Introduction

Authentication was added by Meag back in 2020. In this page you can find simplified instructions on how to set it up as a player. It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes of your time, and it will automatically authenticate you on compatible servers.
The goal is to simplify the original instructions.

Process

  1. You need an account at badplace.eu, linked to quakeworld.nu account. Create it.
    1. Follow link posted to your quakeworld.nu account (private message) and fill in the form.
  2. Logged in at badplace, go to your profile page and create an authentication token - "label" isn't relevant, just give a name.
    1. Download & save it in your config directory ezquake\configs
  3. In the client, there's one setting you need to save to your config:
    1. /cl_username <your_user_name>
    2. /cfg_save
  4. In the client, you can now authenticate when connected to a compatible server:
    1. /authenticate
    2. To authenticate automatically, see Optional below.
  5. done


Optional

Automation

If you want to authenticate automatically (recommended), add the following to your config (save):
alias infoset "cmd info ev 13"
alias sinfoset "cmd info ev 13"
alias on_connect "authenticate"

Flags

When someone is authenticated, if you don't have the (country) flags, an * (asterisk) will be shown on the scoreboard. To add the flags, get this pk3 and place in /qw.

Troubleshooting

  • Don't have a quakeworld.nu account? Message an admin in Discord to create one for you.
  • Invalid token in badplace.eu page? You must be logged in in badplace.eu. If that's not the problem, you can delete your badplace account and register again (do this as last resort - even thought it isn't problematic).
