AfterQuake

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 goal of AfterQuake is to make FTE easier to use. And why this is relevant? Because FTE is simply the most advanced Quake source port - 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.

You can now execute the FTE executable. But continue reading...
