Quake and GLQuake

I created this page as I had difficulty in finding this information on the net.

Now that GLQuake is available, I wanted to give Quake another airing.

To enable Freelook

1. Open the console by pressing the tilde ~ key ( on my system, this is the key to the left of the 1 on the top row of the keyboard)
2. Enter the command +mlook
3. Press Enter
4. Close the console by pressing the ~ key again

You will now be able to look up and down and left and right using the mouse, without having to press the mouse modifier key.

• Tip

You can also add the same command to a personal Quake config file, which must reside in the ID1 subdirectory of the Quake directory.

Simply copy the config.cfg file which is already there, and rename it, say to myconfig.cfg - then, using a text editor such as Notepad, add the line +mlook to the file and save your new file.

Then enable myconfig.cfg by adding +exec myconfig.cfg to the run command that you use to run quake.

In my case, for Windows 95, I have a shortcut on my desktop, so I just edited the properties of the shortcut.

Happy GLQuaking!
