Quake is a singleplayer and multiplayer first-person action, FPS and shooter game in the Quake series.

Originally released for MS-DOS, patches were later released for the MS-DOS version to take advantage of compatible 3D accelerators at the time.

Official source ports for Microsoft Windows include WinQuake which utilises DirectX 3.0 and is visually identical to the software-rendered MS-DOS version, and GLQuake, a fully 3D accelerated version of the game using OpenGL.

The engine is open source with modern multi-platform ports available; see Source ports for more information. The game utilized a mixed-mode disc for data and music, which can be problematic for modern systems. See below for fixes.

Version differences

Quake: The Offering includes the base game along with the two mission packs.

Name	Description
Qtest	A technology test released on February 24, 1996, a few months before the full release. Meant to showcase the multiplayer and level themes of the full game. Includes 3 maps and many elements of the game that were either cut or changed for the final release. Further details can be found on Quake Wiki.
Quake (shareware)	This version is the official demo for the game (besides Qtest). Only the first episode ("Dimension of the Doomed") is available to play. Also, the shareware PAK file can be downloaded separately from the main release (to be used with source ports).
Quake	The original DOS version. Can be run in DOSBox for newer systems. Maximum supported resolution of 1280 x 1024.
VQuake	The first hardware accelerated version of Quake, released shortly before GLQuake. This MS-DOS port is specifically designed for the Vérité chipset by short-lived company Rendition, using their proprietary Speedy3D API. Uniquely for the time, this version offered edge anti-aliasing, adjustable from 0 to 7, covering various combinations of world, object and particle polygons. As there is no emulation of this hardware available, this port cannot be played on modern computers.
GLQuake	A hardware accelerated Windows port of Quake, rendered with OpenGL. Greatly improves the overall look, allows widescreen resolutions of up to 2560 x 1440 and higher FOV. Screen resolutions need to be specified as command line arguments before launch. This port also has a few regressions; it does not support overbright lighting^[3] and has weaker colored lighting than software rendered Quake. For a complete list of differences between GLQuake and Quake / WinQuake, see here.
WinQuake	Native 32-bit version of Quake designed to run under Windows 9x or NT 4.0. Takes advantage of DirectX but has no 3D acceleration. Closely resembles DOS Quake in appearance. Maximum supported resolution of 1280x1024.
QuakeWorld	A multiplayer only version of Quake specifically designed to play over the Internet. A version using OpenGL rendering is also available (GLQuakeWorld). See Quake vs. QuakeWorld for specifics.

Quake vs. QuakeWorld

When Quake initially launched its netcode was not optimized for the dial-up connections of the time, and so consequently QuakeWorld was created, a separate exe for the game which was multiplayer only with adjusted physics and severely revamped netcode. As personal internet connections improved, the original Quake protocol became more relevant. The original, non-QuakeWorld version, is now often referred to as NetQuake, and there is a divide as to which to play. Serious competitive players are very sensitive to the differences between them, however for the starting out player the differences will be barely noticeable, and the experienced but more casual players play whichever, simply going for servers where a fun time can be had.

Monetization

DLC and expansion packs

Name	Notes
Mission Pack No. 1: Scourge of Armagon	A three-episode expansion pack by Hipnotic Interactive.
Mission Pack No. 2: Dissolution of Eternity	A two-episode expansion pack by Rogue Entertainment.
Abyss of Pandemonium - The Final Mission	An unofficial and previously commercial two-episode expansion pack by Impel Development Team. An updated version has been re-released for free by one of the expansion's creators. Installing the Improved Edition patch with further bugfixes from QuakeOne forums is recommended.
Dimension of the Past	An extra episode created by MachineGames and released for free as a gift for the game's 20th anniversary.^[4] Included with Quake (2021).

Mission Packs No. 1 and No. 2 are no longer available for purchase individually on Steam as they are already included for free with Quake (2021) and bundled with the original DOS version as of the August 19, 2021 update.^[5] For Steam owners of the individual Mission Packs prior to August 19, 2021, it is recommended to uninstall them to avoid having redundant files and re-validate the integrity of the base game as they can launched through the base game's launch options.

Several unofficial add-ons were also released. Full list available here at the Quake wiki.

Essential improvements

Source ports

Since the release of the Quake engine's source code, various engine overhauls and source ports have been created to enhance or modify the game in different ways. Which one to use is a matter of taste.

To install a source port, extract its contents into the same folder as the vanilla executable and run the modified engine's executable. This does not apply to the Ironwail source port since it will detect the game's files regardless of the executable's position.

QuakeSpasm, QuakeSpasm Spiked, or vkQuake are recommended for authenticity to the original game's features and maximum mod compatibility. Ironweil is recommended for a mix of authenticity and compatibility with quality of life improvements and optimizations for modern hardware. DarkPlaces is recommended for graphical enhancements. Quake "Epsilon" is an all-in-one modernized version.

QuakeSpasm, vkQuake and Ironwail have native support the Kex Engine remaster's game files.^[6]^[7]^[8]

Name	Description
DarkPlaces	DarkPlaces is a 2nd common port for new players which adds modern graphical features such as realtime shadowmaps, bloom, and normalmapping. It also supports both the netQuake, and QuakeWorld networking protocols, as well as its own. It scales well on visual effects from the modern to the classic and sports fast rendering for modern GPUs. It has some problems with mods that depend on the original Quake's bugs that the engine has fixed.
DirectQ (Archived)	DirectQ is a Direct3D oriented engine with a few tweaks to the menu but little to graphical improvements, it simply runs on DirectX instead of OpenGL. It mostly resembles the classic look with some quirks such as the HUD being based on Nintendo 64 version, outside of that it performs excellently. Note that this source port is no longer under active development. The latest release is v1.9.
Fruitz of Dojo Quake	A Cocoa port of the engine; it allows Quake and QuakeWorld to be played on modern Macs. Also includes their OpenGL equivalents with the download. A more graphically advanced companion, TenebraeQuake is also available. Older versions of both can be downloaded here (warning, adult content!)
FTEQuakeWorld	FTEQuakeWorld is targeted at QuakeWorld players while adding support for other Quake engine games. It features enhanced visuals, voice chat support, and better modding capability for QuakeWorld servers.
nQuake	nQuake is a complete QuakeWorld package, designed to quickly get into multiplayer with all the required features in a modern context. You can also optionally install a pack during installation to enhance the overall look of the game.
ezQuake	A more lean version of nQuake.
QuakeSpasm	QuakeSpasm is a descendant of FitzQuake which like that engine, it focuses on fixing bugs and stability, lifting engine limits such as maximum items and geometry detail and restoring the missing functionality that the original software renderer had but the OpenGL renderer lacked. Unlike many other engines, QuakeSpasm does not alter the style of the original game and doesn't fix game-changing bugs that affects mods. It also has native support for anti-aliasing ^{[Note 1]} and anisotropic filtering^{[Note 2]}. The most commonly used source port in the community. By default, QuakeSpasm doesn’t play demo footage upon boot the way the original did; this behavior can be restored using the `-fitz` Command line argument.
QuakeSpasm Spiked	QuakeSpasm Spiked is a fork of QuakeSpasm that allows the game to run above 72 FPS without breaking physics^{[Note 3]}, includes improved networking, voicechat, and increases other limits.
vkQuake	vkQuake is a Quake 1 port using Vulkan instead of OpenGL for rendering. It is based on the popular QuakeSpasm and QuakeSpasm-Spiked ports and runs all mods compatible with it like Arcane Dimensions or In The Shadows. Compared to QuakeSpasm, vkQuake also features a software Quake-like underwater effect, has better color precision, generates mipmap for water surfaces at runtime, and makes physics independent from framerate. It is currently the best source port for modern GPUs with Vulkan support.
Ironwail	A fork of QuakeSpasm that is focused on high performance over compatibility, allowing the engine to run advanced and demanding maps such as Peril, Raven Keep, and Ter Shibboleth: Drake Redux on lower-end hardware with faster loading times compared to QuakeSpasm Spiked or vkQuake. It also features an expanded options menus with ease of access to mods via the in-game menu and software renderer emulation options to authethically recreate the original look of the game. It is currently the best source port for modern and older GPUs with OpenGL support.
Mark V	Forked from FitzQuake, Mark V also contains features from other source ports such as JoeQuake or ProQuake. Besides that it also has their own such as support for Nehahra mod, copy & paste in console, saving multiplayer games, external texture and .vis support, extended coop features, software mode inspired by WinQuake and many more. As for the music, it only supports CD audio and external .mp3 files. No longer in active development.
Quake "Epsilon"	Based on DarkPlaces, Quake Epsilon is a complete overhaul with high resolution textures and models as well as new sounds and original music. Incorporates minor mods and tweaks, but doesn't detract from the original gameplay. Can be used with the full version of Quake and its mission packs.
Quake: Ray Traced	Based on vkQuake, this source port adds a path tracing renderer to the game.

Ultimate Quake Patch

More information can be found here.

The opengl32.dll files must be deleted before applying the patch.

The source port included uses an outdated version and the Scourge of Armagon soundtrack is badly ripped.

Patches for the Mission Pack can be found below:

This patch fixed numerous compatibility issues found with the game. It's designed only for the Steam version but is also compatible with retail versions by changing the install path of the mod. It includes the Darkplaces source port along with the missing soundtrack.

Vanilla Restoration Patch

An alternative patch to the above that aims to fix compatibility issues with GLQuake and WinQuake through dgVoodoo 2, restores the missing in-game soundtrack in MP3 format while using a modified version of winmm.dll for proper music looping, custom autoexec.cfg files to enable mouselook and crosshairs, and includes QWSVLaunch and Simple Quake Launcher to ease launching the game.

Installers and launchers

Quake Injector

A Java-based client for the Quaddicted single player map and mod database that runs on Windows, OS X and Linux. It provides the ability to install and uninstall maps and mods (with their requirements/dependencies) from the site directly on Quake with a single click and includes information about each mod, such as release data, rating (from the Quaddicted editor), title, authors, a brief description (from the editor) and screenshots. Also it can (with varying levels of success) find out if there are known maps already installed. Quake Injector however does not provide access to every map released for Quake (it has no support for multiplayer maps, for example, unless they come as part of a singleplayer map pack or they are singleplayer maps in addition to multiplayer), but it is very close to that and provides an easy method to try new maps and mods.

Please note that under OS X and Linux, many older maps will need manual editing of their filenames because the original files contained mixed case or upper case letters.

MiniQL

A small Quake launcher that provides an easy front-end to running any user map or original map by scanning Quake and mod archive files (PAK files) and displaying all maps to select from. It can also be used to supply default variables (such as FOV values) and screen resolution when starting the game.

Simple Quake Launcher

A simple ZDoom Launcher-inspired front-end launcher for Quake, Quake II, Hexen II, and Half-Life that offers ease of use for launching each game and their source ports, auto-detects maps and demos in .pak and .pk3 formats, displays map titles, launching demos, and create desktop shortcuts using the currently selected options.

Remove opengl32.dll

The opengl32.dll file included in some releases of the game is a 3dfx-specific MiniGL wrapper. It should be deleted on systems not using 3dfx cards unless GLQuake is being wrapped with nGlide (included in the GOG.com release), as it's highly recommended to prevent issues on modern system or when using a source port.

Issues fixed

Restore music playback

Some digital distribution releases of the Quake either have not properly configured music playback in the game without the original discs in a CD drive or has no music at all.

DOS

The GOG.com version of Quake in Software Mode (via DOSBox) is already pre-configured to mount the game's disc images for the base game and its mission packs.

Use DOSBox to virtually mount the disc image^[13]

GOG.com and Steam

Due to legal reasons, the in-game music in .ogg format has excluded in the GOG.com version for GLQuake and WinQuake, but it can be restored.

The in-game music is missing for the digital version of the original Quake (unless you play the DOSBOX version on GOG), it is only included for the Kex Engine remaster.

Install Vanilla Restoration Patch^[13]

Download Vanilla Restoration Patch, then extract its contents to <path-to-game>.
Launch the game. Music playback should now be restored for GLQuake and WinQuake. To play the proper music tracks for Scourge of Armagon and Dissolution of Eternity, launch the mission packs using the -game <mission pack> +exec music.cfg command line arguments.

Notes:

The music files in Vanilla Restoration Patch are in .mp3 format. The music can also be ripped and converted to .ogg format from their respective disc images included in the GOG.com version by using CueToOgg, however, the music track numbers for Scourge of Armagon (track12-track19) and Dissolution of Eternity (track20-track27) must be renamed accordingly to work with the music.cfg files included with the Vanilla Restoration Patch. Alternatively, the game, gamea, gamed folders containing the music files for the main game and mission packs can also be moved into the id1, hipnotic, and rogue folders respectively for music playback support while playing the game using a source port.^[14]

Source ports

Download soundtrack files^[15]

Some source ports can only play music from the CD drive.

Downloading the soundtrack is not needed if the Kex Engine remaster is included with the original version as it uses .ogg files. In that case, just copy every music folder from Quake\rerelease\<game> to its corresponding folder (id1, hipnotic, and rogue).

Download the soundtrack files^{[Note 6]} for the main campaign and mission packs.
Place id1, hipnotic, and rogue folders in the installation folder.

Black screen with the DarkPlaces engine (GOG.com)

Remove opengl32.dll^[17]
Go to the installation folder. Delete or rename `opengl32.dll`.

GLQuake does not launch

The original OpenGL version of Quake may not run on some systems with Nvidia graphics cards.

Enable extension limit^{[citation needed]}
Download and run Nvidia Profile Inspector. Search and open the game profile. Set Extension limit to On. Run `Glquake.exe` with the `-no8bit` command line argument.

Fix extension limit issues^[18]
Edit `Glquake.exe` with a hex editor. Search for `GL_EXTENSIONS`. Select the `%s` in that line and replace these two letters with two spaces.

Current music track plays the next one before the loop (GOG.com)

This happens with the incorrect CUE sheet that was included. It happens only with the main game and the Dissolution of Eternity. Scourge of Armagon is not affected by this.

Use fixed game.cue sheets^{[citation needed]}
Download Fixed game.cue sheets for Quake The Offering. Unpack both of these files to the installation folder.

Music does not loop

Fix CD audio looping^[19]

Rip the game CD-ROM's music. .ogg and .mp3 formats should be fully supported.
Install patched _inmm.dll and open its main folder.
Go to <path-to-game> and drag the game executable on _inmmconf.exe.
Copy the newly created .exe back to the old position (backup and overwrite old one if needed).
Open _inmmconf.exe and set DirectShow player for default file type in the method tab.
Add your previously ripped audio tracks in the _inmm.ini tab.
Press the save button and provide it <path-to-game>.

Visual tweaks

A majority of these console commands only applies to GLQuake or applicable source ports. These commands can be either entered into the console or written into an autoexec.cfg file to be executed automatically upon launch.

Command	Notes
gl_texturemode (mode)	`gl_nearest` is nearest-neighbor filtering. `gl_nearest_mipmap_linear` is bilinear filtering and the default setting. `gl_linear_mipmap_linear` enables full trilinear texture filtering.
gl_flashblend 1	Enables dynamic lighting for light sources, such as explosions (similar to Quake and WinQuake). Setting this to `0` changes the lighting system to resemble the software renderer.
r_shadows 1	Enables shadows for characters and pick-ups.
r_novis 1	Allows the world to be pre-rendered instead of being rendered in real-time, but may cause adverse performance issues. Required to enable transparent liquid textures with `r_wateralpha`.
r_wateralpha (0.0 - 1.0)	Adjusts the decimal opacity of liquid textures for water, slime, and lava. `1` is opaque, whereas `0` means completely transparent.
r_mirroralpha (0.0 - 1.0)	Adjusts the decimal mirror reflectiveness of stained glass surfaces (as seen in the "Easy" starting hall). `1` disables reflections, whereas `0` means completely reflective.
d_subdiv16 0	Enables perspective-correct texture mapping. By default, perspective correction is performed only every 16 pixels, which results in warped textures when viewed at sharp angles.^[20]

Installing and playing custom maps

Installing a custom map^{[citation needed]}

In the <path-to-game>\Id1 folder, create a folder named maps.
Extract the map files (usually a BSP and a text file) from the compressed folder into the maps folder.

Notes

For maps requiring mods to function, create the maps folder inside the folder for the mod.

Running a custom map^{[citation needed]}
Use the `+map <name of the BSP file (excluding the extension)>` command line argument. Alternatively, the `-map <name of the BSP file (excluding the extension)>` command can be used in the in-game console (`~`). Ex: `+map jawbreak` / `-map jawbreak` runs the Jawbreaker map by Matt Sefton

Installing and using mods

Mods are accessed via an amendment system, where you tell the engine where to look first for game data, and then it falls back to the default subfolder (id1) for the base game. The subfolder root for the mod will either have a progs.dat file, or a .pak or .pk3 file.

Installing a mod^{[citation needed]}
Extract the mod from the compressed folder. If the mod does not come in a folder after extracting, create a new one and place all the mod files into it. Move the mod folder into `<path-to-game>`.

Running a mod^{[citation needed]}

Use the -game <folder containing the mod> command line argument.
- Ex: -game fortress runs Team Fortress

Notes

Most source ports provide bug fixes to the original Quake engine. Some of these fixes may break compatibility with certain mods, rendering them unplayable (unreachable items floating in the air, enemies falling out of the world, etc.).

Many modern mods for Quake require a source port to run, as they break the original engine limitations (larger maps, more enemies, more scripting commands, etc.).
Mod creators will state this requirement in the mod page or README file (if available).

Mods

Vanilla Quake Fixes

A project that aims to fix issues and errors leftover in the main game and its two mission packs while remaining faithful the game's original features. See here for details.

Authentic Model Improvements

A model replacement project that enhances the models of the main game and its two mission packs while remaining faithful to their original appearance. Can be downloaded here.

Texture packs

List and discussions of additional graphical upgrades can be found here.

Transparent water

Use Vispatch (Mac version available here) to patch vanilla data (some mods already include said patches to data). Use the command r_wateralpha with any value below 1.0 to enable the effects. Note some engines won't remember this value and will require it to be added to the autoexec.cfg.

Colored lighting

This page includes downloads for .lit files, which enable Quake II-style colored lighting in compatible source ports. Put the .lit files in the applicable game's maps folder.

Lighting effects

This Program generates .lit and .dlit files, which contain colored light information to enable most modified Quake engines to display the classic Quake levels with colored lighting (.lit) and allows the engine to use bumpmapped/glossmapped wall textures without turning on real-time world lighting (.dlit).

The program only runs on Windows, though the files it generates can be copied to other platforms.

Sound packs

A sound pack for April Fools can be found here, though it does little more than distort the audio.

Total conversions

SUPERQOT - See the Superhot article for details.
Team Fortress - Team Fortress was originally a mod for Quake.
X-Men: The Ravages of Apocalypse - A total conversion based on the X-Men animated TV series.

Small Mod compilation (SMC)

Adds an number of interesting changes to gameplay as well as small aesthetic ones, such as footstep sounds. See here for details.

Console commands

A complete list of console commands can be found on QuakeWiki. Note that not all of these may apply to all source ports.

Notes

↑ Although the console command to enable anti-aliasing is vid_fsaa #, the anti-aliasing applied is only MSAA. This is particularly noticeable when coupled with gl_texturemode "gl_nearest_mipmap_linear".^[9]
↑ The console command to enable 16x anisotropic filtering is gl_texture_anisotropy 16. Can be combined with gl_texturemode "gl_nearest_mipmap_linear".^[9]
↑ The console command to disable the FPS cap is host_maxfps 0.^[10]

+{{Source ports table/row| Quake | The original DOS version. Can be run in [[DOSBox]] for newer systems. Maximum supported resolution of 1280 x 1024. | DOS }}
-Further details can be found on [http://quake.wikia.com/wiki/Qtest Quake Wiki].
+{{Source ports table/row| VQuake | The first hardware accelerated version of Quake, released shortly before GLQuake. This MS-DOS port is specifically designed for the Vérité chipset by short-lived company Rendition, using their proprietary Speedy3D API. Uniquely for the time, this version offered edge anti-aliasing, adjustable from 0 to 7, covering various combinations of world, object and particle polygons. As there is no emulation of this hardware available, this port cannot be played on modern computers. | DOS }}
+{{Source ports table/row| GLQuake | url=https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/419-glquake/ | A hardware accelerated Windows port of Quake, rendered with OpenGL. Greatly improves the overall look, allows widescreen resolutions of up to 2560 x 1440 and higher FOV. Screen resolutions need to be specified as [[command line arguments]] before launch. This port also has a few regressions; it does not support overbright lighting<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.quaddicted.com/webarchive/www.quaddicted.com/software-vs-glquake/software-vs-glquake-overbright-lighting/|title=quaddicted.com|date=May 2023}}</ref> and has weaker colored lighting than software rendered Quake.

-====Quake====
+{{Source ports table/row| WinQuake | url=https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/420-winquake/ | Native 32-bit version of Quake designed to run under Windows 9x or NT 4.0. Takes advantage of DirectX but has no 3D acceleration. Closely resembles DOS Quake in appearance. Maximum supported resolution of 1280x1024. | Windows }}
-The original DOS version. Can only be run in MS-DOS (or DOSBox for newer systems). Fullscreen only.
+{{Source ports table/row| QuakeWorld | A multiplayer only version of Quake specifically designed to play over the Internet. A version using OpenGL rendering is also available (GLQuakeWorld). See [[#Quake_vs._QuakeWorld|Quake vs. QuakeWorld]] for specifics. | DOS, Windows }}
-====Quake (shareware)====
-This version is the official demo for the game (besides Qtest). Only the first episode ("Dimension of the Doomed") is available to play. All other features and episodes are locked until the full version is bought.
-The shareware can be downloaded from [http://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/410-quake-shareware/ PCGamingWiki].
-Also, the [http://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/411-quake-shareware-pak/ shareware PAK file] can be downloaded separately from the main release (to be used with source ports).
-====WinQuake====
-This version is optimized to run under Windows 95/98 as an independent exe file. Allows the game to appear in a window and screen resolutions can be selected in-game.
-The source port can be downloaded from [http://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/420-winquake/ PCGamingWiki].
-====GLQuake====
-{{ii}} This version will not run on computers with Nvidia graphics cards. See [[#Recommended engines|Recommended engines]] for a source port.
-A special version that was designed to run with 3D accelerators (now known as graphics cards), unlike Quake and WinQuake (all graphics rendering and game logic calculations were done by the CPU only). Rendered with OpenGL, it improves the overall look of Quake greatly (smoothed textures, transparent water, etc.) and allows widescreen resolutions. Screen resolutions need to be entered in via console commands before launch.
-The source port can be downloaded from [http://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/419-glquake/ PCGamingWiki].
-====QuakeWorld====
-A multiplayer only version of Quake specifically designed to play over the Internet. A version rendered using OpenGL is also available (GLQuakeWorld). See [[#Quake or QuakeWorld?|Quake or QuakeWorld?]] for specifics.
-====V Quake====
-The first hardware accelerated version of Quake, released shortly before GLQuake. VQuake is optimized to run with graphics cards using the Vérité chipset. Beyond being able to run better on a very specific set of graphics cards, it presents nothing special. It is impossible to play it on modern machines today. Avoid it.
-==Essential improvements==
-===Quick Setup Guide Video===
-This video guide explains the basics you will need in order to get Quake working with a modern engine. Later sections on this page go into deeper detail on each subject.
-[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3S1e4CQat4 Quake Setup Guide on YouTube]
-===Recommended engines===
-* [http://icculus.org/twilight/darkplaces/ DarkPlaces] - Though there are many engines for many needs out there, DarkPlaces is a common one for new players due to its support for modern Windows environments, Linux, and OS X along with modern graphical features such as realtime shadowmaps, bloom, and normalmapping. It also supports both the netQuake, and QuakeWorld networking protocols, as well as its own. It scales well on visual effects from the modern to the classic and sports a fast rendering for modern GPUs. It has some problems with mods that depend on the original Quake's bugs that the engine has fixed.
-* [http://mhquake.blogspot.com/ DirectQ] - DirectQ is a Direct3d oriented engine with a few tweaks to the menu but little to graphical improvements, it simply runs on DirectX instead of OpenGL. It mostly resembles the classic look, but performs excellently.
-* [https://github.com/fruitz-of-dojo/Quake/releases Fruitz of Dojo Quake] - A Cocoa port of the engine, it allows Quake and QuakeWorld to be played on modern Macs.
-* [http://www.fteqw.com/ FTEQuakeWorld] - FTEQuakeWorld is targeted at QuakeWorld players while adding support for other Quake engine games, it features enhanced visuals, voice chat support, and better modding capability for QuakeWorld servers.
-* [http://quakespasm.sourceforge.net/ QuakeSpasm] - QuakeSpasm is a descendant of [http://www.celephais.net/fitzquake/ FitzQuake] and like that engine, it focuses on fixing bugs and stability, lifting engine limits such as maximum items and geometry detail and restoring the missing functionality that the original software renderer had but the OpenGL renderer lacked. Unlike many other engines, QuakeSpasm does not alter the style of the original game and doesn't fix game-changing bugs that affects mods. It runs under Windows, OS X and Linux.
-* [http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1756923 Ultimate Quake Patch] -  Designed for the Steam version of Quake but is also compatible with retail versions by changing the install path of the mod. It includes Darkplaces along with the soundtrack. However, the source port included uses an outdated version and the Scourge of Armagon soundtrack is clipped.
-For starting out, go with whatever your engine of choice supports and then explore the other as you wish. This can be simplified by using DarkPlaces which will connect to either.
-===Installing and Using Mods===
-Mods are accessed via an amendment system, where you tell the engine where to look first for game data, and then it falls back to the default subfolder (id1) for the base game. The subfolder root for the mod will either have a progs.dat file, or a .pak or .pk3 file.
-{{Fixbox|1=
-{{Fixbox/fix|Installing a mod|}}
-# Extract the mod from the compressed folder.
-#* If the mod does not come in a folder after extracting, create a new one and place all the mod files into it.
-# Move the mod folder into <code>{{p|game}}</code>.
 }}
-{{Fixbox|1=
+====Quake vs. QuakeWorld====
-{{Fixbox/fix|Running a mod|}}
+When Quake initially launched its netcode was not optimized for the dial-up connections of the time, and so consequently QuakeWorld was created, a separate exe for the game which was multiplayer only with adjusted physics and severely revamped netcode. As personal internet connections improved, the original Quake protocol became more relevant. The original, non-QuakeWorld version, is now often referred to as NetQuake, and there is a divide as to which to play. Serious competitive players are very sensitive to the differences between them, however for the starting out player the differences will be barely noticeable, and the experienced but more casual players play whichever, simply going for servers where a fun time can be had.
-* Use the <code>-game <folder containing the mod></code> [[Glossary:Command line arguments|command line argument]].
-** Ex: <code>-game fortress</code> runs [[Team Fortress]]
-'''Notes'''
-{{ii}} Most source ports provide bug fixes to the original Quake engine. Some of these fixes may break compatibility with certain mods, rendering them unplayable (unreachable items floating in the air, enemies falling out of the world, etc.).
-{{ii}} Many modern mods for Quake require a source port to run, as they break the original engine limitations (larger maps, more enemies, more scripting commands, etc.).<br />Mod creators will state this requirement in the mod page or README file (if available).

+===Source ports===
-{{Fixbox/fix|Installing a custom map|}}
+Since the release of the Quake engine's source code, various engine overhauls and source ports have been created to enhance or modify the game in different ways. Which one to use is a matter of taste.
-# In the <code>Id1</code> folder (located in the main Quake directory), create a folder named <code>maps</code>.
+{{ii}} To install a source port, extract its contents into the same folder as the vanilla executable and run the modified engine's executable. This does not apply to the '''Ironwail''' source port since it will detect the game's files regardless of the executable's position.
-# Extract the map files (usually a BSP and a text file) from the compressed folder into the <code>maps</code> folder.
+{{ii}} '''QuakeSpasm''', '''QuakeSpasm Spiked''', or '''vkQuake''' are recommended for authenticity to the original game's features and maximum mod compatibility. '''Ironweil''' is recommended for a mix of authenticity and compatibility with quality of life improvements and optimizations for modern hardware. '''DarkPlaces''' is recommended for graphical enhancements. '''Quake "Epsilon"''' is an all-in-one modernized version.
+{{ii}} '''QuakeSpasm''', '''vkQuake''' and '''Ironwail''' have native support [[Quake (2021)|the Kex Engine remaster's]] game files.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://sourceforge.net/p/quakespasm/news/2021/09/quakespasm-0940/|title=quakespasm 0.94.0 - Sourceforge|date=2021-09-05}}</ref><ref>{{Refurl|url=https://github.com/Novum/vkQuake/releases/tag/1.11.0|title=Release vkQuake 1.11.0 Binaries - Github|date=2021-09-05}}</ref><ref>{{Refurl|url=https://github.com/andrei-drexler/ironwail#bonus-features|title=Bonus features - Ironwail - GitHub|date=2023-12-12}}</ref>

-===[[Glossary:Widescreen resolution|Widescreen resolution]]===
+==Input==
-By default Quake doesn't have any widescreen support and while it can use some widescreen resolutions, it will not adjust the FOV for them. The default is 90° horizontal FOV for 4:3, so for a 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio this must be increased to 106 or 100. Of course since many players like to play with an increased FOV even in 4:3, you may set it to 110, 115, etc. Some engines will provide automatic adjustment of the FOV so when you set the FOV to 90 (for example), the engine will adjust it to 106 (for 16:9).
+{{Input
-Changing the FOV is as simple as opening the console and typing ''fov '''n''''' where '''n''' is the new FOV. Keep in mind that extreme FOV values may have negative side effects on the game's display.
-Some engines will not save your screen settings, so you may want to modify the executable shortcut or launcher settings (see below) to specify the resolution you want. All Quake engines accept the ''-bpp'' and ''-width'' parameters for specifying the bits per pixel and horizontal resolution. Most engines also support the ''-height'' parameter for vertical resolution. If you want to set a console variable (such as ''fov''), you can put a + in front of it.

 ==Issues fixed==
-===Running the original GLQuake===
+===Restore music playback===
-Although this is not recommended, some people might wish to play using the original OpenGL version of Quake. On some machines this still works out of the box, but on some (Nvidia only) it simply won't due to the GPU extensions overflowing the engine's buffer when trying to print them into the console. If it doesn't run there are a few ways this can be achieved, though:
+{{ii}} Some digital distribution releases of the Quake either have not properly configured music playback in the game without the original discs in a CD drive or has no music at all.
-*Go into the control-panel of your Nvidia graphics card and look for an option to enable an "Extension Limit", this will prevent the buffer of the engine's console to overflow
-*Run the original glquake.exe with the commandline parameter ''-no8bit''
+====DOS====
-The last step is optional, some cards would display all textures blank without it, though.
+{{++}} The GOG.com version of Quake in Software Mode (via DOSBox) is already pre-configured to mount the game's disc images for the base game and its mission packs.
+{{Fixbox|description=Use DOSBox to [https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/MOUNT#Mounting_a_CUE.2FBIN-Pair_as_volume virtually mount the disc image]|ref=<ref name="Restoring music in the GOG and Steam versions"/>|fix=
+}}
+====GOG.com and Steam====
+{{ii}} Due to legal reasons, the in-game music in .ogg format has excluded in the GOG.com version for GLQuake and WinQuake, but it can be restored.
+{{--}} The in-game music is missing for the digital version of the original Quake (unless you play the DOSBOX version on GOG), it is only included for the Kex Engine remaster.

To play the proper music tracks for Scourge of Armagon and Dissolution of Eternity, launch the mission packs using the {{code|-game <mission pack> +exec music.cfg}} [[Glossary:Command line arguments|command line arguments]].
-This fix can also be applied to other games running using the GLQuake engine, as well as the pre-alpha version of John Romero's Daikatana which was released in 2004.
+'''Notes:'''
-A tutorial on how to fix these issues with Nvidia cards permanently and without recompiling the source code can be found [http://euksy.oldtimes-software.com/ext_limit_fix.html here].
+{{ii}} The music files in Vanilla Restoration Patch are in .mp3 format. The music can also be ripped and converted to .ogg format from their respective disc images included in the GOG.com version by using [https://www.gog.com/forum/quake_series/my_oneclick_audioextractor CueToOgg], however, the music track numbers for Scourge of Armagon ({{file|track12}}-{{file|track19}}) and Dissolution of Eternity ({{file|track20}}-{{file|track27}}) must be renamed accordingly to work with the {{file|music.cfg}} files included with the Vanilla Restoration Patch. Alternatively, the {{file|game}}, {{file|gamea}}, {{file|gamed}} folders containing the music files for the main game and mission packs can also be moved into the {{file|id1|folder}}, {{file|hipnotic|folder}}, and {{file|rogue|folder}} folders respectively for music playback support while playing the game using a source port.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Arx7QFo0I4|title=CUEtoOGG - GOG Quake Tutorial (v2) - YouTube|date=2021-08-24}}</ref>

 }}
-===Getting Started===
+===Installing and playing custom maps===
-Quake is primarily played with modified engines which make use of modern technology and operating systems. Installing them is as simple as extracting them into the same folder you can find WinQuake.exe and running the modified engine's exe. For multiplayer all you need is to pull down the console ({{key|~}}) and type <code>connect <server address or ip></code>.
+{{Fixbox|description=Installing a custom map|ref={{cn|date=July 2016}}|fix=
+# In the {{file|{{p|game}}\Id1|folder}} folder, create a folder named {{file|maps|folder}}.
+# Extract the map files (usually a BSP and a text file) from the compressed folder into the {{file|maps|folder}} folder.
-Many modern engines have a setting for mouse looking in their options menu, but if it doesn't exist you can enable it from the console by entering ''+mlook''. The plus sign in front of the ''mlook' is a modifier that means "enable". You can disable it later with ''-mlook''.
+'''Notes'''
+{{ii}} For maps requiring mods to function, create the <code>maps</code> folder inside the folder for the mod.
+}}
-From the options menu, you may also want to set ''Always Run'' to ''On'' and set ''Lookstrafe'' and ''Lookspring'' to ''Off''.
+{{Fixbox|description=Running a custom map|ref={{cn|date=July 2016}}|fix=
+* Use the <code>+map <name of the BSP file (excluding the extension)></code> [[Glossary:Command line arguments|command line argument]].
+* Alternatively, the <code>-map <name of the BSP file (excluding the extension)></code> command can be used in the in-game console ({{Key|~}}).
+** Ex: <code>+map jawbreak</code> / <code>-map jawbreak</code> runs the Jawbreaker map by Matt Sefton
+}}
-===Quake or QuakeWorld?===
+===Installing and using mods===
-When Quake initially launched its netcode was not optimized for the dial-up connections of the time, and so consequently QuakeWorld was created, a separate exe for the game which was multiplayer only with adjusted physics and severely revamped netcode. As personal internet connections improved, the original Quake protocol became more relevant. The original, non-QuakeWorld version, is now often revered to as NetQuake and there is a divide as to which to play. Serious competitive players are very sensitive to the differences between them, however for the starting out player the differences will be barely noticeable, and the experienced but more casual players play whichever, simply going for servers where a fun time can be had.
+Mods are accessed via an amendment system, where you tell the engine where to look first for game data, and then it falls back to the default subfolder (id1) for the base game. The subfolder root for the mod will either have a progs.dat file, or a .pak or .pk3 file.
+{{Fixbox|description=Installing a mod|ref={{cn|date=July 2016}}|fix=
+# Extract the mod from the compressed folder.
+#* If the mod does not come in a folder after extracting, create a new one and place all the mod files into it.
+# Move the mod folder into {{file|{{p|game}}|folder}}.
+}}
+{{Fixbox|description=Running a mod|ref={{cn|date=July 2016}}|fix=
+* Use the <code>-game <folder containing the mod></code> [[Glossary:Command line arguments|command line argument]].
+** Ex: <code>-game fortress</code> runs [[Team Fortress]]
+'''Notes'''
+{{ii}} Most source ports provide bug fixes to the original Quake engine. Some of these fixes may break compatibility with certain mods, rendering them unplayable (unreachable items floating in the air, enemies falling out of the world, etc.).
+{{ii}} Many modern mods for Quake require a source port to run, as they break the original engine limitations (larger maps, more enemies, more scripting commands, etc.).<br />Mod creators will state this requirement in the mod page or README file (if available).

+A project that aims to fix issues and errors leftover in the main game and its two mission packs while remaining faithful the game's original features. See [https://quakeone.com/forum/quake-mod-releases/finished-works/283201-vanilla-quake-fixes here] for details.

+====Transparent water====
+Use [http://vispatch.sourceforge.net Vispatch] ([[Mac]] version available [https://github.com/fruitz-of-dojo/Quake-vispatch/releases here]) to patch vanilla data (some mods already include said patches to data). Use the command {{code|r_wateralpha}} with any value below 1.0 to enable the effects. Note some engines won't remember this value and will require it to be added to the ''autoexec.cfg''.
+====Colored lighting====
+[https://quakewiki.org/wiki/External_Lit_And_Vis_Files This page] includes downloads for {{file|.lit}} files, which enable Quake II-style colored lighting in compatible source ports. Put the {{file|.lit}} files in the applicable game's {{file|maps|folder}} folder.
+====Lighting effects====
+[http://www.quaketastic.com/upload/files/misc/ID1_LIT_Pack_14th_May_2009.zip This Program] generates {{file|.lit}} and .dlit files, which contain colored light information to enable most modified Quake engines to display the classic Quake levels with colored lighting ({{file|.lit}}) and allows the engine to use bumpmapped/glossmapped wall textures without turning on real-time world lighting (.dlit).
+{{--}} The program only runs on Windows, though the files it generates can be copied to other platforms.
-It can be downloaded from the [http://superhotgame.com/SUPERQOT/ official site].
+====Sound packs====
+{{ii}} A sound pack for April Fools can be found [http://www.quakeworld.nu/forum/topic/5719/67764/quake-hd-ultra-quality-sound-pack/ here], though it does little more than distort the audio.
