- PLAYING A QUAKE GAME:

- Steps:
-
- 1. Run CONNECT.BAT
- 2. When you get to the PPPMENU main menu:
-
- - Select CONNECT
- - It should switch you to a terminal mode once connected, log
- into your isp using your username and password.

-
- 3. Now you should get back to another menu, select the last option: EXIT
- and answer YES.

- 4. Now go run QUAKE
-
- 5. Once in QUAKE, select MUTLIPLAYER GAME, and then select
- JOIN A RUNNING NETWORK GAME and enter a server address.
-
- 6. FRAG ON!
-
-
-
- APPLICATIONS
- ------------
-
- There are dos-based TCPIP applications packaged with QuakePPP. The
- included applications are:
-
- ftp.exe - For downloading files
- finger.exe - For fingering sites for info
- ping.exe - To find out the speed between you and a server
-
- IRC:
-
- You can connect to IRC through dos, connect to #quake and get the
- latest running quake servers or the latest info. To run irc through
- dos go the the IRC subdirectory under wherever you installed
- QuakePPP and run irc.exe. Read the irc.doc for more info.
-
-
-
- GETTING A LIST OF QUAKE SERVERS
- -------------------------------
-
- Through quakeppp, you can run finger.exe with the address of
- servers@nuqneh.org and it will return active servers. Another good
- idea is to run irc and join the #quake channel and inquire there as
- to active servers.
-
- You can also get a list of currently active quake servers through
- netscape at http://www.webnetdesign.com !
-
-
-
- NOTE TO SERVERS - HOW TO RUN A FAST SERVER
- ------------------------------------------
-
- Dedicate your server. Be on a T1. And use the following parameters:
-
- +SYS_TICRATE 0.1
-
- This is very important, you can use a parameter anywhere between 0.1
- and 0.5. For example, 0.1 sends 10 packets per second, 0.2 sends 5,
- 0.5 sends 2, etc. 0.1 is a good value. This will speed up
- performance for everyone. All dedicated servers should use this
- parameter.
-
-
- PROBLEMS? SUPPORT? IS THIS SHIT PIRATED?
- ----------------------------------------
-
- I am not providing support for this. However you can try emailing
- winter@tpf.com and maybe I'll respond.
-
- I downloaded all of the included drivers off of public sites, the
- kloss drivers are shareware, if you use quakeppp alot register them!
- Why not? I downloaded the B&W drivers off of B&W's public FTP site,
- therefore I assume they are PD, I downloaded the kloss drivers out
- of some other public distrubution, and some of the other .exes
- included in quakeppp.zip are little things I wrote that tie the
- sucker together and make it all work. But what do I know? Any of
- this COULD be non-public domain. In that case, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE,
- don't even ask. I didn't make this stuff public, I ain't even
- distributing it. All I did was write this text file and a few of the
- exe's in here. You use it at your own risk, you distribute it at
- your own risk. Enjoy.

- and that'll make my day.
