Hello Guys, how are you?
I play ioquake3 on Linux and I want to play the Team Fortress mod (Q3F - Quake III Fortress).
I installed it and I can run it, but when the game starts, just the console is shown with the background image…
Everything works fine, but I can’t exit the console, see the attached Screenshot:
Looks like the dedicated server console mode. Is the “dedicated” cvar set?
I looked at q3config.cfg on the folder /q3f2/ and it has this line:
seta ui_dedicated “0”
When you have q3f open like the screenshot, type “dedicated” and press enter. It will print the current value of the console variable.
Okay, it’s not in dedicated server console mode. Try launching the mod directly from a Linux terminal; ioquake3 +set fs_game q3f2.
What changes is that the intro vídeo is from Q3F, but the result is the same…
Here is the Linux terminal “console log”:

Thanks! I’ll try it.
You downloaded the same Q3F as I did?
To install this new build I just extract the files and overwrite the old ones?
Yeah, Quake 3 Fortress 2.2 FULL from the link you posted.
You can extract the files over the top or somewhere else; which ever you want.
How can I put the com_hunkmegs 96 in the Q3F?
In the Linux terminal run;
ioquake3 +set fs_game q3f2 +set com_hunkMegs 256
96 hunkMegs wasn’t enough so I increase it to 256.
IT worked! Thanks 
Do you know if q3f has bots?
It does not appear to have bots.
Q3F 2.3 was the final released version. Then it got ported to Splash Damage’s free Wolfenstein Enemy Territory as “ETF” which mustered up to version 1.6.
ETF does have some pretty basic bots but I’m not sure if you can find a good Linux release these days. Especially with the bot support enabled.
