Linux/Unix

1. Using the X version on Linux, why can't I rotate the viewport? (the alt-arrow keys won't work)

Most likely your window manager uses alt-arrow keys to do something special, so Quest never gets those key events. To fix this, you need to tell your window manager to leave those keys alone, or you'll have to change which keys Quest uses.

How to disable the window manager's key grabbing depends on which window manager you use, so you'll have to look in its documentation.

For fvwm2, you'll need to comment out the following lines in your .fvwm2rc file:

# meta = ALT
# press arrow + meta key, and scroll by 1/10 of a page
#Key Left	A	M	Scroll -10 +0
#Key Right	A	M	Scroll +10 +0
#Key Up		A	M	Scroll +0 -10
#Key Down	A	M	Scroll +0 +10

If you use Window Maker:

1. Start Quest.
2. Right-click on the title-bar.
3. Select 'Attributes'.
4. Select 'Advanced options'.
5. Make sure the 'don't bind' options are checked.

Quake I

2. I don't seem to be able to find any wad files for Quake I. Ideas?

(from Rigel Freden) Try http://ftp.gameaholic.com/mirrors/ftp.cdrom.com/idgames2/graphics/texture_wads/quakewad.zip.

You can also get the cwad2 program from the downloads section. It can extract textures from .bsp files in .pak files, and can be used to create .wad files with all textures from normal Quake I.
