About the DarkPlaces glquake engine:\r
DarkPlaces engine was started because I was unsatisfied with the other engines\r
\r
DarkPlaces engine is the result, I hope everyone likes it.\r
\r
+See the end of this file for information on how to install Quake from CD on\r
+Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux.\r

I am not very good at writing documentation, so this readme is organized as a\r
feature list, with information on each feature, I hope it is still adequate\r
documentation.\r
Longer chat messages.\r
No more 72fps limit, host_maxfps lets you decide.\r
Support for more mouse buttons (mouse1-mouse16, mwheelup/mwheeldown are aliases to mouse4 and mouse5).\r

+How to install Quake on each operating system:\r
+All that DarkPlaces needs from the Quake CD is pak files (be sure not to copy\r
+opengl32.dll from the Quake CD, it will not work with DarkPlaces!), with this\r
+in mind, all you need to do is make a Quake directory, extract the darkplaces\r
+engine zip to that directory, then make a quake/id1 directory, and put the\r
+pak0.pak and pak1.pak from your Quake CD into the quake/id1 directory, then\r
+all should be well.\r
+\r
+How to deal with a DOS Quake CD on Windows:\r
+Try to use the DOS Quake installer if you can, use DOSBox if necessary to run\r
+the installer, then copy the pak0.pak and pak1.pak to your id1 directory in\r
+the darkplaces installation. ( http://dosbox.sourceforge.net )\r
+\r
+How to deal with a DOS Quake CD on Linux:\r
+cat /media/cdrom/resource.001 /media/cdrom/resource.002 >quake.lha\r
+unlha x quake.lha\r
+If you can't get unlha or lha for your distribution, try using DOSBox to run\r
+the Quake installer.\r
+\r
+How to deal with a DOS Quake CD on Mac OSX:\r
+Unknown. Linux solution may work if you can get hold of lha, otherwise use\r
+DOSBox to run the Quake installer.\r
+\r
+How to deal with a WinQuake CD on Windows:\r
+Copy the D:\Data\id1\pak0.pak and pak1.pak to your id1 directory.\r
+\r
+How to deal with a WinQuake CD on Linux:\r
+Copy the /media/cdrom/data/id1/pak*.pak to your id1 directory.\r
+\r
+How to deal with a WinQuake CD on Mac OSX:\r
+Find the data directory on the cdrom and copy the data/id1/pak*.pak files to\r
+your id1 directory.\r
+\r
+How to deal with a Linux Quake CD on Windows:\r
+Find an archiver (perhaps 7zip or winrar) that can extract files from rpm\r
+archives, locate the pak files and copy them to your id1 directory.\r
+\r
+How to deal with a Linux Quake CD on Linux:\r
+mkdir temp\r
+cd temp\r
+# in the following line replace quake.rpm with a correct rpm filename\r
+cat /media/cdrom/quake.rpm | rpm2cpio | cpio -i\r
+Now you should have a mess of subdirectories, locate the pak files and copy to\r
+your id1 directory.\r
+\r
+How to deal with a Linux Quake CD on Mac OSX:\r
+Unknown. If you can get hold of rpm2cpio and cpio you should be able to\r
+follow the Linux method.\r
