I managed to get it running, thanks.
Do you also have these cd audio files to have music playing in background?

Nah i dont have those im afraid, but i like it with just the ambience on and that comes with the shareware, makes it more "spooky"

Now that's got to be about the best thing on the N95 so far game-wise. It's even better IMHO than the Wild Palm version of Doom.

It'd be good though if the multimedia keys on the N95's top (or left in landscape) could be used for shoot/strafe.

slawmilcz - the sound within the game is good as it is, but the music does make it better 😊 i have the mp3's from the original cd that i have, but unfortunately i cant give them to you legally 😉 but i'm sure you'll be able to find them in certain sources..

cool'n'funky - yeah i agree! it is really something else to see a fully 3d pc game run on your phone 😊

anyone here know how to reassign keys in the game? the website says something abt doing that within the console, but im not sure what exactly to do..

Anyone else getting a flashing black screen when playing??

Every few seconds the screen goes black and seems to pause. :con?

Hey,

I got Quake working fine, thanks for the instructions and guidance - it looks amazing, but I'm having trouble finding a set of keys that work well - it doesn't seem to recognise the numerical keypad keys as '0', '1', '#' etc, it seems to see 'INS' and 'CTRL' at random or depending on which key you changed last.....

Has anyone managed to find a combination that works? I can't seem to make the game playable so far...

Cheers in advance,

Phil

The saving feature doesn't work yet? It freezes on my... But besides that, excellent work, runs so smooth!

EDIT: No wait, yes it works, but still, is kinda buggy.

Also, make the sound volume lower =P even in the lower setting before mute is too loud.

readbmr 03 Sep 2007, 18:09

Hi got it up and running now, and wow awesum and i see what you all mean its superb, if helps anybody else having problems make sure when you are transfering files from p-c to sd card make sure within your computer file settings that you have " HIDDEN SYSTEM FILES UNCHECKED" Hope this helps, Also has anybody got the MP3 Files so we can hear the backround music?

Thankyou and hope to hear soon from Brian

Can be found here: http://quake.pocketmatrix.com/pak0.pak.zip

That unzips in Windows to give a file called pak0.pak.gz. Is this another layer of compression that needs unzipping with another utility? Or do I put the .gz file in the "ID1" directory?

ut666 03 Sep 2007, 21:27

it's just another layer of compression. Gunzip, linux world.... so extract the pak file from that.... Winzip or winrar should be able to handle the gunzip format.

jinx405 03 Sep 2007, 23:37

Sorry I cant quote each reply I write below cuz I’m surfing at work and there are prying eyes everywhere 😊

fenomeno83 – yeah, the full version includes pak0.pak and pak1.pak, as well as a config file…

readbmr – quake sometimes doesn’t start for me as well.. I reckon it’s a memory issue. If that happens, I usually reboot my phone and it’ll work fine after that 😊 As for music, I have it from the cd I bought ages ago. Even if I had a link, I think it’s illegal to post that here? Maybe… have you tried searching elsewhere for it?

cyclone – flashing black screen? Never happened to me. I did get an occasional RAM logo on the top left, and that’s just a low ram warning. It gets fixed after a reboot 😊

tonkenna – yeah the game is amazing, but I’m yet to find a good set of keys myself. Strafe doesn’t work for me, and if I do try to reconfigure the keys, it all becomes ctrl or ins, and messes things up. If im not mistaken, the website where we get the sis file from mentions something about using the console to remap keys. Haven’t gotten around to that yet though… anyone else tried changing keys in the game yet?

quake 2/3/4? Hahah I reckon quake2 could be a possibility.. maybe in the near future? We never know 😊

In theory it works on any S60 V3 device, but Im having issues with the menu button not working after a bit of gameplay, which means I cant save or exit. Thats on a 6110 navigator.

Pawlee 04 Sep 2007, 14:01

my n93 is coming up with the issue "Menu: Feature not supported"

ive done everything specified on the site...

I get the ram logo as well. Ill try the reboot.

Cheers m8 :icon14:

marcb 04 Sep 2007, 21:32

Looks like it is running nicely in the video!

But... I'm curious.

Why are only s60 3rd ed fp1 and not all s60 3rd ed devices supported?
What features does fp1 add that are required?

-Marc

jinx405 04 Sep 2007, 23:16

pawlee – it looks like it definitely works on the n95 and 6290 from the website itself. By right, it should be able to work on the n93 as well, but looks like it doesn’t… does the n93 have fp1? i doubt it has, and im guessing its more a software issue than a hardware one… does that error come up after the game starts up? Or it doesn’t even manage to start?

cyclone – yeah it’s a pity that the ram is so low on the n95. Hopefully that works out for you then! Let me know if it doesn’t and maybe I can be of more help 😊

marcb – I guess the main difference is that s60 3rd ed is based on symbian os v9.1, and s60 3rd ed fp1 is based on symbian os v9.2. Technically, this means that there are more APIs for C++ that programmers can work with. And this can mean that some programs (like quake) need that little bit extra oomph for it to work and wouldn’t otherwise. At least that’s what I think 😊 Im not very technical in terms of C++, so I wouldn’t know exactly what fp1 has that is required for quake…

hey guys..

kamakay - i just tried loading a saved game and it chucked me back into the phone's main menu. after that i tried rebooting the phone and it worked fine 😊 i think the game wont be able to load a saved game if there's not enough ram available..

pawlee - yeah looks like it. i just checked nokia.com and the n93 is not fp1. i could imagine quake on the n93 - it'll be great! you're only missing a mouse 😃

Pawlee 05 Sep 2007, 11:07

feature pack 1...

bloody annoyin my n93 doesnt have it especially seein as its in the same price range as the n95 (ie AWFULLY EXPENSIVE!!) and has pretty similar hardware too
