Description Denilson Sá Maia 2006-05-24 12:15:38 UTC
$ nprquake-sdl
FindFile: can't find gfx/pop.lmp
Playing shareware version.
FindFile: can't find gfx.wad
Error: W_LoadWadFile: couldn't load gfx.wad

Why this happens? Probably (I guess) nprquake-sdl requires some type of Quake installed, or must be executed from some quake directory. If this is true, I ask to put some "einfo" or "ewarn" at ebuild, explaining it to users. Maybe also recommending to emerge some other "quake" package.
Comment 1 Denilson Sá Maia 2006-05-24 15:12:26 UTC
Yes, my conjecture above is true. Please add some "einfo" to ebuild, explaining to emerge <somequakepackage> or to run nprquake-sdl inside the directory that contains id1/pak?.pak.

In addition, please add some einfo explaining how to enable "NPR" renderers:

Start the program, bring down the console and type "r_load sketch.so" or "r_load bprint.so" or "r_load brush.so" without the quotes. To get back to the default, use "r_load dr_default" or "r_load default".
