So first of all (after following the instructions in the top post) create a (text) file in /local/ports/Quakux/ called "halflife". Simply write in this text file (a shell script actually):

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
./Quakux -game valve


Then edit the file /local/dmenu/themes/Base/menu_ports.cfg and change the line: Executable = "./Quakux -game valve" into: Executable = "./hallife" so that it reads:

Code: Select all

MenuItem Half-Life
{
Icon = "res/ports/halflife.png"
Name = "Half-Life"
Executable = "./halflife"
WorkDir = "/usr/local/ports/Quakux"
}

And now here's the Hat Trick: place the file "pak1.pak" in the same folder as the shareware pak0.pak, i.e.: /usr/local/ports/Quakux/id1/. Now what's that pak1.pak file I hear you thinking... It's the non-shareware Quake levels which Half Life seems to need for it to actually run for some reason. Thats why I can't give you an url where to download it from: you'll have to pay for Quake to obtain it legally.

P.S. Save a game with: Select > New game > Save game.

Maybe that's the problem it doesn't work for you?
It works fine for me.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/local/ports/Quakux
./Quakux -game valve

Code: Select all

MenuItem HalfLife
{                   
Icon = "res/ports/quake.png"
Name = "Half-Life"                   
Executable = "./HalfLife.dge"
WorkDir = "/usr/local/ports/Quakux"
}
