QUAKE LAUNCH, a new launcher that does everything you need!
New version 1.8.97 released!
Just a few of the highlights from QUAKE LAUNCH:
1) Store all your maps in zip format, only extracted at runtime and
then deleted after you startup again.
2) QuakeC patches launched as well (can include paths in the ZIP for
extracting MDL's, Sound etc.), also only extracted at runtime and then
deleted.
3) Options for Single player, Multiplayer, Internet Play, Bots and
Listen Servers.
4) Extra command line options
5) Switch on/off joystick detection.
6) Switch on/off CD Audio.
7) Select memory settings (WinMem)
8) Choose which map to start at.
9) Full Windows 95 application.
10) Built in Help file.
11) Shows date of last time you played each map/patch.
12) Individually score each map/patch.
13) Full screen of multiplayer options to set up, (Listen, Dedicated,
DM, coop, noexit, player details, limits, modem setup etc.)
14) Option to open a file of Quake servers and name/details, even
reads in the excellent RIFT HTML format file or your own.
15) Exits as Quake is Launched to free maximum memory possible.
16) Sort maps/patches by name/date last played/score.
17) Automatically reads TXT file of any QuakeC file and binds the 'L'
key to a list of all IMPULSE commands in the file.
18) Supports skins as a PROGS sub directory under the QuakeC dir for
your PLAYER.MDL file.
19) Edit your config.cfg and autoexec.cfg from within Quake Launch.
20) Password option on startup, keep your Kids out!.
This new version is to replace the previous 0.2.43 version, the ZIP
file to download from the web page is now only 423K!
No libraries, drivers or database engines need to be installed in this
version, the Setup routine just copies the files to the right
locations. No messing with Registry entries either, a straight forward
application with one EXE file and a few INI files.
Sound Good!, download it now from
