Basically I am looking for a gun mod that I can install on linux quake arena... Everything I have found is an exe file.

SeaHawk, unless you ask for a specific mod, it will be kinda hard to help !

HolgerB so unless I have the answer to my own question it will be kind of hard to help....? Hmm, to everyone else, like the question asked, any gun mods for linux quake arena that are not exe files?

No, unless you ask more specific it will be hard to help

An exe (as always) is a Windows-specific file format. If you are happy and they just compressed their weapon mod stuff as selfextracting zip-file, you can extract them directly in Ubuntu. And if they are not:
Then simply use their install exe under Wine, grab the files from there and put them in the Q3A folder.

Typical mods which work with Q3A under Linux nicely are:
Generations Arena, Excessive Overkill.

Google will reveal quickly the download links.

Edit: Ok, its new year....so here especially for you

E+ as Zipfile
Generations Arena files are available as Zip as well:

Edit 2: And simply by the fact that two of the more famous weapon / class mods for Q3A were available as Zips as well I find it kinda hard to believe when you write stuff like "Everything I have found is an exe file."
Hence my previous posting....


I have mostly been using ioquake3 instead of the native ID software Linux client.
