/quake/quake.exe (if you have eighter of the
mission packs or use winquake you dont need to
do this)
Qfiles isn't tested on GLquake (im getting a 3dfx card soon,
and then i will start to test it in GL), but please send me
a mail if you find any problems with GL.
Its not tested in multiplayer eighter, if you get the chance
to try it in multiplayer, tell me how/if it works (it should
work, but it might be abit unbalanced)
