FTEDroid is a port of FTE and is also created by Spike. It's a QuakeWorld, Quake 2 and Quake 3 client for Android devices. Keep in mind it's still under development and it is buggy.
Screenshot of FTEDroid running on an Android phone. Looking great!
Features
- supports all games that FTE supports;
- supports modifications (mods) as any other client.
- Different areas of the touchscreen are used to different binds. For example, to change weapon, simply press on its position on the hud;
- opens QuakeTV links, so you can observe LIVE games on your Android (refer to http://qtv.quakeworld.nu/ to see which games are going on);
Installation Instructions
- If you haven't done it yet, under Settings, *allow* non marketplace apps to be installed, or apps from unknown sources;
- Download this to your phone (the .apk is updated regularly). Install it.
- Now connect your phone to your pc and *copy pak0.pak and pak1.pak* to the phone memory in /fte/id1/ folder.
Usage
If the console text size is too small, use the command vid_conautoscale 4.
If it's too dark, use gl_contrast 1.3 and gl_brightness. gl_gamma doesn't work.
Settings will be automatically saved.
How to spectate QuakeTV streams:
- visit http://qtv.quakeworld.nu/ with the phone’s browser;
- click on a ‘watch’ link;
- It asks which app should open the link. Choose FTEDroid;
FTEDroid should launch and connect to the stream automatically.
Default binds:
- volume keys to +showteamscores,
- the left and right area of the screen to +jump and +fire (mouse1 and mouse2 binds).
- Use the MENU key to toggle the console, and the on screen keyboard to type on it.
Settings will be automatically saved. Use the BACK key to navigate.
Advanced Usage
It's a normal Quake client. You can run various quake mods (including mission packs) by installing them adjacent to the id1 directory on your sdcard, and then using the 'gamedir' console command to switch between them. switching between games (ie: between quake, quake2, hexen2, quake3) requires the use of the fs_changegame command in order to ensure various default settings get applied to match the different gamecode modes.
Known issues
- URLs opened with Opera browser don't work;
- users with swiftkey app reported not being able to use the onscreen keyboard to type in the console. Disable swiftkey.
- after a match ends, it disconnects from the stream - this is actually a [mvdsv] bug
- Quake 2 single-player or hosting your own server doesn't work without someone porting the gamecode to ARM architecture.
