grabberslasher Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Using Ryan Gordon's unofficial Quake 3 code I have compiled a universal binary. There are many issues, including broken networking (I think), and it sometimes crashes a lot. The whole display engine has been switched to SDL. It does work however (unlike the vanilla id version). Should run on 10.4.3 or higher fine. The performance improvement from a native binary will not be noticeable on a GMA 900, but on a proper card it should. *Important* - to get it to run, you will have to make a symlink to your baseq3 folder in the Quake3 (1.33)/Contents/MacOS folder. (ln -s "/Applications/Quake3/baseq3" "/Applications/Quake3/Quake3 (1.33).app/Contents/MacOS/") http://rapidshare.de/files/12012081/Quake3__1.33_.zip.html (3.6Mb) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclonefr Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 ok but cant u directly make a shortcut that links to /desktop directory? will work for everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grabberslasher Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 Links aren't preserved when compressing. The easy option is to move baseq3 to your app's MacOS folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastbloc Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Thanks for doing the grunt work but the download service you posted was like a horsehair shirt.
