Hey,

I have the latest nQuake installed and set up everything on default. The hi-res textures etc. are "nice", however I tried some old GLQuake client and noticed that I enjoyed those graphics better.

So my question is how to get ezQuake run on the original graphics: textures, models, sounds? Basically I just want the classic glquake graphics to run on a client with lots of features. Fullbright skins are a must though.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Instead of getting nQuake which is a full package that includes custom textures, models, sounds, etc...
Just get latest ezQuake, you can even install it on your old qw dir, if you have one, and keep everything as it was before...

Otherwise i'd go with tonik's suggestion and burn my comp for the sake of shagging

A lot has changed since old GLQuake, so getting it to look exactly like that is probably not possible... There isn't some magic "go back to 1997" var, so you'll have to tweak it all by hand. But maybe you didn't mean EXACTLY like the old GLQuake, then Vloodys suggestion will get you something less "pimped out" than nQuake.

This is the actual stuff that /legacyquake changes, so it has nothing to do with GLQuake:
if (!specific || (strcmp("1.9", ver) == 0)) {
Cbuf_AddText(
"hide ownfrags;echo hiding the ownfrags hud element (undo: show ownfrags);"
"menu_ingame 0;echo turning off ingame menu (undo: menu_ingame 1);"
);
}

if (!specific || (strcmp("1.8", ver) == 0)) {
Cbuf_AddText(
"r_tracker_messages 0;echo turning off tracker messages (undo: r_tracker_messages);"
"frags extra_spec_info 0;echo disabling extra spec info for frags hud element (undo: frags extra_spec_info 1);"
"teamfrags extra_spec_info 0;echo disabling extra spec info for teamfrags hud element (undo: teamfrags extra_spec_info 1);"
"hide radar;echo hiding the radar hud element (undo: show rader);"
// "r_chaticons_alpha 0;echo chaticon drawing disabled;"
);
}

it makes sure you are using original textures, and not 24bit addons

Ofcourse you COULD have just deleted the textures in the qw/textures folder.... but ok

I'd suggest GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_LINEAR, otherwise there is a lot of annoying flickering.

Rename or delete the directory `ezquake`, which sits alongside the `id1` directory.

Admin: ezquake directory also contains graphics required for newer functionality, such as AFK icons above heads, newer particle system, menu UI elements, tracker cons - be careful deleting it.
