Hiho out there !

The first beta version of Quake Wizard is now available at

ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/quake/utils/frontends/qwiz09b1.zip

After the first use you will never want to start Quake from

command-line anymore.

Features:

- easy skill selection

- easy map selection for built-in maps (e.g. Mission Packs, CTF,...) and

user-created (map descriptions will be displayed for user maps)

- game-type selection (standard, mission packs, CTF (up to 4.1), Head

Hunters...)

- ability of changing all the special options that come with each of those

game-types

- easy browsing through installed patches and reading enclosed docs

- demo-recording/playback

- ability to configure the selected executable (OpenGLQuake, Rendition,

etc.)

- server support (listen/dedicated)

- server configuration

- server rules

- Quick-Configurations that act exactly like Windows color-schemes

- additional/global commands

- no use of difficult and confusing plug-ins ;)

- ability to insert easily every tool you like in the tools menu (e.g.

QSpy)

- clearly designed, so you always know what you are doing
