Newbie needs some help

[revilumi]

Hey guys, I was looking for some help about to play quake with mods and bots. Fotunately I have a registered version of quake, but by some reason, doesn't want to run this mods. Is the same for all the mod's. I dont know the version of my quake (it's very old, I think it is from 1996) and its just a zip. This version has both pak's (pak0.pak and pak1.pak).

My question is: ¿is posible to make my version more actual?.

If you like it, I could give you my version of quake(its just 21Mb), you can tell me where. You can ckeck it and make a conclusion about the existance of a solution.

Excuse me if I have a bad english, I'm from a country of South America.

Hiya.

First off, Baker is great with this type of thing. I would most definately listen to what he would have to say.

We need to direct you to http://www.quakeone.com/index.php?ind=guides. This is an excellent place to get the information you need. You don't have to read everything, only those that pertain to you.

1) can you get quake running normally without mods?

2) can you link us to the mod you want to use?

uno) ¿Puede obtenes usted Quake correr normalmente sin modulaciones?

dos) ¿Nos puede ligar usted a la modulación que usted quiere utilizar?

If you supply some more information like the ...

1. The mod you are trying (maybe with a link to the file)
2. The command line you are using
3. The error message you get

It would be easier to help you.

Should be pretty easy to get most mods to go, a typical mod command line more or less works as follows:

1. Unzip the file to c:\quake\yourmod
2. c:\quake\glquake.exe -game yourmod +map yourmod

Or whatever the readme says. If you supply more info, I can give you a better answer.

The mods that I use are from quaketerminus.com, and I was triying to run Quess and all the mods stored in that webpage. But I can`t run anyone of them, I've readed the readme of each mod, but it doesn't seem s that some mod work with my quake (without glquake, that's why I just have 1 Mb of Video and 200 mhz and 64 Mb of Ram). About the error message: The command line just say's in an example Quess: "config.dat vars had been changed and progdefs.h is out of date", in other cases(quake 1 arena especially) "can't load pop.lmp". I don`t know what I have to do. That's why I ask to you people, that receive my version of quake, analyze it and if its possible create a patch to actualize it.

I would recommend installing ProQuake from http://www.proquake.com

With those computer specs, are you using DOS Quake? If you can run WinQuake, I would try that.

Here is what I recommend.

Install Rocket Arena from this link:

http://www.quakeone.com/index.php?in...ile&file_id=13

Then Click:

Start -> Programs -> Quake -> Rocket Arena -> Listen LAN Server

Does it load?

You also might try looking around on http://www.quake1.br.nu/

It is difficult to make assessment of problems on underpowered machines, but if anything will run, the above Rocket Arena will and if that works that is a positive sign.

Post back how it goes.

Hey Baker, I really appreciate your help. I've recently uploaded my version of quake in a webhost page. Please download it, and if that's possible, Could you see what's happening with it?, because my Pc is unable to run Proquake. And its the only that I have to get fun and make my homeworks.This is the page(http://rapidshare.de/files/34522064/QUAKE.ZIP). By the way,could you recommend me some bots to play with Quake, the reason is I dont have Internet.

[Baker]

I took a look at that and have some suggestions. Check your private messages.

As far as bots go, there are some in this section:

I think the FBCA bots work very well. Others have different preferences on the best bots.
