Quake3 Arena

[NadaWTB]

I have the PBI Quake31.32bfreebsd-i386-PV1.0.pbi installed. I am trying to copy the pak0.pk3 to /usr/local/share/quake3/baseq3, but it keeps telling me I do not have write permission. I even tried to do it from su terminal with no joy.
I have a fresh install of PCBSD. Any help would be appreciated.

Your directory may not have write rights...by anyone. Show us a ls -l of that directory

r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 349437952 Jun 22 20:14 pak0.pk3

looks like it's there now according to your listing. It doesn't have write rights though.

[NadaWTB]

how can I change the write permissions?

[dracheflieger]

I'm not too swift on chmod but

chmod +w pak0.pk3

will give it root right writes

chmod +w pak0.pk3

I tried that and still no joy

I hate being such a n00b

Read The Fine Manual (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/permissions.html).

Thank you antik!

The next page is even more helpful to me as to the structure of the directories. Something I'll keep handy.

The problem I have is remembing something like

1=X
2=W
4=R

If it was the opistite I'd remember it since it'd be in the same order as the dir listings.

[NadaWTB]

ok I solved it finally

Printing it out and looking at it now make sense if you can count in binary...that's all it is, a binary count to 7. The only thing you really have to remember is the order of ower|group|world as read|write|(e)xecute is in alphabetical order. Sweet :o

You can user the file manager-super user mode, and just go in & paste that file with the other .pk3's. [pak1.pk3 etc.] That's what I did, worked fine.
