NecroBoi's Configuration v1.7 for QUAKE v1.01              Qcfg17.zip
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This version is intended for a 3 button mouse (you do have one, don't
you?). My personal recommendation is the TrackMan Marble - very cool.

Qcfg17.zip contents: autoexec.cfg, necro17.cfg, readme.txt

----------------------------------------------------------------------


- setup info

  Print out this Readme.txt. It would be wise to delete your existing
  config.cfg file and backup your autoexec.cfg, if you have one,
  before continuing. Unzip QCFG17.ZIP into C:\quake_sw\id1\. On the
  command line or in a batch file you would type:
 
                quake.exe +exec necro17.cfg -nojoy

  Once the game has started press F12 to bypass the menu screen to go
  directly to the Introduction Level. Now, set your gamma correction
  by using F11. To setup your 'Quick Rocket' button, press INS to
  receive all weapons; select a weapon with the number keys; then fire
  a single rocket with Mouse button 3. Press F4 to bring up the
  Options Menu. Make sure Autorun and Lookspring are ON. Press F12
  again. You are now ready to inflict pain upon others :). Please read
  the 'special keys' section for more info on other key functions.

  * If you select 'Reset to Defaults' (why would you want to do that?)
    in the Options Menu, do not try to re-initialize autoexec.cfg or
    necro16.cfg from the console. You will cause Quake to crash. Quit
    the game, instead, and restart with the proper parameters.

- movement keys

  w - forward 
  s - back
  a - move left (strafe)
  d - move right (strafe)
  f - move up 
  v - move down


- mouse controls

  mouse forward - move forward
  mouse backward - move backward
  mouse move left -turn left
  mouse move right - turn right  

  button 1 - fire weapon
  button 2 - freelook - hold down and move mouse to look around
  button 3 - quick rocket

  button 2 - impulse 10 (weapon cycle) * when Freelook mode is engaged
	
  * For a 2 button mouse you would simply have to remap MOUSE3 to a
    suitable key on the keyboard. I would put Quick Rocket on (f) and
    Moveup/MoveDown to (g) and (b) respectively. You can now use (v)
    for Centerview should you desire. 

  * note - Mouse sensitivity has been set to a default of 5.00. If you
    prefer a different setting you will have to alter the sensitivity
    of the Full Zoom and Sniper Zoom modes as well

----------------------------------------------------------------------

! special keys

 - Float mode (b) allows you to maintain buoyancy in water; handy in 
   emergency situations where a quick swim to the surface is needed

   note - Jump (SHIFT) is disabled when Float is activated and also,
   Moveup and Movedown will have no effect
 
 - Circle Strafing keys (q and e); use these keys in conjunction with
   Forward (w); some experimenting is required to use these keys
   successfully; these keys are redundant under bad lag conditions in
   multiplayer games on the net

 - added unsupported Crosshair (i) or (ALT)

 - Freelook mode toggle key (c) or (l); remaps default mouse button 2
   (+mlook) to IMPULSE 10 (weapon cycle)

   note - You cannot set Crosshair in conjunction with this mode on.
   Set Crosshair first before activating Freelook. Lookspring is set
   as a default in non-Freelook mode. Centerview will not work with
   Freelook so this function is not included in this configuration.

 - sniper (SPACE) and full zoom (x) hotkey modes with a toggling
   Crosshair; target centering has been incorporated into all zooms -
   but will not function in network games
 
   note - The fact that your weapon aims off to the lower right of
   center is an error (deliberate?) in programming on id's part. I
   have tried to compensate by changing the front/back and left/right
   viewpoint offsets. The side effect is your weapon swinging to the
   left on zoom modes. This is still visually appealing, in my
   opinion, so I left it in. BTW - will not function in network games.

 - regular full zoom ([ and ]) and an incremental zoom (o and p)
 
 - Quick Rocket button (MOUSE3); this will fire 1 rocket and return to
   your previous weapon
   
   note - will not work with IMPULSE 10 (weapon cycle) selections; the
   rocket will default back to your last keyboard weapon selection

 - single grenade to double shotgun (r)


----------------------------------------------------------------------


- tips on usage

  I generally use Freelook mode as my default setup. I switch to
  Freelook OFF when certain situations require a bit more precision
  in execution, such as jumping and moving onto narrow structures.
  Please try out this script without modifications. I consider the
  Lookspring mode more of a trainer and I suggest using it if you are
  new to keyboard/mouse.I have tried to maintain the most logical
  setup for all the features I have put into it. If you have a better
  setup solution or improvement, pass it on to me. I am always open
  to new ideas. I decided to omit miscelaneous scripting for pract-
  ical reasons and have made this a purpose built configuration ...
