QTeam 2.0 by Quake Innovations Email : Gary Griggs, qteam@stomped.com Website : http://qteam.stomped.com I. Overview Congratulations on your decision to play QTeam 2.0! QTeam is the most advanced and exciting teamplay addon available for Quake. Developed by the people who brought you the original Capture the Flag game for Quake, it's now rich with new games such as Capture the Shambler, Paintball, King of the Hill, and Advanced Capture the Flag, and QFragFest! Included are custom maps for each of the games. There's also a separate package for map designers that allows creating new maps to take advantage of exciting QTeam features such as 2-8 team support, any number flags per team, any number of bases per team, shared flags and bases, dynamically sizing maps, different value flags and bases, jail cells for eliminated players in paintball, Scavenger hunt modes, deathtag mode, team spawn spots, team weapons and doors, and much more. The map designers package also includes some sample maps demonstrating these features and includes textures to define team bases, and other team objects within maps. See the documentation in the mapdes subdirectory for further details. II. Installing the package You must already have the registered version of Quake installed on your system in order to play QTeam. The installation of the QTeam package assumes that you have some familiarity with manipulating files and directories under DOS, Windows, or whatever operating system you use. 1. Pay attention to what directory you unzipped the QTeam archive (qteam20.zip). We will call this the Unzip directory. 2. Locate the Quake directory on your system. This will be the directory that contains quake.exe. 3. For the purpose of providing an example, let's assume that you unzipped QTeam into c:\temp (Unzip directory) and Quake on your system is located in c:\quake (Quake directory). Let's also assume that you are operating under DOS or a Windows DOS box, and that you are using PKZIP 2.04g for unzipping files. 4. Copy install.zip from the Unzip directory to the Quake directory Continuing our example, the command to do this would be copy c:\temp\install.zip c:\quake 5. Change to the Quake directory Continuing our example, the commands to do this would be c: cd \quake 5. Unzip install.zip using the preserve directory option Continuing our example, the command to do this would be pkunzip -od install.zip III.
