Quake I on modern hardware

Post by **obsidian** » Mon Apr 09, 2007 4:00 pm

So I decided to install Quake on my computer again for a little nostalgia, and was wondering if there has been any new mods or executables that have been updated to make Q1 running on modern hardware look a little better.

I'm not looking at gameplay changes, just quality improvements.

I see a few links in the sticky, but I'm not sure which ones are still active (a few dead links and others look like they haven't been maintained).

Check this thread. I believe eQuake is just as good at singleplayer as it is on multiplayer

FuhQuake is pretty nice as well.

DARKPLACES DAMMIT. Looks (totally optionally) great, has proquake features, coder isn't a damn emo and also can connect to Quakeworld, so why not

Also, eQuake is warez.

Can you use the textures and weapon models in the ezQuake thread with Dark Places?

I'd have to agree though, DP is a good mod to suit the atmosphere of Quake 1 imo

Why use ezQuake's when you can use better?

I just started a topic about this in General Discussion and doubt that anyone is going to care less in there anyways...should have looked in here first but...

I just downloaded the Q1 Demo a couple days back, since the only time I played/beat the game was back when I had a Sega Saturn in whatever year that was. I wanted to mess around with it on my pc, so I installed it and it doesn't work.. I'm on a Hewlitt Packard 3500+ AMD Athlon/ Windows XP/ATI Radeon and blar blah, so I did a search, and a site told me to update the quake.exe to 1.08. So I did that and still nothin. If anyone knows if it's possible to run it or if it doesn't run on newer computers, I'd highly appreciate it.

Try googling glquake. You do know getting a 16 bit prog to run on a 32 bit os is next to impossible. In xp they use emulation which is not even guaranteed to work with a lot of 16 bit progs. thats why you use a 32 bit excuteable like glquake or winquake or some of the third party versions mentioned above.
