Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Some things in this game are different from what I see in the
movies!
A. Alien Quake takes place fifty years after the second movie, so things
have changed on the planet, obviously. It is a new colony, so although
some buildings may have similar designs, there are notable differences.
Other things, such as weapon strengths, etc have been altered to improve
gameplay. When designing Alien Quake, we almost always chose gameplay
over movie specs.

Q. Will there be more episodes?
A. Yes!

Q. I thought that the Nostromo was to be the first level!
A. That was the original plan, but it didn't make sense as far as the
episode went, so it was later designated the secret level.

Q. Can the Aliens climb walls?
A. At this time they cannot climb walls, but this may change in a later
release.

Q. How were the textures for the monsters, weapons and levels created?
A. Many of the new textures were created directly from the movies. In fact
the textures for most of the aliens were created from the picture of the
alien sticking it's head through the transport's door just before it got
it's head blown off! A lot of blending and pasting was involved.

Q. How did you guys team up for this project?
A. Basically through a common love of the Alien series, and the creative
desire to modify Quake, the most awesome game ever created! There have
been many members since the beginning, but only three have stuck through
to the bloody end!

Q. Are you guys gonna team up for other episodes or projects?
A. At this time the prognosis is pretty good for at least one more episode,
maybe two, and possible some other projects.

At the time it came out it was top of the line and it was great. Many newer mods have come out since then that look better.

not sure if you understood me, my complaint was with what the ray tracing was doing to the mod...

I have done much work on this mod myself so Im aware of it's limitations, hence my model updates ;)

I would seriously doubt you'll see anymore for this again. the mod's as old as the hills and I certainly have nothing else in store for it on my end so... yeah I'd say its done.

how to load this?

first you need quake1 installed with an appropriate sourceport (preferably quakespasm, you could use darkplaces but it'll make the game impossibly darker than it already is.)
then make a new folder in the quake main directory called 'alien'

copy everything in the 'alien quake' folder in the zip into your new 'alien' folder.

load quakespasm

bring down the console and type; game alien

then get on it!

oh yeah, will mention now, to fire a lightling flare bind a key (f maybe?) to impulse 20. (type bind f "impulse 20" in the console")
this will fire off a flare at the cost of one cell-ammo whenever you press the f key. you WILL need this believe me...

cool, you using my weapon skin pack too ;) ?

as for alien extermination' map, use the grenade launcher on the pulse rifle. (weapon select 5) its the best way to waste 'em!
just remember you need to re-select grenade mode (press 5 again) after each shot as it will go back to rifle mode...

nah the exit is about down there. sling a load of nades down the shaft to obliterate the xenos.
jump down and pulserifle any stragelers. now, go towards the bit that looks like a door sticking up out of the water.
its actually an open vent cover. one side of it has a tunnel opening just under the water surface.
you navigate through underwater to the exit.

oh, just fyi Ive re-uploaded my add-on patch again to include a new pistol and the missing flamer world-model skin. you might enjoy...
