FTEDroid is a fork of FTE and is also created by Spike. It's a QuakeWorld client for Android devices.
Features
- Different areas of the touchscreen are used to different binds;
- opens QuakeTV links;
Installation Instructions
- Download this to your phone (the .apk is updated regularly).
- Install it, 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. Noone is going to use FTEDroid to play. The #1 use is to spectate QuakeTV streams. Here's how to do it:
- visit http://qtv.quakeworld.nu/ with the phone’s browser;
- click on a ‘watch’ link;
- It asks me which app should open the link. Choose FTEDroid;
FTEDroid will launch and connect to the stream automatically. You can use 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.
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
