QuickStart
Welcome to FTE QuakeWorld
Besides the regular QuakeWorld client, FTE has an Android client (FTEDroid) and Dedicated Server!
It's very likely that you used a modern QuakeWorld client before, maybe even FTE. You'll be glado to know that newer FTE revisions are friendlier to use and have features that the users will appreciate. Some quick stuff to get you going with FTE:
Menu
If you want to go to the original menu, press CTRL-C to get rid of it. Then press F5 to run the “old” server brower (its better than the one on the new menu). You might want to check the graphical presets.
Paths
Paths can be annoying. Assuming that you don’t want to use “My Documents” folder to keep your data, confirm that FTE is using the current folder by typing /path in the console. If it is using “My documents”, start FTE with the parameter -nohome, and create a shortcut to it.
Config management
Config management is similar to ezQuake. Some quick facts to summarize. fte/fte.cfg is the config that is loaded when you run fte. other configs get saved into fte/configs/*
cfg_save Saves fte.cfg into fte/ folder cfg_save fooSaves foo.cfg into fte/configs/ folder exec foo.cfg executes foo.cfg from default locations, fte/ or qw/ or id1/
Type /listconfigs to list every config on fte/ folder. There are more /list options, for example /listcrosshairs.
