Quake 1 - Source of Armagon

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.quake (More info?)

Hi,

Using Windows XP.

1) I have no problems installing Quake and if so WinQuake runs fine on it
but regular Quake faults

2) If I install "Dissolution of Eternity" (Mission Pack 2), there is a lot
of complaints by the installer (I imagine the installation did not
anticipate hard disks bigger than 2Gb) but eventually it does install and is
playable with WinQuake.

3) If I try to install "Source of Armagon" (Mission Pack 1), it fails to
install. The installer faults. Playing around with WindowsXP compatibilty
settings allows me to get further but it still faults.

But I reckon I can install the files manually. Doees anyone know what is the
bare minimum set of files to copy over to get a functioning system? Any I
need to setup (like configs)? Is this info available on the net somewhere?

Thanks

SH

The files for Mission pack 1 are installed in subdirectory "hipnotic".
Mission pack 2, as you can tell, appears in "rogue". Don't use the
installers - they change around the version of Quake.exe causing problems.

Once you installed the files manually, you need a command line parameter to
get them started. You can either use the batch files installed with the
program, or launch the game manually.

Launching Mission Pack 1: "quake -hipnotic"
Launching Mission Pack 2: "quake -rogue"

Be sure to substitute "quake" with whatever version of Quake you are
running (e.g. WinQuake, GlQuake, etc.)

Ok that works. I have

PAK0.PAK

in hipnotic subdirectory and similar in rogue
