[sNg26]

this might sound like a noob question but earlier today my friend asked me if i could install quake for him using the darkplaces engine everything went smoothly until the he tried playing it everytime he moves the mouse, the mouse looks straight up and stays there no matter where you move it..i tried re installing it again and still the same thing so i tried all the other quake ports and still the same thing i tried messing around with the mouse settings and not much luck there either everything works fine on my laptop but what the hell is wrong with his can anyone help?

Not sure if this will help with the current calamity, but this will help when using DP to play online (add this to autoexec.cfg):

in_pitch_max 79.45312118530272726999999999999999999999999999999 999999999999999
in_pitch_min -69.60937118530272726999999999999999999999999999999 999999999999999

This restricts the angle of mouse movement "allowed" by Proquake servers. DP is capable of looking higher and lower, and if you do so on the client end, the server ends up rejecting it and screws with your mouse movement. This will keep you "in range".
