Part I: Introduction & Installation

Welcome to Soul Of Evil, the Quake Fantasy Project. Soul Of Evil is a primarily single-player Quake game, although it also supports deathmatch, cooperative, arena mode (a new type of gameplay), as well as botmatches. In order to play Soul Of Evil you will need at least 32 MB of RAM, preferably 64 MB or more.

Soul of Evil is available in two versions: the Full Version and the Split Version. Although the latter is split up into four sections (for the internet connection impared), it contains exactly the same files when combined.

If you downloaded the Full Version, then simply extract all files in soul_of_evil.zip to 'C:\quake\soe', replacing 'c:\quake' with whatever folder that contains quake.exe (the 'soe' folder should be ALONGSIDE your 'id1' folder in the Quake directory).

If you downloaded the Split Version, first ensure you have all four parts (soe_1.zip, soe_2.zip, soe_3.zip, soe_4.zip), and in each one of them, extract the inluded .pak file to 'C:\quake\soe', replacing 'c:\quake' with whatever folder that contains quake.exe (the 'soe' folder should be ALONGSIDE your 'id1' folder in the Quake directory). Only when all four pakfiles (pak0.pak, pak1.pak, pak2.pak, pak3.pak) are in the 'soe' directory will you be able to play.

Once you have installed Soul Of Evil, you may start the game by going into your Quake directory and starting Quake from a command prompt in the following way:

Quake -winmem 24 -listen 12 -game soe

Or, if you are a GLQuake user, you need only start this way:

"GlQuake -listen 12 -game soe"

Once you have entered Soul Of Evil and are ready to play, you can select a New Game from the main menu. From there you'll be able to select from Quest (single player) or Arena (new gameplay type) modes and start your game. To start a multiplayer game or botmatch, see the multiplayer section.
