Installation guide

To play Quakeworld you need the files pak0.pak and pak1.pak from the original Quake-game.

Install ezQuake to an existing Quake-installation

If you have an existing Quake-installation simply extract the ezQuake executable into your Quake-directory.

A typical error message when installing ezQuake into a pre-existing directory is about glide2x.dll missing. To get rid of this error, remove the file opengl32.dll from your Quake directory.

Upgrade an nQuake-installation

If you have a version of nQuake already installed you can upgrade ezQuake by extracting the new executable into the nQuake-directory.

Minimal clean installation

If you want to make a clean installation of ezQuake you can do this by following these steps:

1. Create a new directory
2. Extract the ezQuake-executable into this directory
3. Create a subdirectory called id1
4. Copy pak0.pak and pak1.pak into this subdirectory

Compiling

On Linux, ./build-linux.sh produces an ezQuake binary in the top directory.
