Word.pb, Quake3Launcher.pb, Quake

[Fiwip]

Hi,

I read on the forum to try 3d possibilities, try word.pb. As far as I can see, to do this I need Quake 3 version 1.17 and 1.27.

Can somebody explain clearly what to do to make this working ?

Especially where to download the exact files and how heavy they are ? Somebody was talking about a pack, where is it ?

I mean I never use Quake and there are many many places and many many files related to this. Are you talking about Quake 3 Arena as I read ? Are these files demos versions ? just patches of the original game ? should I have bought already the game ?

On another hand, I found in PB directory, a file named Quake3Launcher.pb.

What are the connections with above mentionned files ? When I compiled/run it send the message "file c:\PureBasicIDE.ICO doesn't exist !". I don't have "C" directory but "F & G". Where can I change this because this message apparently do not come from the Quake3Launcher.pb !

Did I miss something somewhere in the forum or wherever ? Not very easy for beginners.

Thanks for any help,

Fiwip

Very surprising. No one to give me at least one short answer, even my questions are silly questions !

I did not find something precise in the forrums (french and english). Nothing in the tuts, nothing in the ref book (v 1.72).

But yhis is sold with the PE as examples ...

Can you explain ?

Thanks,

Hi Fiwip!

To get the World.pb example running you must install the original Quake 3 Arena. The Quake 3 Launcher is a tool to launch diffrent versions of the original Quake 3. Both examples are useless without the original game from ID-Software.

To test the built in support for bsp-files, go to the Ogre-Website http://www.ogre3d.org/ and dowload the prebuilt demos. Try this modified World.pb source to load the included ogretestmap.zip (you can find the file in the media folder!)

Perhaps Fred should include the Ogre-Testmap into the next Purebasic-Release.

Hi THCM,

Many thanks for your clear explanatitons;

Works perfect !

I think all of your post should be included in the next PB release.

Now I have to go to DirectX9 if I want to see the whole thing (if I understood the error messages after I clicked on the .exe)
