Q: Why do I get "Error: Mod_ForName: NULL name" when trying to load a map using map command?

A: You can put commands you want to autostart in PathDependsOnYourSystem/Fodquake/fodquake/autoexec.cfg.
Q: When I take quad the screen goes blue and when i have pent it goes red. What's the command to prevent the screen from changing color?
A: v_pentcshift 0; v_quadcshift 0. You can also use values like 0.5 which will give you slightly less color change.

Q: I don't see other players' coloured chat on Mvdsv/KTX servers, why?
A: Mvdsv/KTX strips colour information from chat for all clients that are not Ezquake. If you wish to see coloured chat on such servers, you must set the cl_imitate_client cvar to "ezquake-1.8.2".
Q: How Fodquake was born?
A: I'm in France, without all my usual gear, without MorphOS. I have an amd64 machine running Linux and I need my Quake fix.
I grabbed my Fuhquake/MorphOS sources, fixed up the Linux build and found out that it didn't really work on 64 bit systems.
So I spent some time debugging it and making it work on 64 bit systems. That was how Fodquake was born.

QuakeWorld, FPP game, released by Id Software in December 1996, opensourced in December 1999. Dynamic action, atmosphere, tricks, frags, fun, community, customization, everything makes QW unusual. After many years QW is still popular and considered to be the best multiplayer game.
Evolved from FuhQuake, Fodquake takes the experience to a new level, gives you a vast number of enhancements and new features. A QuakeWorld client for sensible people who expect (or not) higher level of happiness, so it is easier to frag, die and smile.
