I just downloaded and installed the "icculus_org_quake2-clless.run"


It always bugged me that v3.20 never had:
-Wheel Mouse support under LINUX
-Game would always lock up everytime apply was picked under "ref_glx"
-Game would not run in Full-Screen Mode with XF86 v4.x

All these bugs are fixed with this release.

Very Nice.... Good work.

I thought I would try a Bench-test between the stock v3.20 and your 
v3.21-r0.13.
WOW 160fps @ 600x800dpi
(My best with v3.20 was between 90-100fps at 600x800dpi)

Now I am REALLY Impressed. :)

I then tried to compile the "quake2-r0.13.1" source but ran into 
dependancy problems on my Slackware v8.0 box. After getting SDL-1.2.4 
and  aalib-1.2 installed I managed to get quake2-r0.13.1 to compile. But 
the game crashes on start up complaining about:

Error: Missing Particle Picture: particles/beam.jpg



Does anyone have any clues what went wrong with my build? Why does the 
pre-compiled binary work just fine but my binary fails? And what is 
"particles/beam.jpg" ?
