Serious Engine 2 .tex file structure. | Zack Middleton (zturtleman), April 2021

The beginning of the file is the serialized form of a C++ class, which seems to be the same in most (all?) images.

There is compressed pixel data in a zlib compressed stream (begining with 78 9C). For image type 0, 2, and 6 the pixel data is BGR888. For image type 1, 3, 4, and 5 the pixel data is BGRA8888. For image type 7, 8, and 9 the pixel data is DXT1, DXT3, and DXT5 image data respectfully with a full mipmap pryamid and possibly 6 images for a cubemap (see image flags? and image type? below).

"(marker)" "(string)" are non-null terminated plain text. Markers are typically 4 bytes but start and end markers are 8 and 7 bytes. For strings, the string length proceeds it but it's listed here as well.

"(int32)" and "(uint32)" are signed and unsigned little endian 32-bit integers. Though uint32 is just used here for lengths or counts that negative values wouldn't make sense.

Maverick Model 3D

GNU/Linux build dependencies and build steps are listed in the readme. Though this does assume some knowledge about Unix terminal, git version control, and building C++ software.

This is a more step-by-step guide that I should probably integrate with Maverick documentation at some point.

Open a Terminal

Open a terminal using the system applications menu. In the terminal type commands and press enter to run them.

zturtleman's Quake 3 FAQ

Can I play the Quake 3 demo with an open source engine?

Yes. But not network compatible with the official demo.

Spearmint

Spearmint includes demoq3 support. Add demoq3/pak0.pk3 to the demoq3 directory. If it's the only game you have installed it will start automatically when you launch Spearmint. If you have baseq3 installed then choose "Spearmint Quake 3 (Demo)" from the mods menu.

NEW SDL2 X11 ISSUES SINCE 2.0.3

• TextInput is now sent before Key event.
  • ioquake3 toggles console on both Key and TextInput events, resulting in the console staying closed. The TextInput event is ignored if last key was console, now that the order is switch it is broken. Now the console can only be opened using Shift+ESC.
  • SDL bug report
• SDL_SetWindowGrab( SDL_window, SDL_FALSE ) does not disable grab if relative mouse mode is enabled. SDL_SetRelativeMouseMode( SDL_TRUE ).
  • ioquake3's in_nograb cvar no longer disables mouse grab.
