OK I am a complete novice here so if someone could kindly fill in the blanks and some code for me I would appreciate it thanks......
First off I downloaded linuxq3ademo-1.11-6.x86.gz.sh
I managed to mkdir q3demo through another tutorial on google then another tutorial to unpack the file into the directory.
Here's where the fun started, because the installer is a 32bit application it would not run on the 64bit platform so I downloaded linux32 and another file lib32 or something like that. And then the fun realy started. it took me like hours to work this out.
To cut a long story short, the code to make the setup.sh run is:
"sudo linux32 bash setup.sh"
I must have read dozens of web pages trying to find out how to do this but had no luck anywhere, nobody could do it. The installer is now running but I have not yet got as far as actually playing the game I was so excited. Had to share.....
If someone could write a proper guide how to download q3a, mkdir, unpack the file and download the linux32 files I would be realy greatfull thanks.....:guitar:
As I said, the installer is running, if I am not back shortly, you will know the game is running......
