Solaris 2 Quake / QuakeWorld
2 
----------------------------
3 
 
4 
	This is an UNSUPPORTED version of Quake and QuakeWorld.  Don't
5 
	bother id software about it.  Bug reports will be ignored.

PORT DETAILS
8 
------------
9 
 
10 
	There are a few major difference between this port and the
11 
	vanilla Quake/QuakeWorld available on the internet.  For
12 
	optimum performance, you should copy everything to a directory
13 
	on your local system before starting play so that you are
14 
	not mounting files from a remote filesystem.
15 
 
16 
	In order to use this program, you need the files pak0.pak
17 
	and pak1.pak in the id1 directory found on a registered copy of
18 
	Quake.  You can ftp them to your Solaris host from a Windows95
19 
	machine for example.  The files must be in an id1 subdirectory from
20 
	the directory you install Quake/QuakeWorld, and all file names must
21 
	be lowercase.  Add on packages such as ThreeWave CTF work fine as
22 
	well, just place such addon packages in their own directory as you
23 
	would on a Windows95 installation.  But again, make sure all files
24 
	are lowercase.

	COMMAND LINE FLAGS:
27 
 
28 
	+pixel_multiply
29 
 
30 
		You can magnify the screen by using this flag:
31 
 
32 
		Ex: % quake +pixel_multiply 2
33 
 
34 
		You can also use this command (without the dash)
35 
		from the Quake console.  pixel_multiply is a Quake
36 
		cvar and is saved from session to session in the
37 
		config.cfg file.
38 
 
39 
	-winsize
40 
 
41 
		Set the size of the window when you start
42 
 
43 
	-count_frames
44 
 
45 
		See how many frames per second you're getting

	mouse binding
50 
 
51 
		You can bind and unbind the mouse to the Quake window
52 
		by using the Use Mouse selection in the Options menu,
53 
		or with the "_windowed_mouse" command in the console,
54 
		ex "_windowed_mouse 1" Now, moving the mouse will move
55 
		your player.  Use "_windowed_mouse 0" to unbind.  You
56 
		can bind or alias this to a key.
57 
 
58 
	Example command:
59 
 
60 
		% quake.xil +pixel_multiply 2 -winsize 400 300

WHAT IS "QUAKEWORLD" AND HOW DO I USE IT?
63 
-----------------------------------------
64 
 
65 
	In a nutshell, QuakeWorld is an extension of Quake that is
66 
	much more user friendly.  It allows the user to dynamically
67 
	download changes from the server, such as new maps and new
68 
	weapons while inside the Quake client.  It is not directly
69 
	compatible with Quake (ie, you can't connect to a Quake server
70 
	from a QuakeWorld client) but in general it is superior to
71 
	Quake.  QuakeWorld also offers much smoother play over the
72 
	Internet by using client prediction.  For more information,
73 
	check out http://www.quakeworld.net/.
74 
 
75 
	In order to use it, you must make a copy of the "qw"
76 
	directory.  Any new stuff that is downloaded from a QuakeWorld
77 
	server will be stored in this directory.  All regular Quake
78 
	flags apply so you can use the same command line as before.
79 
 
80 
	Example command:
81 
 
82 
		% qwcl.xil +pixel_multiply 2 -winsize 400 300
