Problem with Quake2 in Linux
polycounter lvl 18
> I managed to get Quake2 installed on my Linux system yesterday, and since then I've been tinkering with the game on and off, but I have two problems that I just can't figure out. First, my Chuckie_F and Tony_T PPMs aren't showing up in the Player Setup screen. I seem to recal that if the Players folder has any files in it that are not in the PPM folders, certain models won't show up. But since only sub-folders are in my Players folder, I know this is not the cause. The other issue I'm having is that I use the mouse to aim, but whenever the pointer moves outside of the Quake2 window, I lose control of my character until the pointer is moved back into the window. I think that running the game full-screen might fix this, but the game can't run full-screen even though the FullScreen option is turned on. I would appreciate any help.

CheapAlert> Caps don't make a difference when it comes to the name of a PPM folder. Even if one was renamed to, I don't know, let's say Mecha_Lecha_Hi_Mecha_Hiney_Hiney_Ho, it would make no difference in seeing the folder's model in the preview screen. The only time where I think the correct case would matter would be if other people were looking at it online.
Dukester> Thanks, I'll give it a shot. I've never posted at Tasty Spleen before, but hopefully there's at least one Linux user in the group.
