NecroBoi's Configuration v1.7 for QUAKE v1.01 Qcfg17.zip ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This version is intended for a 3 button mouse (you do have one, don't you?). My personal recommendation is the TrackMan Marble - very cool. Qcfg17.zip contents: autoexec.cfg, necro17.cfg, readme.txt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - setup info Print out this Readme.txt. It would be wise to delete your existing config.cfg file and backup your autoexec.cfg, if you have one, before continuing. Unzip QCFG17.ZIP into C:\quake_sw\id1\. On the command line or in a batch file you would type: quake.exe +exec necro17.cfg -nojoy Once the game has started press F12 to bypass the menu screen to go directly to the Introduction Level. Now, set your gamma correction by using F11. To setup your 'Quick Rocket' button, press INS to receive all weapons; select a weapon with the number keys; then fire a single rocket with Mouse button 3. Press F4 to bring up the Options Menu. Make sure Autorun and Lookspring are ON. Press F12 again. You are now ready to inflict pain upon others :). Please read the 'special keys' section for more info on other key functions. * If you select 'Reset to Defaults' (why would you want to do that?) in the Options Menu, do not try to re-initialize autoexec.cfg or necro16.cfg from the console. You will cause Quake to crash. Quit the game, instead, and restart with the proper parameters. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - movement keys w - forward s - back a - move left (strafe) d - move right (strafe) f - move up v - move down - mouse controls mouse forward - move forward mouse backward - move backward mouse move left -turn left mouse move right - turn right button 1 - fire weapon button 2 - freelook - hold down and move mouse to look around button 3 - quick rocket button 2 - impulse 10 (weapon cycle) * when Freelook mode is engaged * For a 2 button mouse you would simply have to remap MOUSE3 to a suitable key on the keyboard. I would put Quick Rocket on (f) and Moveup/MoveDown to (g) and (b) respectively. You can now use (v) for Centerview should you desire. * note - Mouse sensitivity has been set to a default of 5.00. If you prefer a different setting you will have to alter the sensitivity of the Full Zoom and Sniper Zoom modes as well ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - other keys , - vid_mode 0 (320 x 200) . - vid_mode 12 (640 x 480) 0 - quad damage z - weapon forward cycle CTRL - fly mode SHIFT - jump INS - impulse 9 (all weapons, keys and ammo) DEL - god mode PGDN - xray mode PGUP - no clipping mode HOME - brings up the Menu or restarts level if used with F12 END - notarget (invisibility to enemies - provided you don't shoot) F7 - plays the next demo in the cycle - quits current game F11 - gamma correction F12 - loads the Introduction Level ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ! special keys - Float mode (b) allows you to maintain buoyancy in water; handy in emergency situations where a quick swim to the surface is needed note - Jump (SHIFT) is disabled when Float is activated and also, Moveup and Movedown will have no effect - Circle Strafing keys (q and e); use these keys in conjunction with Forward (w); some experimenting is required to use these keys successfully; these keys are redundant under bad lag conditions in multiplayer games on the net - added unsupported Crosshair (i) or (ALT) - Freelook mode toggle key (c) or (l); remaps default mouse button 2 (+mlook) to IMPULSE 10 (weapon cycle) note - You cannot set Crosshair in conjunction with this mode on. Set Crosshair first before activating Freelook. Lookspring is set as a default in non-Freelook mode. Centerview will not work with Freelook so this function is not included in this configuration. - sniper (SPACE) and full zoom (x) hotkey modes with a toggling Crosshair; target centering has been incorporated into all zooms - but will not function in network games note - The fact that your weapon aims off to the lower right of center is an error (deliberate?) in programming on id's part. I have tried to compensate by changing the front/back and left/right viewpoint offsets. The side effect is your weapon swinging to the left on zoom modes. This is still visually appealing, in my opinion, so I left it in. BTW - will not function in network games. - regular full zoom ([ and ]) and an incremental zoom (o and p) - Quick Rocket button (MOUSE3); this will fire 1 rocket and return to your previous weapon note - will not work with IMPULSE 10 (weapon cycle) selections; the rocket will default back to your last keyboard weapon selection - single grenade to double shotgun (r) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - tips on usage I generally use Freelook mode as my default setup. I switch to Freelook OFF when certain situations require a bit more precision in execution, such as jumping and moving onto narrow structures. Please try out this script without modifications. I consider the Lookspring mode more of a trainer and I suggest using it if you are new to keyboard/mouse.I have tried to maintain the most logical setup for all the features I have put into it. If you have a better setup solution or improvement, pass it on to me. I am always open to new ideas. I decided to omit miscelaneous scripting for pract- ical reasons and have made this a purpose built configuration ... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * Copyright / Permissions * You MAY distribute this Quake 1.01 script, provided you include this file, with no modifications.
