Trying to get Dhewm3 to run in linux

[Simon Riley]

Alright, so after a couple of nights of trying, I've finally succeeded in compiling Dhewm3 and getting it to boot up in Ubuntu (18.04).   But when I try to start a new game, It comes up with this:

 

ERROR: Function 'map_marscity1::main' not found in script for 'call' key on worldspawn

And before then, error messages like this pop up:

 

WARNING: base path '/usr/local/share/dhewm3' does not exist
WARNING: file materials/shaderdemo.mtr, line 106: material '_default' previously defined at materials/default.mtr:1

And when I go to multiplayer, the server list is completely empty, whereas on Windows, there's a pretty good chance that I'll see a small handful of people still playing Doom 3 online.

 

So, anyone else face this same problem?

Maybe this site will help you to make the game run

Are you talking about the comments below?  The link is just talking about the various Doom 3 source ports that exist.  Not necessarily my problem specifically.

About the whole site, i thought that there will be something that can help you.

Finally got it to run after purging all copies of Dhewm3 from my system and installed the package.  If I knew that there were packages, I would have used them sooner, it's much easier than compiling.

Thats great, congratulations
