This is the current CVS source for QuakeForge, our tree for the future
|
||||
unification of the Quake and QuakeWorld sources. I wish I could say more, but
|
||||
we're currently working hard on getting the original Quake to compile under the
|
||||
merged tree. Once it's compiling and running in the current state, merging and
|
||||
enhancement will continue. :)

The QuakeForge Project would like to thank Id Software for the release of

Quake 1 under the GPL and their support of the open source community.
|
||||
|
||||
This file details how to get Quake running on your system and what to do
|
||||
if you have problems. We would like to thank Gandalf Technologies, Inc
|
||||
and MPath Interactive for the use of their technology. We would also like to
|
||||
thank Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails for their tremendous contributions
|
||||
to Quake's entire audio portion.

I. Quake System Requirements
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
IBM PC and Compatibles, PPC, Alpha, UltraSparc, Indigo2
|
||||
VGA Compatible Display or better
|
||||
8MB RAM minimum, 16MB recommended (16 MB required for running under Win95)
|
||||
CD-ROM drive no longer *required*
|
||||
Linux, FreeBSD, IRIX, MS-DOS 5.0 or better, Windows 95
|
||||
Hard drive space - 30MB for Shareware, 80MB for registered.
|
||||
Floating point processor required.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
II. Running and Compiling Quake
|
||||
-------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Read the INSTALL file for more information on compiling.
|
||||
|
||||
After you have compiled successfully, you must download the shareware
|
||||
version of Quake 1 to play. Insert the proper binaries in the same
|
||||
directory as the unpacked shareware files, and run.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
III. Audio Setup
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
Removed, to be combined under a section named, "OS Specific Issues"
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
IV. CD Audio Input
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Removed, to be combined under a section named, "OS Specific Issues"
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
V. Mouse Setup
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
Removed, to be combined under a section named, "OS Specific Issues"
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
VI. Booting Clean
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
Removed, to be combined under a section named, "OS Specific Issues"
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
VII. Known bug fixes
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
In software rendering, flicker can occur... If you notice any flickering,
|
||||
type the following in the quake console: gl_ztrick 0
|
||||
|
||||
Add that to your quake configuration files, so you don't have to
|
||||
constantly type it every time you play.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
VIII. Known Problems
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Problem: Zombies sometime get stuck on the ground and connot get back up.
|
||||
(You can still hear them, but you cannot kill them. This bug makes it
|
||||
impossible to get 100% kills on whatever level it occurs on.)
|
||||
Solution: There is no workaround for this bug.
|
||||
|
||||
Problem: It is sometimes possible for the player to get stuck in a room or
|
||||
in a wall.
|
||||
Solution: If you get stuck, use the 'kill' console command. It is a good
|
||||
idea to save your game often.
|
||||
|
||||
Problem: View centering problems. Sometimes during a game, the view will
|
||||
not
|
||||
center properly. The end result is the player view looking up torwards
|
||||
the
|
||||
ceiling while walking.
|
||||
Solution: Exit to the next level or use the 'kill' console command..
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
IX. Troubleshooting
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If Quake fails to start up, or has problems not addressed elsewhere in the
|
||||
documentation, try the -safe command line switch, which disables a number
|
||||
of parts of Quake that can be problems if there are hardware or
|
||||
configuration
|
||||
problems. The -safe command line switch is equivalent to -stdvid,
|
||||
-nosound,
|
||||
-nonet, and -nocdaudio together. Those four switches do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
-stdvid: disables VESA video modes.
|
||||
|
||||
-nosound: disables sound card support.
|
||||
|
||||
-nonet: disables network card support.
|
||||
|
||||
-nocdaudio: disables CD audio support.
|
||||
|
||||
If -safe makes the problem go away, try using each of the switches
|
||||
individually to isolate the area in which you're experiencing the problem,
|
||||
then either correct the configuration or hardware problem or play Quake
|
||||
with
|
||||
that functionality disabled.
|
||||
|
||||
If you still have problems, try booting clean in conjunction with
|
||||
the -safe command line parameter. For information on booting clean, refer
|
||||
to the "Booting Clean" section above.
|
||||
|
||||
If you experience page faults while running Quarterdeck's QDPMI DPMI
|
||||
server,
|
||||
this is caused by a bug in QDPMI. Workarounds: Remove QDPMI from
|
||||
CONFIG.SYS,
|
||||
issue the command QDPMI OFF before running QUAKE, or get the update patch
|
||||
for QDPMI from Quarterdeck. You may be running QDPMI without knowing it
|
||||
if
|
||||
you have QEMM installed, because it can be installed as part of the QEMM
|
||||
installation.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
X. Technical Support
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Do *not* call Id Software for tech support with QuakeForge's modified
|
||||
Quake, they no longer support our particular version and wouldn't know how
|
||||
to help you anyways. Please go to the QuakeForge homepage for more
|
||||
information on support at: http://www.quakeforge.net/
|
||||
|
||||
Thank you.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
XI. Joystick notes
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
Your joystick must be plugged in when Quake is launched.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a joystick plugged in, but don't want to use it in Quake
|
||||
(it slows the game down a few percent), or you have weird hardware that
|
||||
doesn't like being tested as a joystick add "-nojoy" to your Quake
|
||||
command line.
|
||||
|
||||
You can turn off joystick reading during the game by typing "joystick 0"
|
||||
at
|
||||
the Quake command console.
|
||||
|
||||
You MUST configure your buttons from the configure keys menu before they
|
||||
will
|
||||
work. There is no default configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
If your joystick or interface card improperly sets the third or fourth
|
||||
joystick buttons, type "joybuttons 2" at the quake console or in your
|
||||
.CFG file.
|
||||
|
||||
The "mlook" button command now lets the joystick as well as the mouse
|
||||
control
|
||||
pitch angles.
|
||||
|
||||
The "sidestep" buttom command works on joysticks as with mice and keyboard
|
||||
movement.
|
||||
|
||||
The "invert mouse up/down" menu option also inverts the joystick pitch
|
||||
direction.
