quake2demo - Couldn't load conchars.pcx

[Juanito]

Trying to use the quake2demo extension in the tc-10.x x86 repo:

Code: [Select]

$ quake2
using /home/tc/.quake2/baseq2/ for writing
couldn't exec default.cfg
couldn't exec aprconfig.cfg
Console initialized.

------- sound initialization -------
Starting SDL audio callback...

Error: Couldn't load conchars.pcx

Hi Juanito
I don't see  conchars.pcx  in the github repo neonix used, but it does show up here along with a lot of other stuff:

This file is in pak0.pak file. Maybe the game doesn't know where to find pak0.pak.
Try this:

Code: [Select]

cd /usr/local/quake2/
quake2

That makes it work - comment added to info file.

You might want to mention how to start a game or demo?

It would be better If I send a new version of extension with the correct launch script. Some people don't read info files.

I don't understand this question. Unfortunately I'm not able to test this extension for myself because my computer doesn't support OpenGL in TC10. I tried to test it in TC7, but it won't compile.

What I mean is that starting the app brings you to a command prompt where it is not obvious what to type to start a game or to start a demo.
