Looking to get back into the game but I'm not sure of what all do I need. Do I need to go out and get the original game and do updates or just get files off of this site? I have searched but couldn't come up anything. Thank you.

In a nutshell you need 3 things
pak0.pak
pak1.pak
Qrack
Quake can also be bought fairly cheap from Steam. That would get you just about everything you need, everything else can be obtained freely. -
Okay so I can just get those three files and I'd be good to go? Sorry, it's been awhile since I've even thought about playing this again.Comment

Well the pak0 and pak 1 contain the models,sounds,levels and such while Qrack would be the engine you use to render all the cool stuff... Qrack is really just a personal preference of mine and there are many Quake clients you could use.
technically, yes that is all you need to play Quake both online and off...
However if you want to play on a server that has custom maps & mods then you would need to obtain the same mods the server hosts also.. like CTF has a flag model so you would need the CTF mod if you wanted to plat CTF.Comment

Okay, thank you. I just wanted to make sure. I downloaded the 4 files that are hosted on here. Is there a certain order I need to install them; i got the pakx, pak1, and the two qrack files.Comment

You should then have 3 folders.
There's no real order, just make sure you have the proper file/folder structure.
Quake/
Quake/ID1
Quake/Qrack
When you extract Qrack you should have Qrack.exe and it's DLL's in the Quake/ folder.
Good night.Comment

Okay, I did all that but I don't have the pak0.pak file. That's the only one I don't have or do i rename the pakx file?Comment

Pak0.pak and Pak1.pak are standard mandatory files that come with Quake 1 full version. you don't get them from an alternate mod (qrack/ctf/painkeep/TF) you shouldn't have to rename anything.Originally posted by Deathwish View PostComment

Okay so I don't need them necessarily to play correct? I know I'm asking so many noob questions, just making sure I have everything before trying to play and get mad/upset about it not working.Last edited by Deathwish; 11-25-2013, 11:12 AM.Comment

Yes, you'll need both paks in order to run the game. Pak0.pak can be freely obtained by getting the shareware version of quake, but Pak1.pak contains the content from the paid version.
Most servers and mods require both files. Unless you have a full Quake1 CD laying around, its easiest to get them from the steam (paid) install.Comment
