Unvanquished is a id Tech 4 game?

I thought it was id Tech 3 derived game? If it was really id Tech 4, that would be awesome, but I'm pretty sure has announced a game with id Tech 4 engine yet, just the continued cleaning up of the engine since its OSS release a year ago.

[curaga]

Why would they try to load an X symbol from libGL? Someone check if either of the blob libGLs has that, then we know what they dev on

[MastaG]

All these shooters look like a polished version of Quake 3 Arena to me.
I think they should focus on a single player shooter instead.

[BO$$]

unvanquished: shitally boring should be the name.

Unvanquished use the Daemon engine which is a fork of the OpenWolf Daemon which is a fork of iowolfet (an idTech3 improvement) that use the renderer from XreaL engine which is one of the most heavily improved idTech3 derivative.

XreaL was developed before the liberation of the idTech4 engine but offers some advanced features similar to idTech4.
Daemon (Unvanquished) and XreaL (ET:XreaL) are very powerful engines!

> Shooter ??

The S of FPS (shooter) is relevant only for one team : the human team.
The S of RTS (strategy) is relevant for both teams.

> Quake 3 Arena ??

Unvanquished combines shooting, close combat, taking of territories, building of base and resource management. Q3A is only a multiplayer shooter.
The purpose of Unvanquished is not to have the greatest number of frag, you can lose even you're a very good shooter. The goal is not to score points, but to prevent the other team to play.

> Single player ??

Single player strategy games are boring !

Have you tried Unvanquished?
Have you tried to play as an alien ? Yes, there is two team, only one team uses guns.

I'm not sure how to fix this error. If you use Debian, Ubuntu or Arch Linux then you can download binary packages otherwise you'll probably need to compile from source. Sorry

Try this :

cd /home/mcgreg/Unvanquished
# move lib32 dir
mv lib32 lib32.old
mkdir lib32
# try to run Unvanquished
./daemon.i386

For each message "error while loading shared libraries", copy the library to lib32/ dir
Example :

mcgreg@pegasos:~/Unvanquished$ ./daemon.i386
./daemon.i386: error while loading shared libraries: libnettle.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
mcgreg@pegasos:~/Unvanquished$ cp lib32.old/libnettle.so.3 lib32/
mcgreg@pegasos:~/Unvanquished$ ./daemon.i386
[…]

By doing so you are sure to use the libraries provided by Unvanquished only when they are missing on your distro, and Unvanquished will uses libraries from your distro's when you already have. Also, you can try to install the dependencies by hand and not use any libraries in the lib32 directory.
