I’ve had no luck with this either sadly, but I found a workaround that doesn’t use ioQuake’s 3D at all, but still gives me 3D in ioQuake!
What could I possibly mean? See here: http://forum.iz3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=3426
The iZ3D drivers are free in anaglyph mode, and GLDirect is open-source and free too.

Please note that the game is a little less responsive when the graphics go via these other drivers, so if you can get the above working, do that instead! If you can’t – well then like me at least you have one solution.

This works with the iz3d monitor and their drivers
in OpenGL options in the drivers enable quad buffer emulation and stereo
then, in ioquake3 angst build console do
r_anaglyphmode 0
r_stereoenabled 1
r_fullscreen 0
vid_restart

then you can tweak the other settings as normal

I own a Ubuntu 9.04 PC with a 512MB GeForce 8400GS.

In OpenArena, which uses the ioQuake3 engine, while using the “r_anaglyphMode 1″ cvar, my fps hovers from 9 – 15 FPS. Is there anyway to speed up the game without changing texture detail and screen resolution settings?

I will say though, r_stereoseparation 10 is probably the best 3D effect at 1024×768 for me.

Hi all!

I have a GeForce 8800 GT (Drivers Version 181.20 Whql) / Windows XP 32bits

I’m just like Emir and Gravity. I installed ioquake then I read the readme file and all the ioquake wiki page. In Quake 3 I tried every cvar commands in single player (standard mod), but ioquake said: they don’t exist (?!). So I tried to install the file from Zachary. This time the cvar works but I tried every settings, result: No 3D anaglyph appear… Nothing. Just a quake 3 still in 2D lol! What the heck, guys… O_o ?… What’s wrong ? I forgot to install or do something ?

Can you help us, please ?
We really need some help this time I think, we are lost :/

Regards,
Boby

I own an IZ3D and have been trying to get this game to run in Quad Buffer because my monitor supports it. I’m using a ati 3870 on vista 32bit. Heck, the r_zProj , r_stereoEnabled, r_stereoSeparation all do not even show as valid cvars.

I have been trying to get the 3d glasses effect working, and I seem to be doing something wrong. Could i get some advice as to how to proceed? I added these entries to my cfg file. They are placed at the top of all the other seta r_* entries.

seta r_anaglyphMode “2″
seta r_stereoEnabled “0″
seta r_zProj “256″
seta r_stereoSeparation “64″

I have tried using numerous non 0 values for anaglyph, as well as seting stereo to 1. Neither seem to yeild results.

what do I need to see in 3D? 3D glasses I guess.
