Features

Fodquake
  • Server browser - to easily find a match or a player. Sorting by gametype, columns. Friends tab to keeping your mates there. Customizable colours. Join, observe, search, watch EzTV streams via QTV proxy.
  • QW networking independent from rendering.
  • Flat rendering of maps, in both OpenGL and software rendering, with the user being able to either choose distinct colours for walls, floors/ceilings and slopes, or choosing to colour each surface on the entire map according to their wish.
  • EQL ruleset.
  • Command line arguments are no longer needed. Every option can be set by regular Quake cvars. Command line options are converted into their respective cvars for legacy reasons.
  • Sound system parameters can be changed while Quake is running and sound can be completely turned on/off as well without a restart.
  • Video mode selection menu.
  • Linux USB mouse poll rate settings are checked and a warning is given if found to be lower than 500Hz.
  • Table layout code with optimal layout and entry sorting. Tab completion of commands and variables and other things presenting the output in a grid will use the new table layout code.
  • Optimised dynamic lightmap rendering.
  • Clipboard support for X11.
  • FTE-compatible support for compression of network data.
  • Support for FTE chunked downloads. Downloads can be much faster on compatible servers.
  • No longer lets broken mods (hint: they start with the letters 'kt') change the rate cvar. If the server asks for the cvar to be changed, only the userinfo will be changed, and the value will be restored when disconneting from the server.

FAQ

Q: Why do I get "Error: W_LoadWadFile: couldn't load gfx.wad" when trying to run Fodquake?
A: Fodquake data files aren't ready yet. To play QuakeWorld you need to copy pak0.pak and pak1.pak from your Quake(World) game to:

  • Fodquake/id1/ directory on AROS and MorphOS.
  • ~/.fodquake/id1 directory on FreeBSD and Linux.
  • ~/Library/Application\ Support/Fodquake/id1/ directory on Mac OS X.
  • My Documents/Fodquake/id1 directory on Windows.

Q: Why do I get "Error: Mod_ForName: NULL name" when trying to load a map using map command?
A: Fodquake doesn't support local games yet.


Q: How do I save a default configuration?
A: Go to options and use "Save configuration" or type cfg_save default.cfg to save it as a default configuration.


Q: How do I load a configuration?
A: Type cfg_load yourconfig.cfg.


Q: Where do I put a myconfig.cfg?
A: Copy your myconfig.cfg to PathDependsOnYourSystem/Fodquake/fodquake/configs/ directory.


Q: How to start commands automatically at startup?
A: You can put commands you want to autostart in PathDependsOnYourSystem/Fodquake/fodquake/autoexec.cfg.


Q: When I take quad the screen goes blue and when i have pent it goes red. What's the command to prevent the screen from changing color?
A: v_pentcshift 0; v_quadcshift 0. You can also use values like 0.5 which will give you slightly less color change.


Q: When I'm in water screen goes brown. What's the command to prevent the screen from changing color?
A: v_contentblend 0. You can also use values like 0.5 which will give you slightly less color change.


Q: When Fodquake runs in a windowed mode mouse cursor moves all over the desktop, how to limit a mouse to Fodquake window?
A: in_grab_windowed_mouse 1.


Q: I don't see other players' coloured chat on Mvdsv/KTX servers, why?
A: Mvdsv/KTX strips colour information from chat for all clients that are not Ezquake. If you wish to see coloured chat on such servers, you must set the cl_imitate_client cvar to "ezquake-1.8.2".


Q: How Fodquake was born?
A: I'm in France, without all my usual gear, without MorphOS. I have an amd64 machine running Linux and I need my Quake fix. I grabbed my Fuhquake/MorphOS sources, fixed up the Linux build and found out that it didn't really work on 64 bit systems. So I spent some time debugging it and making it work on 64 bit systems. That was how Fodquake was born.
