Quake

[Kawazu]

Where can i get Quake? I bought it on steam and treid to transfer it to my amiga. But it sems to be a file missing, pak0.pak it was caled i think. Dont know why im missing this. I can run the game fine on my PC.

[Kawazu]

The Quake data files such as pak0.pak are located in the ID1/ folder in your Quake installation. This folder is what you need to copy to your Amiga to use with the source ports.
If it is installed via Steam it is probably located in the steam\your@account\common\quake\ folder or some location close to that.

Have tried to find it but i cant, have even used the "search" function and still cant find it

[Kawazu]

Ok, I can try to install my Steam copy of Quake and find the files for you later (I'll try to remember it). I am in the middle of an exam period and shouldn't even be posting on forums, so not right now though
(If you are the same Kawazu as the one on Safir, you can PM me there or here if I forget)

I am and i will, thank you.

Got it up and running now.

Using QuakePPC and atm in 320x200 i have 44.6fps
32fps in the starting place

I can only runt the game in 8bit, everything else gives me a very twisted picture and wierd colors.

[Kawazu]

can you type timedemo demo1 in the console? that gives a better reading than a timerefresh.

Will try that out when i get home ( in about 3 hours)

[Kawazu]

29.1 fps in the timedemo

Have treid to get GlQuake to work but no luck yet, it complains about pak2.pak-pak9.pak if you creat random files with those names you just get an error: out of handle. Snoopdos gives no errors or fails what so ever.

If I remove the fastram off the mobo on my a4000t, would that speed things up? I was reading it in a FAQ for Quake, I know the fast ram on the mobo is slower, but would it affect things that much?

The system always use the fastest ram first so it would probably do nothing if you removed them.

It was my old card



Well, if someone wants to try I can send over the executable!

One more try: does anyone have the first illegal Quake port that started this whole Quake thing on Amiga? it was called coolQuake I think.

I can try it out.
Just upload the files to a filehosting site or somthing like that and PM me the link.

Any one else having problem with GLQuake? I just get a black screen when i try to start it. Have tried every GL quake version there is on aminet and still the same problem.

The Gears demo you get in the warp3d package works great and runs very smooth but i cant get GLQuake to run, the "normal" PPC quake runs fine but not GLQuake.

I just purchased a super computer to play DOS games for 10 u$
and I tested quake and other games
specs:

pentium 200 mmx /48mb ram /4gb hardisk
gfx card: cirrus logic 1mb (PCI)
sound card: AA1812

ok I have tested quake on this computer.. (time demo demo 1 )
and the results

26 fps on 300x200
24 fps on 300x240


I wonder how fast quake is on a PPC 200 or 175 or 240 on a plain amiga gfx card or AGA (no GL ports)
if anyone can post authentic results to compare....cause theorically a pentium 200 is like a ppc 200
thanks
