Quake has 4 episodes that are split into 2 files: pak0.pak: contains episode 1; pak1.pak: contains episodes 2-4; These files aren't free to distribute, but pak0.pak is sufficient to run the game and it's freely available via the shareware version of Quake. Another nice Quake launcher is Quake Injector www.quaddicted.com, which works on Windows, OS X, and Linux. Quake Injector is dedicated to running singleplayer maps, and it can automatically download/install/launch SP maps from the vast Quaddicted map archive.

Step 1: Prepare original Quake

classicQ requires Quake 1 to run. More specifically, it needs the game data archives contained in the PAK0.PAK and PAK1.PAK files. These two files are always located inside the QuakeId1 folder.

You can easily calculate MD5 checksums with Windows PowerShell:
Get-FileHash PAK0.PAK, PAK1.PAK -Algorithm MD5

Step 2: Download classicQ

To download classicQ, simply get the latest release (under 'Source code' link) from GitHub:
http://github.com/classicQ/classicQ.github.io/releases/latest
Don't worry, you won't need to compile anything.

Step 3: Generate config file

Config files are text files with the .cfg extension. They contain player settings such as keyboard controls. All Quake settings must be configured using the in-game console or by manually editing .cfg files. This is quite cumbersome to new users. Luckily, you can setup a basic config file using the configurator below.

Firstly, rearrange the keyboard settings (refresh the page to restart the process if needed)

  • W
  • S
  • A
  • D
  • SPACE
  • Left Mouse Button
  • Right Mouse Button
  • Middle Mouse Button
  • Q
  • E
  • SHIFT
  • moves forward
  • moves back
  • moves left
  • moves right
  • jump
  • (primary attack) Rocket Launcher
  • (secondary attack) Thunderbolt
  • (tertiary attack) Grenade Launcher
  • Axe
  • Shotgun
  • Nailgun

Please save it as initial_keybinds.cfg and keep it for later use.
You can put it into the same folder with the already prepared PAK0.PAK and PAK1.PAK files.

Step 4: Put everything together

You're almost finished! Now that you have all the necessary files, it is time to copy everything to the correct folders.

  1. Extract classicQ from .zip file to any temporary location
  2. Open the extracted files and locate the Fodquake directory (the one with an uppercase 'F')
  3. Move Fodquake directory to any convenient location, for example D:GamesFodquake
  4. Next, open that folder and then open the id1 directory (D:GamesFodquakeid1). Copy the previously prepared PAK0.PAK, PAK1.PAK files and the initial_keybinds.cfg file here (you can overwrite the existing initial_keybinds.cfg file)

Congrats! You have finished installing classicQ!
To start the game, go to the Fodquake directory and run the fodquake-gl.exe file.

      The freeware release of X-Men: Ravages of Apocalypse is missing the music from the original CD release. As such, the music is provided here in formats supported by most source ports.
      Source: https://www.quaddicted.com/files/music/xmen_music_flac.zip. Renamed and reorganized to work correctly with QuakeSpasm.
      OGG version recommended for use with source ports to minimize file size while maintaining quality. Use WAV version if burning CD or converting to another format.

      This is the full installer for America's Army v2.8.3. Although it is the latest full installer available, further patching is required to update the game to the latest version (all required patches and instructions are available on America's Army wiki page).
      Note that official support for the game has been dropped. The main authentication server is no longer available, rendering online multiplayer and training missions unusable.
      For continued support, it is recommended to use a community-maintained client like Assist (http://aao25.com/getting-started/).
