Qtest turns 15 today

[DeadTenor]

Today marks the 15 year mark for the release of Qtest, the multiplayer alpha version of Quake. I actually hunted it down and played it in DoSbox. That is crazy stuff, it doesn't feel like 15 years.

You hunted it down yet it's all over the internet?

What a great day!
I just played it yesterday in DosBox.
Some years ago i asked myself howto get into the .pak files.
I still don't know it, but thats because i was too lazy to research.

Stop being lazy! Download PAKScape HERE--->> Gamefront

PakScape is a utility that allows you to extract things from a .pak file. Also useful for other games such as Hexen 1&2, Quake 1-3 and other games that use the Quake engines.

Holy shit!
I had PakScape all the time!
But didn't tried on qtest because it failed loading when using GCFScape before!
Anyways, im using pakscape from now, GCFScape is nothing for Quake.

lol yep both content were right on the site you posted this on

On another note relating to QTest - has anyone decompiled the progs.dat from it? I would really love to look inside it. Tried the decompilers for the release Quake but they don't work. Anyone done it/could look into it?

[DeadTenor]

Anyone remember how to spawn monsters in qtest?

This is QTest with the Phil2 map which adds the monsters in.

Sounds interesting
I will check it out when coming back from work.
Ive already checked out some models in qME - very nice stuff there.

[LambentHammerBurst]

Yep esp since it was the Test version.
Now for a decompiled progs.dat (Mr.Baker here's looking at you?)

Hmm i love all the hacks and the W_SetCurentAmmo bugs in it.
I got in my mod the RPG when running over Nailammo.
