I'm trying to get the GOG version of Quake 4 running on Ubuntu 16.04. To cut a long story short, I've run:
$ sudo apt install quake4 libasound2-plugins:i386 libsdl1.2debian:i386 game-data-packager
I've unpacked the non-Galaxy installer files into a new directory and have innoextract'ed the game file. Then I've run:
$ game-data-packager quake4 --package quake4-bin --binary-executables .
$ game-data-packager quake4 --package quake4-data --binary-executables .
The game-data-packager script seems to download the old quake4-linux-1.4.2.x86.run (which is the source of the problem, I think).
I have installed both of the resulting files and started the game by typing "quake4". The intro plays just as I remember it, but then I'm asked to enter the CD key. It seems the quake4-linux-1.4.2.x86.run binary is not DRM-free like the GOG-packaged Windows version. Any ideas how to get past this?
