[Cartman[KiN]]

wow...

Can't believe there's still a strong following after all these years. I haven't played since TFC was released, but I was an avid TF'er until valve entered the scene... Anyway It's nice to know there's still a community out there.

If Team Fortress was your thing, check www.quakeservers.net and I think you will be little more surprised than you are now. This site is mostly dedicated to original Quake as opposed to Quakeworld which is where Team Fortress play happens.

/At least if you check at the right time of day.

hello, I'm Briggs. Just got the game today and I really like it :d , I played alot of doom and I'm a fan of the older games, but I just got this after watching a speed run for it. I play half-life 2 death match and I found that the movement in this quake is Exactly the same. so now here I am giving it a try, I went to the Online server where is said to go in the "play quake free" section on this site...sadly no one was there...

if someone will add me to Xfire or steam that playes quake that would be great! :d
im looking forward to playing!

I'll play some freequake with you sometime. It's a shame those freequake servers alway seem deserted 99% of the time.

[Orginal or EXTRA CRISPY]

Hello my name is Original or EXTRA CRISPY? I have been in this website for a long time playing Quake and reading forum posts.(Okay, Okay I just found out yesterday). Most just call me Crispy, or Original.
I am playing from Thailand and am immune to comments about my ping.

I am quite new to uake. It all started when I played Death match classic at the cafe with some friends. Later on I found a copy of uake 4: Special Edition. It came with uake 2. I wanted to see what uake 1 was like. I found this site.

I am overwhelmed by what I can do. Please link me to pages with deal with these questions if possible. Let me ask a few questions:
1. First off, do you like your food Original or EXTRA CRISPY?!?
2. What is Quake World and how is it different from Quake?
3. What about Team Fortress? Is there anyway for me play it?
4. Will the ping be bearable for me since I'm playing from Asia?
5. I upgraded my net connection but that hasn't helped with my ping. What can I do?
6. How do mods work in Quake?
7. Bots. How can i install em? I want to set up a server to play with my friends but we are so few...
8. When I clicked multiplayer it asked about I.P. How does this work?
9. Is getting Quake from this site legal? Its on steam right? Doesn't I.D. still have the license?
10. Why does the Rocket Launcher and nade launcher share the same ammo?
11. What do you think of TFC and TF2?
12. Are you tired of reading my questions?
13. What do you think of turkeys with flamethrowers?

[Canadian*Sniper]

1. Original
2. QuakeWorld had a lot of huge differences back when everyone was still on dialup. It would register your rocket to be aimed where you were aiming at the same time it was fired. Where in netquake (or quake) the rocket goes where you told it to when you pressed ATTACK (not when the rocket fires). Since everyone pings 50-150 usually, there's not much of a difference between the two except for the communities and the other small things I didn't mention. Got all that? :x
3. TF is a quakeworld mod. Download and play
4. You tell us You may have your best luck in the euroquake servers. Try bigfoot.quake1.net or fanders.servegame.org.
5. Do some research on all your local ISP deals
6. in the command to run quake (normally "quake.exe") you put in "quake.exe -game modfolder" where modfolder is the name of the folder which contains you mod
7. Frikbots http://www.inside3d.com/frikbot/fbx/
8. If you know the IP or URL of the quake server then you can put the details in there and connect
9. This site doesn't host the full version of quake
10. The same reason gibbed heads are ginormous
11. TF2 pwns
12. sleep time
13. I think nothing of it.

[Orginal or EXTRA CRISPY]

1. Damn!
6. What are some good mods to install?
7. Is FrikBot just a mod which is near identical to Quake except it has bots? If so does this mean my friend needs FrikBot installed to play with me (not a big issue since he probably wants bots to play in his own free time.)
8. I read a few if the guides and got a browser.
9. What content is missing?
10. No comment. (Sounds like signature material.)

[Mr.Burns]

Greetings oh crispy one,

6. Travail is good single player mod as is Slide. There are plenty more to choose from here at Spirit's Quaddicted site or here at Megazoids Quakterminus site. For Multiplayer mods you might consider trying Painkeep and RuneQuake.
8. There is a browser on this site. just click the servers link at the top left of the page. if you want to connect to them with the full version of Quake go into console by pressing the tilde key "~" and then type connect servername.somewhere.net:26000 where
servername.somewhere.net is the quake server you want to connect to and 26000 is the corresponding port on that server. It is usually 26000 but sometimes servers run 2 or 3 mods on different ports.
9. I believe it is an additional PAk file

I hope this helps

6. Which file do i have to edit to make the mod run?

[Mr.Burns]

6. Personally I tend to make a Dos batch file for each mod and in it you would put something along the lines of..
glpro.exe -game yourmodfoldername
This is assuming that the Quake executable you are using is glpro.exe (there are others such as Qrack and Darkplaces) and the mod you wish to play is saved the yourmodfolder folder within the parent Quake folder. All you normally need to do then is execute (double click) the Batch file at which point Quake should start up and load your mod. Then just start a Multiplayer or Single Player game depending on which type your mod is designed for.

Hope this helps

Monty
