lo

I fancy having a go at playing quake again, its been sooo long since i last played and have lost touch with how ya set it up

Was wondering if quakeworld supports opengl with nvidia cards?
Is there any way to run quakeworld windowed so that i dont have to install my sblives dos drivers?

If someone would be kind enough to tell me how to set this up/what files i will need would be greatly appreciated

u will need quakeworld: ftp://ftp1.barrysworld.com/quake1/quakeworld/beta/qw233-0005.zip

glquake: im sure u can find this somewhere

IMPORTANT: unless u have a 3dfx card u MUST delete the opengl32.dll which glquake installs into the quake dir.

launch with a command line of something like:
c:\quake\glqwcl.exe -heapsize 33333 -zone 2048 -bpp 16 -width 640 -height 480

change the bpp/width/height parameters to desired colour depth/resolution... adding -window _should_ engage windowed mode tho i havent really used this in gl b4. i dunno y ure worried about dos sound drivers, quakeworld is purely a win32/linux application and will use wotever sound hardware your OS provides it with.
www.voodooextreme.com/3Fingers has some great basic stuff on glquake/qw, including links to where u can get hold of patches for vissed (see-thru) water etc...
