old Quaker makin a comeback

[RadRanger]

I see that I still have quake 1 on my pc and its been a loooong time since I used the "wasd " execpt to type. I still have Game spy is that still the prefered way to get to a server???
I try to get the gamespy working with the Fuquake and its jujst not liking it.
can any one help walk me through what I need to do to just get back to a server if nothing else just to get fragged the second I show up......
I still remember our clan and we use to rock... I want to get back into it now more than ever HUUUUUUITTTTT!!! hehe
ohh and I think the files arent in the correct area on the HD for gamespy to fine cause it wont start from there.
and I desperatly need a CFG , I dont have mine , it got wiped out along with the last divorce.
if any one can and will help I appericate it in advance.

I offered a suggestion in the other thread you made. I feel both your post of are the same subject, and I would like you suggest that it could have been kept in only one post. Considering your desperate to get Quake up (who wouldn't be?) double posting isn't to big of a deal, but consider my suggestions.

Generally, if you're into CA DM3 you would open the console and type connect rage.quakeone.com. We have a server list on the front page to see who's on what server.

Welcome back to Quake!

Theres a whole list of servers still up and running, it just depends on which mod you enjoy

SERVER LIST

Heres the link to Quakeone.com's full server list.

I'm not to sure how easy it is to find a NetQuake game on GameSpy, I haven't used that in so long!

[omicronthegreat]

Just avoid dredd.quakeone.com that server is garbage

[RadRanger]

thanks for the info on the servers. but I still havent gotten the game up and running , I need to know what I need from start to finnish if anyone can help.
going to try the dns thing on gamespy, as suggested.
thanks

dredd is one of the nicest quake servers out there. omi is just pissy because he got the ban for constant spamming.

I believe Omicron loved Dredd so much that once he got banned for attempts to undermine the gameplay of Dredd with his 12 year old mentality act when he found out he wasn't the best on the server, not because he ruined anyone single person's fun, but because he in general does not deserve to play on Dredd. Omicron also has been banned from almost every other server.

Let Rage have him

I don't play the "You're banned, ok you're unbanned, ok you're banned, ok you're unbanned" game. If you're banned, thats it. Game over. I play Quake, not admin games.

Omicron is like the shit that gets stuck in your asshole after you whipe. You whipe it away but after an hour or so the shit that's left causes some pretty bad irritation.

You are no longer allowed to post without adult supervision! Phenom, SUPERVISE!

[foq]

[spooker]

haha foqer nicely said

[RadRanger]

uhhh ok , but I was asking about a CFG that I could use,( now that Im up and running.well so to speak ... )the one that I am using now(borrowed) is way to complex granted its got nice eye candy and great speed (if there is a thing) but I just wand an easy to build upon basic cfg, anyone got one of those around
thanx

I've never taken any configs. I have looked at other configs and found useful commands, but I built my own config.

Some commands I use:
+mlook
gl_waterwarp 0 //gets rid of warpy water effect
gl_texturemode gl_linear_mipmap_linear //slightly better textures
gl_ztrick 1 //supposed to help with the way Quake renders
gl_triplebuffer 1 //same deal
gl_subdivide_size 512 //better sky texture
r_wateralpha .4 //clearer water on servers that allow
r_novis 1 //goes in conjunction with r_wateralpha .4
cl_forwardspeed 400 //allows better control and somewhat faster moving
cl_backspeed 400 //""
cl_movespeedkey //""
cl_rollangle 0 //gets rid of the way your screen changes when you strafe
pq_scoreboard_pings 0 //it doesn't work right anyway
pq_maxfps 100 //provides better control even with vsync enabled

I don't even have quake installed as I just reformatted but that's pretty much my autoexec
