===== Quake Configuration =====

These are some suggestions, hints and tips on how to setup Quake to give you a good experience.

==== Basics ====
Launch Quake and press the ^ key (left to the 1), you now see the [[console]]. Here you can enter countless commands and set variables.

Everything you enter in the console you could also write into a config file so it will be loaded when you run Quake again. TODO config.cfg/autoexec.cfg explanation, new page?

=== I cannot look with the mouse! ===
Enter ''+mlook'' in the console to enable mouse-look

=== There is no crosshair! ===
Enter ''crosshair 1'' in the console to enable the crosshair. Some [[engines]] bring more crosshairs, try "crosshair 2" and other integers.

=== I am walking to slowly! ===
Set "Always run" to "On" in the Options Menu to set a faster walking speed.

=== How to disable the auto-aim? ===
Enter ''sv_aim 1'' (yes, 1) to disable the automatic vertical aim.

=== I cannot figure out how to run this map! ===
If you want to be able to play a lot of fan-made singleplayer maps easily, check out the [[tools:quake_injector]]

==== More advanced changes ====

=== Disable texture filtering ===
To enable //oldschool// pixel rendering in instead of the texture blur enter ''gl_texturemode GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_LINEAR'' in the console. Oh, doesn't it look great now!

=== Square Particles ===
You can also make particles be rendered as squares instead of circles by entering ''r_particles 2'' in the console, not many engines support this. Fitzquake and Quakespasm do.

=== Faster rising underwater ===
Add this to your [[autoexec.cfg|config]] and change mouse2 to whatever key or button you use to jump to enable faster ascension underwater when using the jump key.

<blockquote><code>alias +movejump "+jump;+moveup;"
alias -movejump "-jump;-moveup;"
bind mouse2 +movejump</code></blockquote>
