Different quake engines11/9/2023 You may want to do something different!įinally the "More Info" section is a link dump in case you're not tired of reading about Quake. But keep in mind that these examples are tuned specifically for my own tastes. The sections near the end contain cut-and-paste-able examples of command lines and config files for each Quake engine. The middle sections, from "Mouselook" through "Limits", describe how to deal with some of the more fundamental bits of Quake configuration that aren't always easily handled through the menus. If you're familiar with those ideas then you could skim or skip those sections. The next few sections get into general descriptions of how the Quake menus, config file, console, and command line work. If you're new to Quake then you should probably just follow the quickstart, and come back to the rest of the guide later as a reference if you have problems. Read the Quake Engines guide if you want to learn more about them.Īs for this guide, we lead off with a necessary warning about Windows issues and then go straight to a quickstart. all those odd words are names of other programs that can be used to play Quake. When you see a reference to ezQuake, FTE, Fodquake, DarkPlaces, QuakeSpasm, Fitzquake Mark V, DirectQ, Engoo, qbism Super8, ProQuake, or Qrack. If you're not familiar with the available varieties of Quake engines - or even what "Quake engines" means - then you might want to take a look at this other guide first: Happy Quaking!įorum questions about Quake configuration have covered a lot of different ground in the past, so there's a lot of different topics to cover.

Sorry I'm not engaging with it these days, but that's life. In any case, thanks for the comments and other feedback over the years. So I can more easily poke at it occasionally to keep it up-to-date. That's a more focussed set of tools/docs that doesn't try to cover Every Quake Thing it's just about getting a good modern singleplayer setup going as fast as possible. I had some guides errata posted on the forum a while back, which might be interesting, although that's getting stale now too.Ī more up-to-date thing that might be useful/helpful for some of you is the Quake Singleplayer Starter Pack. Modern "Quake engines" like Quakespasm, Mark V, FTE, and ezQuake are still being developed though, and so the features and behaviors of the newest versions of these engines may be somewhat different than what these guides describe now. Since Quake is a classic game, a lot of the stuff in these guides doesn't need to change. Not a lot of game time, and what I do have goes into things other than guide-writing these days. Family stuff, etc., you know how it goes. I haven't maintained these guides in a while. I'm putting this generic update on all my Quake guides here on Steam, just as an FYI:
