Dont need email, Mr Kevinblue3.

Have you installed quake?
Have you added and advanced engine like darkplaces?

Steps:

1. Install quake. You will need the registered version to run mods - I'll leave that up to you.

Lets now say you have a quake installed on an arbitrary drive e:
(Your drive and folder path can differ - this is just for my instructions...)

e:\Quake

2. Download the file tf28.zip

You dont have to get it, but I'd recommend darkplaces -

2b. Download darkplacesengine20130304.zip

Here: Icculus.org

3. Unzip tf28.zip and darkplaces (if you get it) in the e:\Quake directory

You should now have:

e:\Quake\FORTRESS

And darkplaces.exe if you got that. Darkplaces also comes with dll's and linux files. You can safely delete any darkplaces file with 'linux' in the name. Wont need those on windows.

4. Run quake with team fortress

a. from the command line - launch a shell (dos box) and

e:
cd Quake
quake -game FORTRESS
darkplaces -game FORTRESS

b. make a shortcut from quake.exe or darkplaces.exe

click properties for the shortcut and add "-game FORTRESS" to the launch command parameters. This is a windows thing you will have to figure out.

Notes:

I'm pretty sure quake.exe is not going to run on anything but win95 or win98.
Thus my recommendation of darkplaces.
You could also try winquake, but I think you'll like darkplaces better.

Team fortress is a deathmatch mod. You will either have to run your own listen or dedicated server and invite other players or search for servers online. I'm very much doubting that TF is configured for use with singleplayer. This also I leave up to you.

I tested the tf28 install on my system and it works. Though I use linux.

Good luck!
