Hi.
Interesting stuff. I'll see if I can get it to work on my Mac. I tried it very long time ago, but without much success at all. But I think it's time to give it a try again.
Do I need to find an old copy of the original version of Quake for Mac, or is this included in the beta version?

Hi,
This is actually quite interesting. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm wondering what's going to happen from here. Is the game re-entering development or is it more of a way to get the modern systems working with it?

sorry to say, but those sounds are crap, pack 1 is missing. those sounds were  from original quake. please improve the sounds!

hi, on windows vista I have the following error
Traceback (most recent call last):  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\cx_Freeze\initscripts\Console.py", line 27, in <module>  File "AudioQuake.py", line 7, in <module>  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\GUI\__init__.py", line 74, in <module>  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\GUI\Colors.py", line 8, in <module>  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\GUI\Color.py", line 8, in <module>ImportError: DLL load failed: Nie można uruchomić aplikacji, ponieważ jej konfiguracja równoczesna jest niewłaściwa.

OK

Thanks all for the comments so far.

@SLJ, It's all there in the beta, no additional software required. You're right, the docs are missing in action at the moment. I wonder if we could reuse the docs we already had; I will look into it, but for now it's mostly going to make sense to previous players. Please join the group and ask your questions if you have the mind for it. The tutorial is mostly harmless, but it might not make sense to a complete newbie.

@aaron: To be honest we're just trying to get it running on modern machines. If somehow we were able to rekindle the past, we might do it, but Quake I really is an old game, and yeah, I don't expect that we'll get many newcomers. Still, we'd appreciate all the help we can get. I'm afraid neither of us has the time we used to, so things are just naturally very slow.

@mario: It should be. Please join our group; we need more Win8 users.

@speeder: You should be getting Mindgrid sounds and the Quake demo sounds; if not, please file an issue, or post a note to our group.

@seal: actually, we investigated Quake III at one point, but settled for Mindgrid instead. You're right it's a more modern game, but it was also exclusively multiplayer arena and we didn't see any compelling reasons. Perhaps, if we'd had the time, but we didn't. In fact, most of the work for AQ was already done when Id put out the sources. My only regret was that we never finished the audio renderer, because the Quake I codebase was hardcoded to be stereo, whereas Quake III had an OpenAL driver port for all the platforms.

@mojsior: the game mechanics have not changed, sorry. AQ was intended to be played by both blinks and sighties, although there are a few sticking points in reality. If we could have adapted Quake without modifying it, you can be sure that we would have.

Vista isn't working yet. We will need to look into that, at some point. However, you're looking at a launcher issue, so maybe we can resolve it. Please join our group if you can.

The project is OpenSource, so join the group and help the team by better sounds when you think they suck that much.

OK, Matt has converted the docs into MD, and as soon as we've polished that up, we'll publish, including the sound tour. And yeah, if you want better sounds, and you have copylefted licenses (GPL-compatible) for them, please do get in touch and we can look into including them. Our priority right now, though, is to get people playing the game, as it was then, now.

@SLJ, you should be able to press tilde ("~") on your keyboard to get into the console, and then type quit. Hopefully.

As usual comments/feedback/patches welcome …

Are there currently any multiplayer servers up? I doubt so since the beta was just released but I thought I'd ask anyway.

hello, can you play all 4 episodes or just 1 episode of the game, like in the jediquake portable mod? and in ep 1 map 7, there's this monster which seems to be right in the lava and I can't kill it. how do I kill it?

hi the game sounds and the game in general are really laggy and keep jumping around. also I've noticed that when I play normal quake, my character just started playing himself! I didn't have too do anything, he went through the hole map slaughtering monsters and picking up loot.

why the demo recording? How do I start the normal game?

I've found what appears to be a bug. I'm not sure if this is limited to the tutorial or not.

After a while sapi just seems to stop speaking. Nothing I do is able to reenable it.

Also trying to save a game in the tutorial says "Unable to save ultiplayer games."

I've confirmed it, sapi seems to break after a certain number of calls for some reason.
