AfterQuake is a Quake package, similar to QuakeWorld's nQuake, ClassicQ, or even Quake's Epsilon Mod. It was launched at the QuakeExpo 2016 (QEXPO2016) event. Link to announcement.
It is a combination of the FTE engine (source port or client) and community-made content packages.
It supports both Quake (singleplayer) and QuakeWorld (multiplayer).
Main menu. There's some hidden gems there
the console! So many features...
The Options sub menu
Wonderful video options
oh the eyecandy. or not. just disable everything and get the most vanilla look
The goal of AfterQuake is to make FTE easier to use. And why this is relevant? Because FTE is simply the most advanced Quake client - it supports everything! - and it will change the way you look at this game.
This page is about AfterQuake only.
Visit FTE wiki page for a more extensive list of features.
Installation
Download the zip file (link below) and extract to an empty folder (e.g. c:\afterQuake). Then copy from your original Quake directory the following files:
- /id1/pak0.pak
- /id1/pak1.pak
to the corresponding folder in your afterQuake folder.
Linux and MacOsx: download the latest binary for your machine and place it in AfterQuake folder.
You can now execute the FTE executable. But continue reading...
Step by step
When you first start, you will be presented with the downloads menu. Choose flavor:
- AfterQuake Minimum - the base package
- AfterQuake Slim - The base package with some graphical updates
- AfterQuake Full - higher quality textures, models, etc
Click apply. The packages to download are listed. Confirm. Once the downloads finish, you're ready to play!
Contents
What do the packages include? It depends on the package you choose.
- redesigned main menu,
- example configs,
- custom aliases, for your convenience (/list*, etc)
- Vised maps

much more...
Most packages can be enabled or disabled on the fly without needing to redownload or restart FTE
The downloads menu can be accessed later via the menus, or simply via the /menu_downloads console command.
Some content isn't included on purpose, because of copyright issues. For example:
