Hey, Short intro: James Dietz, gamer and all-around awesome guy. Nice to meet you.
I'm having some annoyingly basic troubles with the mac and linux versions of audioquake. I'm running Mac OS 10.5 intel, and Ubuntu 8.04 on the laptop (also intel). The mac problem is more of an OS type one but was wondering if anyone had suggestions for a fix. The problem is since my Mac Mini isn't hooked up to a monitor zquake crashes with an error complaining about not being able to initialize the display or something (I don't have the number handy). I've tried replacing 'zquake-glsdl' in the start.pl file with zquake-sdl (I recall that 'mac' wasn't listed as a platform - the statement was found under some 'else' condition implying that it's not officially recognized... for shame) but no joy. I've ran into this with a few apps which required video (vlc, the dvd player) and worked around it by disabling the video output in certain apps (vlc is the only one so far). Is there some simple way I can just get it to forget to check for a display? I tried plugging in the DVI to VGA converter thing which came with the mac but nothing good. I'm not a leet unix hax0r yet so if any obvious choices exist please hold the rtfm superiorty (I did r the f-ing m by the way). The linux problem is a lot more basic. I can't figure out how to agree (or disagree) to the license terms! I've tried everything: y return, ok return, I agree return, come on return, etc. I remember running into something similar with the jdk 1.6 install and got around it with right arrow or something (whereupon I could highlight a <ok>) but that didn't work this time. I feel pretty silly not getting the freaking thing installed for such a frustratingly administrivial reason. So yeah... any help with this? Again: gnome-terminal, orca, ubuntu 8.04, intel, etc. I did play AQ on windows a couple of years ago (offline - I know I'm a loser). It was enjoyable (though the single player maps weren't very playable). This rocks. Also checking out the LDL thing. It looks like a great start. You're amazing Matthew.
