This is a complete manual to install,configure and learn all about PockeQuake.
Excuse my english.

INTRODUCTION

Quake was born in1996 continuing the Doom hits. His developpers add the possibility to play on mode multiplayer online.The best add was the map editor,skins ans other components.
With this ingredients the great hit return to Doom developpers.
In 2001 somebody ported the code of ID Software doing a hard work to the PocketPC. The HPC version was near. In 2002 the HPC version see the sun. The european HPC couldn´t run PocketQuake because a bit hardware differences but Wincesoft made the miracl in 2003.

Quake is the best HPC game, not only by the graphic quality. It abilite add infinity new scenaries as internal submarine, cities, buildings, palaces, caves, woods,... It possible add armament and maps of scenaries. Thank to its command interpreter we can change configuration of the Quake engine. Play online in mode multiplayer is possible. And the speed of the PocketQuake on your HPC? The game works perfect and there is not slow motion.

ALL DO YOU NEED TO INTALL POCKETQUAKE I

We need 6 files:

1. PocketQuake
2. pak0.pak.gz
3. pak1.pak
4. pocket quake launcher
5. gfx.wad
6. GX GAPI(only HP720 or HPCs ARM)
7. file Lms.zip(it contain AUTOEXEC.CFG, CONFIG.CFG, PROGS.DAT). This file is of the registered version.

Here you can find the HPC MIPS and SH3 version of PocketQuake and the HPC MIPS, SH3 and ARM of Pocket Quake Launcher:
http://home.freeuk.com/gamefreaks/pql/hpc_quake.htm

The PPC version of PocketQuake launcher here:
http://home.freeuk.com/gamefreaks/pql

And the exclusive PocketQuake to HPC ARM as 720 and the GX GAPI:
http://www.wincesoft.de/html/quake_for_hpc_s.html

The HPC ARM version as 720 by PocketMatrix:
http://quake.pocketmatrix.com/download.php#pq

PocketPC version of PocketQuake:
http://quake.pocketmatrix.com

The pak0.pak.gz file(shareware version) in twos sites:
http://www.wincesoft.de/html/quake_for_hpc_s.html
and here in GAME DATA FILES:
http://quake.pocketmatrix.com/download.php#pq

And gfx.wad here:
http://twtelecom.dl.souceforge.n ... ndustri/gfx.wad.zip

And pak1.pak (32,6 MB) you can find it at the PC version of the game Quake         I.


HOW TO INSTALL

Better on a Compact Flash(Storage Card).
At the first level in the Storage Card we create a folder named QUAKE and inside this we create an other folder named ID1.

In the ID1 folder copy the files pak0.pak.gz and pak1.pak.
Inside QUAKE folder copy the file gfx.wad of the PC version.
Extract the files inside Lms.zip and copy the files in ID1.

Pocket Quake Launcher is to launch scenaries or MODs. Not necessary to launch the original game  now. Later I will explain you how to use it.

Ready to run PocketQuake.

Memory configuration with more than 32MB of RAM on PPC or HPC ARM(as 720).
This game use too much memory. Configure your memory with only 3MB of Storage memory. The HPC version of PocketMatrix(3 video mode) requires less memory(less in mode full screen) than the HPC version of Wincesoft(always full screen). All works without problems.

Memory configuration on PPC or HP680/690 with 16MB of RAM.
PPC/HPCs SH3 with 16MB of RAM as the HP680 need 10850kb of Program Memory free and mor or less 300kb of Storage Memory to play without problems, slow motions, caché fail playing...
I want to remember all the people that all software always have to be installed on Compact Flash. Your RAM can´t use as a virtual Hard Disk to run this game, it requires a lot of RAM. A lot of memory? No problem. You can use SYSTEM PATH. It´s a freeware software to cut and paste DLLs(that your installed software put in Windows folder) to be ported to your Compact Flash.NYDITOT and HANDZIP DLLs don´t move DLLs. SYSTEM PATH save around 2MB of RAM. Your HPC will continue using DLLs on your Compact Flash.

The HPC680 PockeQuake runs perfect. If we compare the 720 and the 680 running PocketQuake there is practically no difference of speed.Only to load the game the 720 is faster.

SYSTEM PATH to PPC and HPC SH3 & HPC ARM here:
http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-Cupertino/2039
Once installed you find it on Control Panel. Open it and select Storage card and the folder where you will put the DLLs. Only DLLs of your software installed by you,  DLLs of other system you cannot move it

Ready to run



PLAY on Internet with MULTIPLAYER MODE .

To play in Multiplayer Mode with other players using internet.

There are two modes to play online, COOPERATIVE and DEATHMATCH.

COOPERATIVE
You play with other players in your team against the game monsters.

DEATHMATCH
A team against other team.
It´s so difficult The internet player has too much experience.
This player that we find in internet servers are very professional. They add heavy armament to theirs soldiers. When you play you can see big explosions with only one shots with a laser or futuristic armament.

The COOPERATIVE and DEATHMATCH mode are not selected by you. This mode is selected by the server or the player that use his PC as server with a minimum of 128kb/s internet speed to allow play several player without problems.

The minimum speed necessary to play online is 28kb/s.
I recommend configure first the keys in OPTIONS at the Menu.
And Increase the Brighnest and Contrast to have a better vision.

Well, it´s time to play.

Follow this instructions:

1.MULTIPLAYER
2.JOIN A GAME (play in a game server)
  or NEW GAME(you are the machine server and the game starts)
3.TCP IP
4.Introduce PORT(the greater part are 2600 but someone change)
5.In JOIN A GAME AT introduce the IP of the server do you want to play and press Enter.
Don´t forget to connect your HPC to internet first.

A message appears....

CONNECTION ACCEPTED

CLIENT TO SERVER ALIVE
SERVER TO CLIENT ALIVE
CLIENT TO SERVER ALIVE
SERV............................
and it will show several information about the game server, clan, scenaries,armament,....

If the server that you are connected has a web it show a presentation and a menu and instructions about this map or scenary.

In a few second the game starts.

Some servers show message as NOT FOUND  when the server don´t find scenaries on you HPC and we can´t play it. This is motivated because this servers use scenaries that we haven´t installed on our HPC. Later I will explain how to play at this servers.

I prefer with amateurs players in COOPERATIVE Mode. One do as server and the other as clients. The game will be more funny and the level of the players will the same. We can advance for the scenaries helping ones to the others.

I suggest that you play with friends or HPC users to play in COOPERATIVE mode. The greater part of the servers are DEATHMATCH mode.

A detail very important. If you push T you can chat with other players to do estrategies or inform about your purpose, or other thing.

QUAKE SERVERS TO PLAY ONLINE MULTIPLAYER(JOIN A GAME         mode)
Here is a link with servers:
http://www.gameaholic.com/servers/quake/0

The web shows the IP of each server and in a column Playrs/Max shows the player online and limited number of players. Don´t forget to refresh the page to actualize the servers.Every 15 minuts the web is actualized.

Enjoy it.


POCKETQUAKE I:  NAVY SEALS and more

Using the PocketQuake engine we can enjoy with hundreds of games created by good developpers.
NAVY SEALS is one of this cases.It was created by the same as COUNTER STRIKE. The quality of the product is very good.
In NAVY SEALS you are a elite´s soldier of USS Navy and you can to carry a mission. The game is very well do it. The warship is good recreation, many details, and the acts of the soldiers are so fine realized.You will not that your pulse increase.

PLAYING IN MULTIPLAYER IN A INTERNET QUAKE SERVER

Using the option MULTIPLAYER and JOIN A GAME AT:  xxx.xxx.xxx(IP server)
The console show the connection is satisfactory.
It show the version of the server that we are connected. But there is a problem. The console show the message NO GRAPHICS and UNKNOW COMMAND because it didn´t find the maps that are playing the server. There is no problem. The console will show a URL of a web where we can find this maps.
Normaly every server concern to a clan of players hosted in a web where we can download the maps files to install in our HPC.The files accostumed to be since hundred kilobytes to several MBytes.

We can´t play yet but we can continue connected to the server and see the chat conversation of the players.


INSTALLING GAMES AND SCENARIES IN POCKETQUAKE

The games to play in the console QUAKE are named MODs.(MODifications)

Here you can find several good games include NAVY SEALS. Not all can be installed:
http://www.quaketerminus.com/addon.htm
Download NAVY SEALS first and follow my instructions.Later you can do it yourself with other MODs.

How to install NAVY SEALS

The file is a ZIP file and has 8176kb.
We find inside this files:
7 files TXT with the history file of the game and the modes games.
PAK0.PAK the data game
SQUADBOT.CFG addition for the game
CONFIG.CFG  configuration of the game
AUTOEXEC.CFG the launcher

There is 2 files: NS30SRC.zip is the source code and SEALS is to play on MSDOS PC. We dont need this 2 files to our HPC.

Open a folfer inside QUAKE folder named NAVY for example(only one word).
Now we have two folder inside QUAKE:  ID1 and NAVY.
Introduce all the files mentioned before in NAVY.
NAVY is installed.

VERY IMPORTANT:
This instaler mode is for MODs as NAVY SEALS(single player) and MODs for MULTIPLAYER servers.
If you find files as PAK1,PAK2 and similars, or .BAT o something how the described before copy to the folder of the new MOD. The MSDOS files are not necessary because is for PC.

In mode MULTIPLAYER the console PocketQuake loads the MOD when it connect with the server that use this MOD automatically.

These are the games(scenaries and levels) included in PocketQuake.
I repeat the servers link:
http://www.gameaholic.com/servers/quake
Compare at this web the LEVEL column where it´s indicated the type of scenary MULTIPLAYER  people are playing with the original scenaries included in PocketQuake.
If the scenary that appears at the server is the same than yours you don´t need to download and install and you can connect and play directly.

EXAMPLE of CONNECTION TO A MULTIPLAYER SERVER

Open http:/www.gameaholic.com/servers/quake
I choose the server 209.96.178.230 because it has 9 players online(max 16 players) and I check the scenary e2m4 of this server is in my scenaries list included in PocketQuake. See the list of the last chapter.
When you connect it´s possible appears message UNKNOW COMMANDS but it´s not a important message and you input in the scenary.
A welcome message appears with the options of the game or a special menu.
You can see the image of the clan or the coat of arms of the clan. The game starts.


PLAYING BETWEEN HPC´S MULTIPLAYER

To play with severals HPC´s in MULTIPLAYER one of then will be the server. The others users need toknow the IP address of this HPC server.
The cable or DSL connections has a fixed IP.But modem users has a dynamic IP. Everytime the HPC connect to a HPC has a different IP.
To know what is the IP of the HPC server follow this steps. First connect the HPC(server) to internet. Open PocketQuake. Go to MULTIPLAYER, NEW GAME, TCP IP, and OK. Select BEGAN GAME and when the game starts push the key ESC and another time MULTIPLAYER, NEW GAME, TCP IP. Then in Address the IP is shawed. Tell this IP to your other HPC players.They must to introduce this is IP as a server.

To starts playing with HPCs...
The HPC server choose MULTIPLAYER,NEW GAME and TCP IP and OK.
The screen will show:
BEGIN A GAME
MAX PLAYERS
TEAMPLAY: OFF-NO FIRE FRIENDLY -FIRE FRIENDLY
FRAG: NONE-10...100
TIME LIMIT:5-60 minuts
EPISODE is the level you will play
LEVEL the level inside the game choose before

It´s time to starts the game. Go to BEGAN A GAME and presh ENTER.
The others HPC client  don´t need to configure nothing. When they connect to the HPC server receive the configuration to play a MOD , map or  scenary.
Remember if you want to play with other MODs or maps all the HPC must to have the MOD or map installed.
The HPC client choose MULTIPLAYER, JOIN A GAME, TCP IP and OK. In JOIN A GAME AT introduce the IP of the HPC server ans push ENTER. The connections will start.

VERY IMPORTANT: The game always has to be started for the HPC server to allow clients HPC connect to it.

This software is tested for me in HP7xx,HP6xx.But it works in others HPC.
Follow instructions step by step.

The official Quake site:
ID Software

You can open and use the console mode to do a lot of features as record a video of your game, load maps, play a video Quake(game recorded of other users or demos) downloaded from internet,...

The console commands:
http://www.planetquake.com/console/commands/quake.html

There are many web sites about Quake and many MODs and maps.
You have PocketQuake for a long time.

Remember Pocket Quake I is a port of the ID Software Quake compiled for HPC. Both are identical. Logically some MODs with EXE files(for Windows) dont work, but there are other MODs that have EXE files not esential very simply to discard.

Czy ktos sprawdzil, czy to dziala na NEC'u 780? Bo kolejnego rozczarowania nie przezyje...

Powinno działać, niemniej nie spodziewałbym się rewelacji odnośnie prędkości działania. Na Jornadzie 720 dało się względnie grać z dwoma botami - przy większej ilości to już była masakra.

Ale NEC ma problemy z GAPI jesli dobrze pamietam, wiec nie rob koledze nadziei

Ale NEC ma problemy z GAPI jesli dobrze pamietam, wiec nie rob koledze nadziei

no to szybkie pytanie ... czy na HP hx4700 w rozdzielczosci 480 na 640 da sie w to zagrac jako tako ?

Grac sie da... rozdzielczosci VGA chyba latwo nie da sie wymusic, ale w trybie dublowania pikseli bedzie chodzic. Wiecej na ten temat tutaj:
http://www.pdaclub.pl/view.php?news_id=9001
Oczywiscie jest jeszcze kwestia braku joypada... co bedzie raczej duzym problemem.

Dobra tam, kupię sobie laptopa za 200 zł i dam NECowi spokój.. :>
