  1. 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.
  6.        
  7. 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.
  25.                        
  26.         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 <width> <height>
  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
  46.  
  47.         GAME SETTINGS
  48.  
  49.         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
  61.  
  62. 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
  83.  
  84. WHERE CAN I FIND OUT ABOUT...
  85. -----------------------------
  86.  
  87.         If you've got questions about Quake, rest assured that there
  88.         are answers out there.  Try checking out these web sites:
