Hello, I want to modify some of files in the directory "source/code/cgame" of the svn.
I've downloaded the svn in a directory with "svn co http://openarena.ws/svn/ openarena"
Now I can modify the files in the source's directory but i don't know how i can compile the game for test my changes.

Do I need "q3lcc" ? how can i find it for GNU/Linux? (i use Ubuntu)

PS: I'm French, scuse my errors please.

If you get the tar-ball: http://openarena.ws/svn/source/077/openarena077scr3.tar.bz2 (it is already on your hard disk if you have downloaded the entire svn)

Replace the cgame files with your own cgame files, go to the base source folder (the one containing 'code' and 'ui') and type 'make'. Solve problems as they occur.

How I launch the game next?
I've tried to use "build/release-linux-i386/ioquake3.i386", but it say "0 pk3 file", so I've copied pk3 file of my "/usr/share/games/openarena/baseoa", and now the game is launch but my change in the file of cgame aren't visible.

I've modified cgame/CG_event.c and cgame/CG_weapon.c, for test, and it doesn't make the changes i wish.

Just follow these small steps (and write a bash script that does it for you)

Find the 'vm' folder: build/release-*/base*/vm
zip it
rename to 'something.pk3'
create a folder named 'something' next to baseoa in the OpenArena directory
place the pk3 file in that folder
launch OA
go to mods
launch the 'something' mod

Bash command I used in the Elimination mod (modify to your need):
make && cd build/release-linux-x86_64/baseq3 && rm vm/vm.d && zip -r /media/home32/poul/games/openArena/elimination/elimination.pk3 vm && /media/home32/poul/games/openArena/ioquake3.x86_64 +set fs_game elimination +set debug 1 +set sv_pure 0
It is a little old binaries have changed since I wrote this
