Well I firstly installed GLquake - then realised i dont have GL c",) - after this i installed WinQuake 1,9. This made quake run fine and i played it online and all (once only unfortunally *S*). then i downloaded TF. In the installation it searces for the quake directory and found it alright, i choose yes and it installed into c:\quake\fortress ... see i don't know how it all works, so i just run the WinQuake.exe and expect to get everything (which abviosly is too optimistic *S*) I havnt downloaded any maps for fortress, and dont know which ones to get!? Well i hope you can help me, and i hope ill find some people to play with.
