First shooter I ever played was Quake 1, and I found it entirely addicting. I must've played it 30 times to date having bought it when it was two years old (or so) from original release date. But I was never able to get the mouse- looking to work properly, I must always use something like q and z keys to look up and down. I know there is a command for it that "makes it happen", and it does work, but not like it should or as it does normaly in quake 2... it works very strangely, to the point of deciding not to use the command. Anyone know if there is an update for it? Is the current sale version updated properly for WinXP? Is there some software technique that cleanly resolves this deep mystery? Is there a hacked correction file up for download somewhere? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Thanks all, Alex

What I did: added "+mlook" without the quotes in my ID1 directory in my Quake I directory, and then in the config.cfg, at the bottom, changed 'crosshairs' to 1. Now it feels just like it should. -- Cory "Shinnokxz" Hansen http://coryhansen.com

Alternatively, you can simply just type +mlook in the console when starting the game, but you'd have to type it each time you start up--thus, the reason why you put it in autoexec.cfg But yeah, I know what you mean. I actually just made a post about it minutes before you did, looking up and down with the keyboard just does not sync well with how fast I move around. -- Cory "Shinnokxz" Hansen http://coryhansen.com

Too bad for me, I do not have an autoexec.cfg file anywhere. My autoexec.bat is "not a valid win32 application". I am using XP home. And when I use +mlook, the mouse will no longer "turn" but side step...? Can I have that link you found? Alex

Hey, Just make your own autoexec.cfg file in the ID1 and set it so lookstrafe/spring is off in the normal options. -- Cory "Shinnokxz" Hansen http://coryhansen.com

HOWEVER, I would like to play in opengl without having it need 3dfx, anyone know how to do that? I have seen it before and it looks much better than winquake....? Alex

Okay I think this is it, correct? http://www.planetquake.com/proquake/ I grabbed glq8_27.zip, wqpro350.zip, glpro350.zip, locs.zip, all are installed and quake looks and acts perfect in every way. Except now I am stuck on 640x480, no change cursor available in the gui I and must type in the resolution in the console. I do not know the "way" to type it in, or how the text is configured to 1024x768x32... Can I make a permanent rez in either cfg files, so it will open the way I want it? Alex
