QUAKE PLAYER 0.95    -   7.5Mb of free FAST memory and FPU required!
-----------------

This is a non-playable demo of Quake Amiga. However, it is much more than a slideshow, 
that is why we call it the Quake Player. It allows you to view Quake demos, both 
the ones found in the game, as well as a vast number of demos from Internet.

=================================================================================
Very important: Quake Player does not just display presaved pictures, 
IT ACTUALLY RENDERS THE WHOLE GAMEPLAY IN REAL TIME AS IF YOU WERE PLAYING IT !!!
=================================================================================

Thus, the speed you see here is the actual speed you will be getting in the game.

Note1: Game speed over Internet will depend on the quality of your connection!
Note2: Gameplay will seem slightly smoother when watching demos than when actually 
       controlling the game because there is no eye-hand interaction involved.
Note3: On CPU less than 060 you should reduce the screen size to ~50%
       (from Options or Graphics menu)


OPTIONS
-------

All the options from the game are available in Quake Player. Press ESC, and use regular 
PC-like options, or Amiga-style menus. First time you press ESC it will take some time 
to load and display the menu. Next time it it loads it from buffer and displays faster.

Feel free to set resolution, sound and other options.
Obviously, starting the game, choosing maps, etc. will not give any results.


RUNNING DEFAULT QUAKE DEMOS
---------------------------

To simply see 3 demos found in the Quake game, from Shell type:

     quakeplayer

This will play 3 default demos in a loop. Alternatively, you may want to type:

     quakeplayer -nocdaudio
     quakeplayer -nosound -nocdaudio

to test it without sound and CD music playback. Consult text files in this dir for more info.

IF YOU HAVE ONLY 8Mb OF FAST RAM:
1. REMOVE EVERYTHING FROM WBSTARTUP TO HAVE 7.5Mb FREE
2. RUN PLAYER WITH    QUAKEPLAYER -MINMEMORY


CONSOLE
-------

To invoke a console, press ~ key (upper left corner of the keyboard).

Console.html file included in this directory is taken from the Net, and gives a 
detailed explanation of all the Quake console commands. Experiment!



RUNNING OTHER DEMOS
-------------------

To run any other Quake demos, simply copy it to your ID1 directory.
It should have .dem extension, so if you downloaded camper.dem you can play it from 
Quake console by typing    playdemo camper
(see below for explanation of console)



RUNNING DEMOS FROM QUAKE CONVERSIONS
------------------------------------

If you want to install a Quake conversion and would like to see its demo(s):

1. Create a directory inside Quake direcory, and name it whatever you like (ie. test)
2. Unpack the conversion to that directory
3. Run quake player by typing:  quakeplayer -game test



LIMITATION
----------

- Quake player can only play demos from the first Quake episode.
  (Therefore, qdq100 or similar will not work)

- Quake player will only play demos if it can find .pak file for them.
