This is the right place to start playing QuakeWorld® — the fastest first

Combining the features of all modern QuakeWorld® clients, ezQuake makes
QuakeWorld® easier to start and play. The immortal first person shooter
Quake® in the brand new skin with superb graphics and extremely fast
gameplay.
## Features
* Modern graphics
* [QuakeTV][qtv] support
* Rich menus

## Installation guide
To play Quakeworld you need the files *pak0.pak* and *pak1.pak* from the original Quake-game.
### Install ezQuake to an existing Quake-installation
If you have an existing Quake-installation simply extract the ezQuake executable into your Quake-directory.
A typical error message when installing ezQuake into a pre-existing directory is about *glide2x.dll* missing.
To get rid of this error, remove the file *opengl32.dll* from your Quake directory.
### Upgrade an nQuake-installation
If you have a version of [nQuake][nQuake] already installed you can upgrade ezQuake by extracting the new executable into the nQuake-directory.
### Minimal clean installation
If you want to make a clean installation of ezQuake you can do this by following these steps:
1. Create a new directory
2. Extract the ezQuake-executable into this directory
3. Create a subdirectory called *id1*
4. Copy *pak0.pak* and *pak1.pak* into this subdirectory
## Compiling
### Compiling a Windows binary
See [misc/docs/COMPILING_FOR_WINDOWS.md](misc/docs/COMPILING_FOR_WINDOWS.md)
### Compiling a Linux binary
_These instructions were tested on Ubuntu_
Make sure you have the dependencies installed:
(You may skip installing dependencies if you are going to use the build-linux.sh script included in the repository, this will take care of installing packages for you.)
- For *Debian/Ubuntu 16.10+*
```
sudo apt install git build-essential libsdl2-2.0-0 libsdl2-dev libjansson-dev libexpat1-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libpng-dev libjpeg-dev libspeex-dev libspeexdsp-dev libfreetype6-dev libsndfile1-dev libpcre2-dev libminizip-dev
```
- For *openSUSE Tumbleweed*
```
sudo zypper install -t pattern devel_C_C++
sudo zypper install git pcre2-devel Mesa-libGL-devel SDL2-devel libjansson-devel libexpat-devel libcurl-devel libpng16-devel libpng16-compat-devel libjpeg8-devel libjpeg-turbo libsndfile-devel speex-devel speexdsp-devel libXxf86vm-devel
```
- For *Fedora*
```
sudo dnf group install 'C Development Tools and Libraries'
sudo dnf install git pcre2-devel mesa-libEGL-devel SDL2-devel jansson-devel expat-devel libcurl-devel libpng-devel libjpeg-turbo-devel libsndfile-devel speex-devel speexdsp-devel libXxf86vm-devel
```
Clone the git repository:
```
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ezQuake/ezquake-source.git
```
Switch to `ezquake-source` path:
```
cd ~/ezquake-source/
```
Initialize/update git submodules:
```
git submodule update --init --recursive --remote
```
Run the compilation (replace 5 with the number of cpu cores you have +1):
```
make -j5
```
You can add `-jN` as a parameter to `make` to build in parallell. Use number of cpu cores plus 1 (e.g. `-j5` if you have a quad core processor).
Copy the compiled binary to your Quake folder, on 64bit linux the binary will be called `ezquake-linux-x86_64`.
### Compiling an OS X binary
See [misc/docs/COMPILING_ON_OSX.md](misc/docs/COMPILING_ON_OSX.md)
