basically to cut it short, you should get zquake and use it instead of qwcl (it replaces qwcl.exe) its the same kinda thing just with a couple more commands, if you are lpb theres not much in there for you, except a gl on the fly brightner thing, but if you are a modemer then i recommend it.



the first thing you'll notice is how easy it is to move around, it feels like low ping movement and bunnyhopping is incredibly easy, much more so than the jerky qwcl hopping. it has all the qizmo commands built in but you use qizmo with it. i can drop my pl by about ..well..if its 20 or 30, it should drop to about 5 to 10 max, just a simple command that you can fiddle around with built into zquake. heres the general info...


download it (i recommend the stable version, 0.10)


cl_speedjumpfix : makes it smooth and easier to speed jump.


cl_c2spps 1 : this drops my packetloss loads...sometimes i set this to about 20 or 30..but i think 1 works best.


if you are gonna switch over to zquake keep in mind that all the little english fags will type f_version after you beat them and say "oh" when they see zquake come up, then they'll say "i thought so" and you'll say "what?" and they'll say "oh nothing "
actually is there any way to record conversations in quake? like put it in a text file? i get so much of it everytime i play, pure gold.

this rules, movement seems like lan, bunnyjumpin is way smoother, my pl is gone, usually around 20-30, and previously i couldn't use 72fps cos of 50pl, with this there's no increase at all from going from 50fps - 72fps, hope ure allowed use this in comps i'm off to set it up properly l8r

alot of hpbs are using zquake now, and alot of european hpbs are using something else, theres alot another one called MQWCL I think. Just means you can compete better with lpbs now, but I don't think it will be banned..its not cheating at all..just an overdue update for qwcl thats all

Unfortunately there isn't much chance of it being usable in competition as the author has released the source code, and has no intention of including cheat protection.

if u ran qwcl with -condebug it used to dump the console to a text file. we used to use it for gibstats.

What if it's used with qizmo? will it detect any hacks?

Any admins who run leagues are usually lpbs....some are decent, some are wankers...depends, the source code for qwcl has been released..so its on the same footing as zquake, I havent tried it, but can you start zquake with qizmo? use one command line to start them up together? that would sort it. Yeah the condump thing should work..I should find some tonight...is there a command in zquake to get rid of rocket trails?

As far as I know, starting qwcl with qizmo causes qizmo to run some kind of crc check or the like on it to make sure it it the executable is valid, and since zquake.exe is nothing like qwcl.exe it fails and qizmo refuses to start.

Howdy, im a 13 year play thats been playing on customtf since i was 10 (thats 3 years) and comparing zquake with quakeworld, it really kicks arse. My PL always stays on 0 (was about 5-10) and my ping seems to be a bit lower as well, not much but i recken it is.
