How many of you still play the game? What are your config tricks and fave maps?

Here's my config:
These are the basics, altough some of these were added as an aux in case my mouse died - so all binds that I use with mouse have been additionally binded onto numpad. F8-F12 binds are for use with Omicron bots (which I sometimes use to play against), the snap180 and yellowdm1 are special aliases which will be explained later.

Basics again. Altered to have default 800x600 resolution. Me and my friends normally play with waterwarp turned off.

These two aliases came from a friend of mine who was playing Q1 for some time longer. My config was initally roughly based on his. It's good to have a bound rocketjump.

This bind came from one of the Quake configuration FAQ's. The first cl_yawspeed must be adjusted individually for each system, however, since it seems to depend on CPU cycles heavily. The result is an immediate 180 degree turn.
This is very useful on DM1 "The place of two deaths" where you are near the button that opens the bridge to the yellow armor. If timed right (must be executed as far to the right side of the corridor as possible, it will make an automatic jump from the button spot to the armor. Needs snap180 to be configured right, and might need extra adjustments on other machines.

A leftover from my friend's config. Don't care too much about these two aliases.

Autofire is my own devious alias script. All it does is shooting the gun repeatedly, and it stops as soon as you either press autofire or any other attack key. Useful for heated combat, since you have only to target and avoid enemy attacks.

Snagged from a FAQ, again. I have added the last line so that the sniper mode can be immediately disabled.

Another piece from a FAQ. I don't find it too useful, tho.

Cycling guns back and forth. I'll probably change it so that axe will not be in the cycle and replace the axe button with a bind for a single axe attack.

Useful when playing DM on single-player maps.

Mose common use here is debugging - it allows to reload the config file without restarting the game. And yes, my config dile is called "multi.cfg".

This is a little dirty trick up my sleeve that might be useful to distract an enemy player in pursuit. My colours flash blue and red several times in quick succession, something that doesn't help enemy's concentration. The problem is, for approximately the two seconds while when the script is running, I cannot shoot or jump nor change movement. All I can do in that brief is turning, unless I was moving when the script was enabled - then I keep moving in the same direction.

A few quick color-shift aliases.

A series of commands whose sole purpose is controlling an audio CD in the CD-rom drive.

As for the maps, I like three mostly: Place of two deaths, Bad place and Dark Zone. I know them by heart now.

I haven't played or even seen Quake I since the mid 90s. I don't even have a copy any more :angry:

Do you play it SP or online?

LAN multi. Don't know if there are any servers remaining for the game on the net.

I never bought Quake I, however me and my brother did see it while on holiday once, when we came back home we rushed to the store and bought... Quake II (we weren't really up to date with computer games back then, but they were good times indeed!)

Played it much back in 95-96 i think, but im more of a strategy/rpg person now.

I didn't play Q I until recently. I got a copy from friend. Game modernized for Windows, so I liked it very much. Even now, after so many years, you can enjoy playing in such games, despite of the graphics! Not so long ago (couple of months) I completed Betrayal at Krondor and also enjoyed it very much. As I remember, it was the best RPG in one year (1991 or about that). If it is true, I completely agree.

I still play it and since I got GLquake to run with my DirectX it's even better then before!!!!

Aye, whoever invented Winquake is a genius. :ok:

man you have some configs :ok: when i saw them i thought you were a counter-strike player... :sneaky:

I remember being impressed with the physics of the grenade launcher. At the time it was probably the most advanced weapon in a computer game in the world.
