This patch essentially adds a more in-depth menu system for launching Quake in DOSBox. With this patch, you're able to launch a handful mods, play online with other DOSBox players via IPX emulation, and play offline multiplayer with bots.
What's New
7/15/2020 - v1.10
- Updated included DOSBox version to latest vanilla SVN build (has shader support and fixes Quake's speed issue)
- Now available as an installer for easy installation
Note:
1. This version ONLY works with GOG's Quake: The Offering installation. I have a separate version available for Steam, look on my files page for details.
2. This WILL OVERWRITE any pre-existing autoexecs you have in any of your directories.
What's Included
- An SVN build of DOSBox better suited for running DOS Quake with an updated .conf file to have it firing on all cylinders
- Fixed music cue sheets for Quake and Mission Pack 2: Dissolution of Eternity
- Autoexecs for each game that enable mouselook and disable autoaim
- Impel Development Team's Abyss of Pandemonium v1.10 with CD music
- ThreeWave Capture The Flag v4.0
- CTFBOT+ for 3Wave CTF
- FrikBot X
- Team Fortress v2.8
Installation
1. Follow the steps in the installer and install it where and how you like.
2. Open the start menu and search for the shortcut called "Quake (Software Mode)".
2. Enjoy :)
Frikbot Setup
In order to spawn in frikbots for an offline multiplayer game, you will need to consult the bots.cfg in the frikbot folder and bind a key to each of the appropriate impulses.
CTFBot+ Setup
In the ctfbotp folder is an executable called "ctf_bot_coordinator.exe" click on it and configure it how you see fit.
Thank you so much for this! There are so many great ways to play Quake but the atmosphere of the DOS version keeps me coming back. This patch has made it a breeze to jump into with all the tweaks you've added. You rock!
