Well excuse me for having an opinion ; here I thought I was entitled to one.

yeah, you do sound entitled ... by trashing someone else's suggestions.

only yours matters right ?

Sorry, but Quake 3 DOES work (base files) if installed pk3 files are installed on /home/pi/Retropie/rom/ports/quake3. My issues with Quake 3 are that only the base game is working (no Team Arena) and that files locations is not documented on Quake documentation page.

@ReadyPlayaWon Enough of the attitude please.

Zering

@Zup I'm looking into Team Arena now.

I had music issues when I got Quake running earlier this year, but I don't recall why exactly.

Not trying to be pedantic but could you share your directory structure for quake? It may be a simple thing that you've overlooked.

Edit : I take it you followed this tutorial for Team Arena?

Edit 2 : Team Arena would not be documented as it's not supported by any 'official' RetroPie package.

@Zering My directories Quake are:

quake
quake/dopa
quake/hipnotic
quake/hipnotic/music
quake/rogue
quake/rogue/music
quake/id1
quake/id1/music

(parent is ~/RetroPie/roms/ports)

In Quake 3, I follow this structure:

~/RetroPie/roms/ports/quake3
~/RetroPie/roms/ports/teamarena

I can't see the tutorial you linked, but in other tutorials said that I must use the files pak0.pk3, pak1.pk3, pak2.pk3 and pak3.pk3... but Steam only includes pak0.pk3 for Team Arena.

Zering started it .. where's his [removed] warning ?

@Zup Try my link again, I just corrected an error.

The tutorial in the link says that the GOG version works, and has all the files you need. I'm checking now but I have to redownload it and my computer is very slow.

I assumed your quake/id1/music directory contains track02.ogg through to track11.ogg?

This is the guide I used when I encountered the same issue, maybe it will help you.

Zup

@Zering I think I've solved the issue with Team Arena... the Steam release is not up to date. It contains only the pak0.pk3 file, while pak1 through 3 were aded on a later patch.

I've downloaded the patch, applied it and copied the files to the Raspberry. Team Arena is running fine now.

Zering

@Zup Excellent! Did you make any headway with Quake 1's music?

Actually it was I that banned your account for inappropriate language. It was a temporary ban, but I guess you haven't got the patience to wait until it expired.

I guess not .. lol :D

Sorry, I got distracted installing Doom and Quake 2.

After downloading a new set of ogg files, I've got the music working. It seem that my files were corrupted.

Now, the only question is how to use mods in lr-tyrquake...
