I use the latest version of nquake, is there anyway to make it go right to the quake demo first instead of going to the consol? I remember playing Quake by itself and it would show the playing demo at the start. Brings back lots of memories!

I wonder if this works:

There seems to be three settings, menu, browser, console for that variable, so give them a try.

cl_onload browser will bring up the server browser. There are hidden options to the cl_onload command where you can put any ezquake command which means

will work just fine. If you instead want to go directly in to the demo browser you can put


The other option to play a demo at client start is to create an autoexec.cfg (or if it already exists put it at the end) in your ezquake/ directory and put


This will commence demo playback after the client has been started.

I don't think the demo here in question is neither found on demo directories or a mvd. I would guess it's in some .pak unless nQuake has modified them

cl_onload playdemo demo1.dem perhaps?

Yes, there are 3 demos in the original pak0.pak demo1.dem, demo2.dem and demo3.dem .
