- -==Intro==-
- O.K. so everybody knows how to play quake over the internet. If this is the case,
- why do people still mail me asking how it is done. So here is a help file just in
- case you are completely lost.
-
- -==What YouÆll Need==-
-
- Windows 95
- 28.8 PPP connection to a good server.
- QUAKE (Full or Shareware)
-
- -==What To Do==-
-
- 1) Connect to your server, using æDial Up NetworkingÆ. Make sure that
- you have your PPP connection set up through æDial-Up NetworkingÆ.
- 2) Click on the æStartÆ button, and bring up the ærunÆ box.
- 3) Type "drive letter:\quake dir\q95.bat" where "drive letter" is the
- letter of the hard disk you installed it too and "quake dir" is the
- directory where you have installed quake.
- 4) This will start quake. In the quake menu screen, go to the 'multiplayer'
- then press enter.
- 5) At this stage you can go to the 'setup' screen and chose a name and cloth
- colours. (But remember if you are using version 1.01 and you have a space
- in the name you will appear as "unconnected' when you start the game).
- Accept changes and you will be back in the 'multiplayer' menu.
- 6) Then go to 'Join a game' then to 'TCP/IP'.
- 7) This is the last step before you game begin. Here you have to type either
- the 'IP' address (eg. 203.10.110.179) or the name of the server
- (eg. quake.netspace.net.au).
-
- ---===Happy Fragging===---
-
- -==Other Stuff==-
- a) If you find that you donÆt get to the top of the "frag" list straight away,
- donÆt despair practise makes perfect.
- b) There is a excellent program called "Qspy" that will find you a fast server,
- * use it it will save you time *. It can be found at
- "http://www.panix.com/~sheaslip/qspy/".
- c) If it doesn't work, try exiting the game and repeating all the steps. If it
- doesn't work after that, well sh*t by a new computer.
