After emerging quake2-icculus and quake2-data, when i launch the game and execute "game ctf" using the quake console i get this: ]game ctf Added packfile /usr/share/games/quake2-data/ctf/pak0.pak (169

client_connect McKinley Revival ------------------------------------- and although quake loads the map, there are no techs and flags in the game. the game pauses when i open the console, so i'm still in single player mode. i think, quake chooses the wrong gamei386.so for some reason. out of curiosity i renamed the /usr/games/lib/quake2-icculus/ctf/ directory, that contains the gamei386.so file for ctf, to something else. this made no difference at all...same problem, same warnings. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. "emerge quake2-icculus quake2-data", installing the data from the quake2 CD 2. being a member of the "games" group start "quake2" 3. open the quake2 console, execute "game ctf" and "map q2ctf1" Actual Results: quake2 loads the map, but flags, techs, and the other ctf stuff are missing. quake2 is still in single player mode. Expected Results: quake2 should be in ctf mode and load the map including flags and techs. i could reproduce the problem on another box (that uses software rendering only, btw; so it's not some strange video driver problem) after a fresh gentoo install. emerging quake2-icculus using CFLAGS="" and CXXFLAGS="" did not solve the problem. mgentoo root # emerge info Portage 2.0.50-r1 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.6.2) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.2 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.13 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.58-r1 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.7.7 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -funroll-loops -fprefetch-loop-arrays -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -funroll-loops -fprefetch-loop-arrays -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X aalib alsa apm arts avi berkdb cdr crypt cups encode esd foomaticdb gdbm gif gpm gtk gtk2 imlib java jpeg kde libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mozilla mpeg ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png postgres python qt quicktime readline sdl slang spell ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex truetype x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib"
I think 0.15-gentoo-path.patch doesn't do what it is trying to do correctly. Usualy all of quake2 is located in one directory however, the ebuild tries to split it. Basicly quake2 doesn't read any mods. As a bad hack fix you can do this to get it to go in ctf mode. cd /usr/games/lib/quake2-icculus/baseq2 mv gamei386.so gamei386.so.orig ln -s ../ctf/gamei386.so ./ Now if you do 'quake2 +set game ctf +map q2ctf1' it will be in ctf mode.
Fix to this problem is included in the new bug #61801: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61801
mmm the gentoo paths patch needed to add libdir to the FS_AddGameDirectory when screwing with "gamedir" fixed in 0.16
