OpenArena on the Eee PC - Low Quality

Deathmatch game against a few computers in OpenArena to show off the Eee PC's 3D capabilities - and to show everyone how bad I am. It is very low quality as I recorded it with my camera (its not even a video camera), but you can at least see how smooth it is, looks to me like about 40 fps.

You should try a better game, like quake 3.  OA isn't ready in its current beta version. At least imo :S

Open Arena *is* Quake 3, minus the proprietary content. There is nothing 'beta' about it besides the version number.

hi mate can see notes about you editing the config in order to play on the eee do you know where a link is that tells me how to do it? as i would like to do it on my eee, thanks heaps

[beg1689]

Look for q3config.cfg, on linux in ~/.openarena/baseoa.

Find these lines and change to below:

seta r_mode "-1"

seta r_fullscreen "1"

seta r_customwidth "800"

seta r_customheight "480"

Hey, are you running the stock OS that comes with the Eee, or are you using something else?

[beg1689]

No, I installed Ubuntu 7.10, The window manager is E17 (One of my other videos shows what it looks like)

Because it's fun and it's freely available. Nothing against Q3, but let's not knock OA, it's a good game

lol the audio on open arena is hilarious. It sounds like a frog walking on hardwood with wooden clogs.

@MRauron  Open arena is way better.

It has 14 weapons.

q3 has 10.

Get a better game!!

Open Arena runs great on max detail, too. (except when using bloom)

Eee PC? I have one of those notebooks. Can't run Quake III Arena well, but runs Quake Live great.
