Quake Epsilon: How do I play the expansion packs with it?

[hardcore_gamer]

So I am using the Darkplaces based mod "Epsilon" and its great.

However, I have 2 problems:

1. The music has been replaced with new a new one. I understand that they weren't able to include the original music, but can I use it somehow anyways?

2. How do I use Epsilon with the expansion packs? The readme says showed me how to use the original Quake but I don't know how to play the expansions with Epsilon.

Anyone knows how?

i think there is a diff icon in the quake folder for each expansion and the music is in a pak3 folder so you can replace it...

But I am talking about the Epsilon mod here. It comes in its very folder, and I had to remove a couple of PAK files from the original Quake folder into the epsilon folder to play Quake with Epsilon. I want to know how I can play the expansions in the same way with Epsilon.

EDIT: In which PAK file is the music located?

here you can get the soundtracks of quake plus mission-packs for use with DP:

the songs arent situated in any pak, since quake originally played songs right off of the original cds in original quake


for playing the mission-packs in dp, all you need is to make 2 folders, one called 'hipnotic' for MP1 and one called 'rogue' for MP2
then browse to your original quake installation, and you need to copy the pak0.pak from both of the same folders in original quake installation over to those folders in your DP folder.

and ive made easy-to-use bat files to start mission-packs:
bat for mission-pack1
bat for mission-pack2

just simply drop those in your darkplaces installation folder after copying over the pak files to their correct folders, and then use those bat files to start the mission-packs

thank you splitterface i only had the Epsilon mod for like 30 min befor i deleted it cose my system did not like it. i was trying to recall the best i could how the files were set up...

[talisa]

those are just basic dp instructions which apply no matter what mod you got added.

ive never used the epsilon mod cuz i dont believe in those "amazing hd compilation packs".

but those instructions apply no matter what HD pack or such you have installed

the cd sound track is in the id1 folder quake1_music_diabolipak.pk3

Thanks for the instructions!

But there is a problem. Those BAT files are just text files! They don't start anything but instead just open in notepad. Unless I did something wrong?

EDIT: ah i see what you mean. no clue why mediafire decides to add .txt to the end of the file-name when you download it
here's instead a rar with the bat files, so that mediafire doesnt rename the file-extension http://www.mediafire.com/?sb17f99f8d6ymaf

.

i am getting seriously fed up with mediafire...
first blocking downloads of split rars, then blocking downloads of my dj-mixes, and now this bullshit

Ah! Thanks!

It works now. Don't understand why the old bat files did not work

[talisa]

for some stupid bulsshit reason mediafire seemed to rename the file-extension of them to .txt when they werent packed

[MadGypsy]

the "stupid" reason is, you were uploading "executable" files to their server. I would destroy your .bat extensions on my site too. I'd have to be stupid not to. What if your .bat contained directives to drop the entire database or shut down the server (or something)

[Guest]

Cause a .bat or .exe or whatever is executed on "your" machine not the host.

If that was so easy hehe.
