Quake 1 for XP

Deadwing

Hey all, just wondering if any of you can help. I have a copy of quake 1 that i bought years ago for my old win95 machine, and was looking to relive the glory days of sucking ass at quake, but cant run it on XP. Anyone know if theres a patch available or anything? Thanks. Oh and i heard something about FuhQuake a while ago..what is that, something like Jdoom?

tman

there are plenty of JDoom style patches, FuhQuake is the best that i've tried...
its well worth seeking out.

if you want an authentic quake representation, without all the fancy open gl/direct 3d gubbins.
do a google for winquake.
if you can't find it i'll upload my copy...

Fuhquake is for losers

Deadwing

Okay well im d/ling win quake..ill let you know how it works out for me, cheers

Holy crap is fuhquake really 99mb??? Jdoom and the model pack was only like 11mb combined!

tman

there's a smaller version of fuhquake without all the models & stuff... i think it's something like 5mb...

BoobeR

shouldn't this be in the quake forum??
oh well.. i suppose not as many people would reply considering not as many people go there

Deadwing

Yeah im downloading a small version now..its 4.31mb. Hope it actually works..anyway cheers again

*claps slowly* That was seriously hilarious. Really. Winquake? A f*cking siesmic surveying program? Nice one, you knob.

Anyway, Fuhquake works fine..alot better than WIN-F*CKING-QUAKE did, thanks for the help all. Anyone know if you can download the new skins etc seperately?

tman

perhaps if you clicked a link lower down the list... like this one... :rolleyes:

Argh. Okay..ive got fuhquake running..but god dammit..itll only run in 640x480, so its got enormous black borders around it..and you cant change the resolution without going into the command line. Anyone know how to actually get the command line to work?? i read the fuhquake manual..and it says to type -width (600) -height(800) or whatever into the console. I guess im doing it arseways cause whenever i type it in it just comes up "Player: -width (800)....etc etc" you get the picture. anyone know what to actually type to get the damn thing to work?

zAbbo

u msunt be typing from the command line, can you make a batch file to pass those arguments

Deadwing

ive no idea. im pressing the ~ key to bring up the console and typing it int here, is that right? All this hassle to play an 8 year old game...*L*

COMMAND LINE!
Not console.

Try typing

C:\quake\fuhquake.exe -width 800 -height 600

in run. (change as applicable)

Or make a batchfile/shortcut/whatever.
