Fancy playing Quake with the Vulkan API? Now you can

Quoting: ProfessorKaos64Totally making a package out of this for SteamOS. drool
While were on the topic, it would be totally cool to get a few Arch packages made up for this so its not just Debian / Ubuntu that get all the SteamOS fun..

im using SteamOS session on my Debian build and id really like the feature for Manjaro/Arch <3
I started one at https://github.com/ProfessorKaos64/arch-aur-packages/ [External Link], but it needs some work yet. When I feel satisfied, i'll see how I get that to the AUR.

I never have added something to the AUR, but I don't believe it's that difficult.

Quoting: strycore@ProfessorKaos64 that would be awesome! I'm looking forward having a build script of some sort so I can publish binaries for Lutris :)
There are some issues, but I believe I fixed one. You can follow the below thead (has a link to my fork). May take a little more work.

Edit: author of the repository took my linux-fixes PR. I have an initial test Debian package at the below link. I haven't tested it (late here, time to settle down for the night). I'll likely have time to give it a test tomorrow. I merged in debian packaging from quakespasm. Probably adjustments to be made yet as well. I link quakspasm to 'vkquake' so you can use that, aside from the desktop file.

Please be aware there are fixes to be made yet in upstream code. Axel has noted that this should occur sometime after SIGGRAPH is over.

Trouble?

Tomorrow I'll take a look at an Arch Linux package.

Quoting: GuestI wanted to try but the web site to download the vulkan sdk is broken and it’s impossible to get it for me.
You should need just vulkan-dev (or whatever your distro calls it). Debian has this, starting with Debian Stretch. I backported this to SteamOS, which is based heavily off Debian Jessie:

I'll probably make Debian packaging for this tonight. Maybe time for a small test.

Quoting: t3gI'd love for someone to get this up and running, packaged, and put up on something like http://www.playdeb.net [External Link]
I am making a package tonight. I have to backport a few things, but i'll try to reply back here. I started some here, but I need to do some errands, then I'll finish it and test later.

You can play controversial FPS 'Daikatana' on Linux now, thanks to a fan patch endorsed by John Romero

Quoting: dubigrasuWell, got the game from GOG and added the patch. The game is running well and I had no issues so far. Not sure what to say about the game itself.
It looks very old obviously and if you didn't like it back then probably you won't like it now even with the recent improvements.
But, too early to tell.

Compared to old videos, AVGN's play, and what I remember, widescreen and enhanced video options and resolutions make it look a fair bit nicer. The frogs and flies are super annoying, but at some point I will take the challenge and play it to completion. Too busy with Day of the Tentacle right now.

I installed repository and downloaded retroarch, but when I do a Online updater I dont see Core Updater to install Nintendo 64 (ParaLLEl)
The article notes it is still part of mupen64plus for now.

Sweet. I only knew a oout github.com/ynsta/steamcontroller. I'll have to make. Apache for this and play around with it.
