FTEDroid is a port of FTE and is also created by Spike. It's a QuakeWorld client for Android devices. Keep in mind it's still under development and it is buggy. IMG-20131206-WA0002.jpg

Features

  • Different areas of the touchscreen are used to different binds. For example, to change weapon, simply press on its position on the hud;
  • opens QuakeTV links;

Installation Instructions

  • If you haven't done it yet, under Settings, allow non marketplace apps to be installed, or apps from unknown sources;
  • Download this to your phone (the .apk is updated regularly). Install it.
  • Now connect your phone to your pc and copy pak0.pak and pak1.pak to the phone memory in /fte/id1/ folder.

Usage

If the console text size is too small, use the command vid_conautoscale 4. If it's too dark, use gl_contrast 1.3 and gl_brightness. gl_gamma doesn't work.
How to spectate QuakeTV streams:

  • visit http://qtv.quakeworld.nu/ with the phone’s browser;
  • click on a ‘watch’ link;
  • It asks which app should open the link. Choose FTEDroid;

FTEDroid should launch and connect to the stream automatically.

Default binds:

  • volume keys to +showteamscores,
  • the left and right area of the screen to +jump and +fire (mouse1 and mouse2 binds).
  • Use the MENU key to toggle the console, and the on screen keyboard to type on it.


Settings will be automatically saved. Use the BACK key to navigate.

Known issues

  • URLs opened with Opera browser don't work;
  • users with swiftkey app reported not being able to use the onscreen keyboard to type in the console. Disable swiftkey.
  • after a match ends, it disconnects from the stream - this is actually a [mvdsv] bug
