To install

Simply unzip to a new directory (e.g. 'gtaq') inside Quake.
Then, launch the game and bind the following aliases (defined in autoexec.cfg):

+gtaq_forward
-gtaq_forward
Bind +gtaq_forward to your usual forward key, and it will operate player and car movement
+gtaq_back
-gtaq_back
Ditto, bind for both player & car movement
+gtaq_left
-gtaq_left
Ditto again
+gtaq_right
-gtaq_right
Ditto again
gtaq_useUse an item; IIRC the only use so far is getting in/out of cars
gtaq_statsDisplay some stats about yourself

The gang system

You are able to join gangs by walking into one of their recruitment centres; in gq_test2 these are underneath the big blocks of earth you see floating above the ground. You will then be able to take over 'free' sections of territory; see the supplied demos for more info.

Other

  • Space (i.e. jump) *should* work as the handbrake, but don't expect to be able to pull great skids quite yet. It will also allow you to hover the helicopter - keep it held down and you will be able to turn to face any direction without moving.
  • If someone steals a car which you've stuck a bomb in, then it explodes when they enter.
  • It helps if you use 'deathmatch 1' when you play, otherwise dieing will reload the level.
  • Also you may need to use '-winmem 16', '-winmem 32', etc. when you launch if it keeps crashing/running slowly.
  • To get in a car, get as close as you can to a door then press the use key.
  • At the moment, all the cars handle exactly the same.
  • Getting caught in a ped/car spawn point while in a car will get you killed.
  • You can't (yet) pickup powerups, runes or keys while in cars.
  • The key slots are now taken up by weapons, so will work as each other in SP games (Pick up a key -> get a weapon. Unlock a door -> lose a wepaon).
