Ubuntu Linux

Put your Quake CD into the drive (and Ubuntu should have automatically mounted it), then...

sudo apt-get install quake lhasa innoextract
game-data-packager quake -m /media/QUAKE101/
sudo dpkg -i quake-registered_29_all.deb 

Enjoy! :-)

If you need to tweak it, the config file is in...

~/.quakespasm/id1/config.cfg

iD Dev for Doom³ and Quake 4

Playing Quake 4 in Linux

The game may start with the Spanish language. To fix this, quit the game then edit your config file.

nano ~/.quake4/q4base/Quake4Config.cfg
seta sys_lang "english"

Sound tweak. You may not have to do this, but if you experience a delay with sound, edit the startup script and change the line to...

exec ./quake4smp.x86 "$@" +set s_alsa_pcm plughw:0 +set NumberOfSpeakers 2 "$@"
