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. Create account on badplace.eu, linked to quakeworld.nu account
    1. Follow link posted to quakeworld.nu account to complete process
  2. Create an authentication token, download & save in your config directory
  3. in the client, there's one setting you need to save to your config:
    1. /cl_username <your_user_name>
  4. in the client, you can now authenticate when connected to a compatible server:
    1. /authenticate
  5. done


Optional

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

You can also add flags to the scoreboard - get this pk3 and place in /qw.
