pak files
00:15 <****> I have those #options in xorg commented out... that might be it?
00:16 <****> the installer installed it right im pretty sure
00:17 <****> Catoptromancy: it seems that either your card lacks S3TC or your OpenGL driver is not providing it; is it an nvidia card with the official driver?
00:17 <****> 2 hours for this partition move my ass
00:17 <****> gparted is reporting minutes as seconds
00:17 <****> nullboy: how big is the partition?
00:17 <****> it Intel
00:17 <****> 30gigs
00:17 <****> mmm
00:18 <****> Catoptromancy: sorry, never had the opportunity / luck to play quake 3 / quake 4 with an Intel card
00:18 <****> q4 is gonna hurt that chip
00:18 <****> quake works beautifully
00:18 <****> quake 1 -3
00:18 <****> q4 is a LOT heavier than 1-3
00:19 <****> ive played americas army quite good framerate
00:19 * heret|c plays quake4 @ 1680x1050 res @ ~90fps
00:19 <****> q4 ran fairly acceptable on my core duo 1.83 with a gig a ram and an nvidia quadro NVS
00:20 <****> heret|c: video card?
00:21 <****> heret|c: nice! gotta love em great vid cards and 22" widescreen lcds :)
00:21 * Catoptromancy downloads doom3
00:21 <****> maybe ill jsut get nexuiz
00:21 <****> heh
00:22 <****> Catoptromancy: maybe Q4 _requires_ texture compression as opposed to its predecessors and your card lacks the extension
00:22 <****> probably
00:22 <****> i will better off to just kill this partition move and re apply my binary backup
00:22 <****> this isnt a gaming card, doesnt even have bloom
00:23 <****> bloom = instant 5 fps
00:23 <****> I bought the game right when it came out eventhough I knew I was not going to be able to play it with my P4 1.3Ghz, eventually when I get a new system I'll be able to! w00t!
00:24 <****> I jsut noticed every single game in my folder is a FPS
00:24 <****> slackmagic: i only hate that when i move, the wife is claiming the other computer (we'll have dsl instead of satellite)
00:24 <****> hehe
00:25 <****> that just means you'll be gaming at night while she's sleeping, but don't blame me for saying that. oh wait..you mean the system with the 22" lcds?!?!?!?
00:26 <****> yeah. she'll get one screen and i'll put windows back on my headless server
00:26 <****> :|
00:26 <****> ah crap
00:26 <****> booo
00:26 <****> just so she can play DAOC or WoW or something.
00:26 <****> maybe if you're luck you can snatch another one of them 22" ones on Black Friday Sale
00:27 <****> nah. penny penching for the move as is
00:27 <****> most people just run in to get PCs, Laptops, TVs, etc...not too many actually head over to the monitor section hehe
00:27 <****> wooo recommended nexuiz download server gives me 7 kps
00:27 <****> 3 x 22" widescreens would be sick though.
00:27 <****> oh hell yeah
00:27 <****> imma try and get me my second 22" in about 2 weeks
00:27 <****> then adios 19" crt!
00:28 <****> i absolutely hate crts
00:28 <****> amen
00:28 <****> mmmm
00:28 * Catoptromancy plays doom in 320x200 on a crt
00:28 <****> i would take a 14 inch LCD over a 22inch crt any day
00:28 <****> nullboy: that's nuts
00:28 * heret|c drools at the thought of 4950x1050 resolution
00:29 <****> crt hurt me
00:29 <****> nullboy: I have a sweet 22" CTR and it rocks - it would take a 24" LCD to match it, and even then, the high res I get is just unreal
00:29 <****> s/CTR/CRT
00:29 <****> in fact i just threw away a 24" sun CRT
00:29 <****> ...
00:29 <****> fuq that thing
00:29 * heret|c drools at 3360x1050 :P
00:29 <****> nooo
00:29 <****> good riddance! :D
00:29 <****> i woulda taken it
00:30 <****> nullboy: what res ?
00:30 <****> hard to find good CRTs new
00:30 <****> i dunno, big
00:30 <****> nullboy: big != hi-res
00:30 <****> 1400 something i think
00:30 <****> nullboy: I had an old 21" Sun CRT that only did 1024x768 --- junk
00:30 <****> whatever, it weighed so much i totally hated it
00:31 <****> it was so damn big i couldn't lift it myself
00:31 <****> nullboy: well, it depends on how often you need to move it - I leave my 24" where it sits - always
00:31 <****> s/24/22
00:32 <****> i live in a minimalistic studio so i'm all about small, flat, wall mounted LCD's
00:32 <****> i can tell how many people dislike crts in my neighborhood, I could end up getting about 5-7 crts for free from folks I know just because they throw em away like nothing
00:32 <****> hi, trying to set up proftp, I'm getting error: No address associated with hostname: localhost
00:32 <****> ... of course, once you get used to widescreen, LCD is definitely nice no matter what the res
00:32 <****> mostly 15" - 17" though only
00:32 <****> do I need to add something to resolv.conf?
00:33 <****> I can't remember if it is there or somewhere else that I need to specify the ip of my boxs local domain name
00:33 <****> theblackbox: do you have /etc/hosts populated with the right IP address for your actual hostname ?
00:33 <****> ahhh, hosts, thought it was resolv
