Quake "Epsilon" Build

Quake mod |

In 2011 I started browsing the latest graphical/sound quake mods, putting together a pretty build using LordHavoc's darkplaces, rygel's ultra textures packs, the reforged packs and a variety of mods, to play quake original. Anyone can do the same, however the hassle comes when you have to browse the quakeone forums, stumbling to find the posts which detail what cvars and what configs/files you have to overwrite etc in order to get each mod to work. I literally spent as much time getting the mods working as playing the game. So I put together a nice-looking build of quake original and it's expansions called epsilon for everybody to get into, without getting into the hassle of config files and searching to find every available mod then getting them to work! The main quake build also includes the original shareware first quarter of the quake game - it is easily upgraded to the full game by dropping in the pak0.pak and pak1.pak files from the full game's id1 directory (more details below).

If you've had a darkplaces/epsilon installation at any point prior to v2.5 and you're experiencing visual problems such as missing textures on weapons or low-quality textures on walls/floors etc, delete the following folder: Windows XP: My Documents\My Games\darkplaces Windows Vista/7/8: C:\Users\"USER NAME"\Saved Games\darkplaces (where "USER NAME" is your windows login name) Linux: ~/.darkplaces OSX: ~/Library/Application Support/darkplaces This should fix it but will also delete savegames.

If you've had a darkplaces/epsilon installation at any point prior to v2.5, and you're experiencing any visual problems such as missing textures on weapons or low-quality textures on walls/floors etc, delete the following folder:

Windows XP: My Documents\My Games\darkplaces
Windows Vista/7/8: C:\Users\"USER NAME"\Saved Games\darkplaces (where "USER NAME" is your windows login name)
Linux: ~/.darkplaces
OSX: ~/Library/Application Support/darkplaces

This should fix it but will also delete savegames. For some users, just deleting the config.cfg file within the subfolders of this folder seems to be enough.
On Debian/Lubuntu this doesn't work, there is a issue with those distros and darkplaces.

You may have to re-adjust your screen resolution/FOV/etc settings after you've done this, to match what you had prior to v2.5.

Working on a more permanent fix for it.
