How do I install?

1. Go to your quake directory: cd\quake
2. Make a subdirectory for TQ: md target
2. Go to the subdirectory: cd target
3. Put the zip in that subdirectory: copy c:\wherever\tqv1.zip
4. Unzip it: pkunzip tqv1
5. Run Quake with -game (subdirectory name): quake -winmem 16 -game target

How do I play?
Use the numeric keypad to move. Press ctrl to shoot, alt to jump, and shift to cycle weapons. I suggest using the gamepad (>winquake users, type joystick 1 at the console and restart<), the mouse is also an interesting experience (turn off mlook, turn up sensitivity). You probably don't want to use a custom config file for this patch, other than to set your name and colors. Hold down attack and jump to speed up dialogue.

How come maps sometimes reload when they start?
It's the safest way to make sure the difficulty level is set correctly.

When I kill something all this blue stuff comes out. I thought blood was red?
When they die, a monster's life force violently leaves their body. If you get close enough you can steal it and add to your own health.

Why do I see my "armor" going up and down when I shoot?
When you shoot, the number at the bottom left goes up. When you kill, it goes down. If you can get it down to 0, your weapons get better. If it goes over 30, they get worse. The # at the bottom right tells you what level your weapons are currently at.

I can't seem to run up inclines?
Try lowering the screen size. If the framerate is too low some of your commands wont reach the player and he wont accellerate fast enough. If your framerate is TOO low, the game'll break in unpredictible ways. If you still have problems or just prefer playing at a low framerate, type teamplay 1 at the console. This enables a ticdupesque velocity checking.

When I play in GL, targ1m1 and targ1m2 are really slow!
Be sure to use the latest version of glquake, which features gl_subdivide_size. Set that to about 512.

I cant control myself, I'm stuck looking at a player model!
This is a conversion of Quake into two dimensional gameplay. Try Dear Mynx for your self control problems.

Can I move towards the camera or the background?
Which part of "2d" did you not understand?

Why's it so hard?
The difficulty is based on whether or not you pass the Test.

Why's it so easy?
Assumin ya didn't cheat, its cause you're a lot cooler than that last guy.

Why's it hard to cheat?
So you wont give up and cheat the first time you die

Are there secrets??
Well if I told you..

How come there aren't lots of new models and sounds?
A sound/speech pak may eventually come about, I'm stuck on an 8bit sound card at the moment. Models will only happen if TQ catches on and I evolve the patch with Quake2 when its released.

How come there are only 6 levels?
Cause Target Quake only had 1 qc programmer, 1 level designer, 1 graphic artist, and 1 www programmer (cough). Worse yet, they're all the same person.

Why didn't you make this for Quake2 instead?
Had I done that, you wouldn't be playing it now. Besides, who can say if I'll be able to figure out DLLs. They're creepy.

What sort of bugs exist?
One that sorta bugs me that I'll probably track down some day is this door/lift bug where sometimes the lift'll teleport from its end position to the start position, without the inbetween frames. Due no doubt to my awesome acceleration code.. Also, I've seen monsters get stuck way up in the air on shuga's rocks.. if you havent seen targ1m3 that probably sounds pretty strange. If you move forwards then hold up/down, you'll continue to move in that direction. This is on purpose, so you can run and shoot up/down. If people dont like it I'll kill it tho, cause it feels a bit unnatural. You might be able to find a few places where you can use the stuck-correction to slowly "jump" through the ceiling and out into the netherlands.

Is somebody actually asking these questions? They sound canned.
If this were XFiles you'd be given cancer for asking questions like that, and then a bunch of incomprehensible bs would be thrown around to confuse you into not thinking critically about the plot.

HOW TO GET RED KEY ON MAP02!?!?
You'd better ask in #doom.
