Have a merry christmas & an awesome new year

Thank you, merry Christmas to you too.

Standalone Tyrquake has some cvars that control this (scr_menuscale, scr_hudscale), but they don't seem to be supported by the libretro fork.

@retropieuser555
At last I have located this menu and I have managed to make the appropriate changes so that the mouse recognizes me.

If it were not for your help, I would not have achieved it. Thanks ;)

@reverieware give it a shot. it cant hurt.

as for adding things to the Retropie setup. as far as i have read from the devs. just submit the script through the github and they review it. but i think they are more worried about getting things running smooth then adding more ports. at the moment at least

that why i just hold on to anything i make. maybe one day ill send them in

Check if you haven't got PulseAudio installed. If you go into the Audio settings in RetroPie - does it show PulseAudio at the top ?

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...

I can see a User had this same problem in May: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/25809/is-ogg-music-file-support-broken-in-lr-tyrquake/2

I have put the music files in the correct place so far as I can tell.

This is what the retropie guide says:

id1/
├── pak0.pak ## shareware data
├── pak1.pak ## registered data
├── s0.sav
├── s1.sav
├── music/
│ ├── track02.ogg
│ ├── ...
│ └── track11.ogg

This is the structure that lr-tyrquake has set up, with two id1 directories.

id1/
├── pak0.pak ## shareware data
├── pak1.pak ## registered data
├── id1/
│ ├── config.cfg
│ ├── save files
│ └────music/

That is where I have the music placed currently but I have tried it in the other directories also. The permissions are 0777, and the format is .ogg as the guide states.

Any help appreciated.

Edit: I've got this working now, I have .ogg files and .MP3 files in home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/quake/id1/sound/cdtracks and they are picked up in Darkplaces.

I've also got lr-tyrquake working, the same files in home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/quake/id1/music

I don't know if the original .ogg files I had were bad, or if having the .MP3s in there makes a difference, but it is working whatever the problem was.

@Dinierto Did you get an answer on this? I have the same problem.

I can't even get sound/cdtracks to get picked up by Darkplaces. Which folder did you put that within - mine is sitting in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/quake/id1/sound/cdtracks - but I've tried /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/quake/id1/id1/sound/cdtracks and /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/quake/sound/cdtracks also

Did you have to do anything else for that to work?

I loved quake2!
The map indeed was q2dm1 'The edge'. The rail gun was in the room under the water.
How do you play this game now? What does it play like- I remember this making me invest in more ram and my first 3dfx card for the first time. P166 and 16mb of ram lol.
There was an online game called Red rover that was excellent. Also loved the servers that had power ups Haste, Vampire and some others.
Super shotgun, quad damage and haste was the most hilarious combination.

Hello mitu,

thanks for your reply. I looked a the games.log file. no details of the crash.
I also tried the "set cvars" in the ingame control panel etc, still crashed.

not sure where to go from here.

Welp, I'm an idiot. I can easily customize them in the retroarch menu and save them there, just like the docs say. Mods, feel free to delete this if you feel the need.

Note that you'll be needing a 'registered' (i.e. full) version of Quake (1) to play it, the demo won't cut it.

ly-tyrquake isn't working at the moment due to a faulty upstream commit. https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/2055#issuecomment-318223271

You'll need to wait for the fix, but if you're competent with the terminal, you can manually build the core with the commit reverted and it'll work again.

@mitu @Semper-5

Can you discuss this please in a new thread?
I think a small "how to install nehara"-thread would be better as it's a DP mod and can't be run in lr-tyrquake.

Better option is to bring up the retroarch menu (select + top button) then go to "Quick Menu > Options" and set "Invert Y Axis" to "Enabled".

So i installed from source and it gave me the .sh for rogue and hipnotic. So from there i knew how to make the full version and the dopa ones. So i have them all working now.

However, the keyboard still stops working in linux stuff after playing tyrquake.

@Xyb0t glad you got it working good now.

@sonicsheppard
Thanks man :) Although, i'm not really a huge fan of the Roland Sound Canvas (especially the guitar sound). Anyways, i'll have a look at the PSX music. Although not 'authentic', it sounds more like 'real' music :)

On a sidenote, the SC55 pack features a track called 'bye bye american pie', and i can't help to think how much it sounds like a very well known Alice in Chains classic:
