AfterQuake is a Quake package, similar to QuakeWorld's nQuake, ClassicQ, or even Quake's Epsilon Mod. It was launched at the QuakeExpo 2016 (QEXPO2016) event. Link to announcement.It is a combination of the FTE engine (source port or client) and community-made content packages.
It supports both Quake (singleplayer) and QuakeWorld (multiplayer).

The goal of AfterQuake is to make FTE easier to use. And why this is relevant? Because FTE is simply the most advanced Quake client - it supports everything! - and it will change the way you look at this game.
This page is about AfterQuake only.
Visit FTE wiki page for a more extensive list of features.

- Where can I download the original Quake? Quake pak1.pak) but we cannot supply a download link for copyright reasons. ID software is still selling the game on their website for $20. You need pak0.pak and pak1.pak with the original levels, and then you most likely want the JoeQuake. Please watch entire video and read comments before posting question.

For singleplayer, you can use the QuakeInjector plugin to download a plethora of singleplayer maps and mods hosted by Quaddicted. Note that you will need the full version of Quake for this to work properly.
Quake Mods
Its super-duper compatible with any Quake modification you try. Install them normally, then use /gamedir ingame command to change between mods on the fly. Above there's a screenshot of FTE running a mod.
Multi Player
You will find a plethora of public servers running on the internet inside the built-in server browser. Both NQ and QW servers will be listed.

Downloads
Mod releases need engine to play, engine can run other mods and does not run darkplaces mod by default. See Quick Guide To The Mod below. All builds of anything include source.Please read the ReadMe for additional information.
Other files
Beta releases, old versions, and miscellaneous mods I made are in the files directory, this page only lists current versions of darkplaces and some utilities.You can also find a lot of old fun Quake stuff on idgames2 mirrors, there's a full one over at mancubus.net.

Quake art enhancement projects
Rygel's 2.7GB ultra pack (Rygel's 2.7GB ultra quality texture pack, ready to drop into a quake gamedir such as id1, or grab the 900MB high quality version here which loads much faster and is usable on video cards with less than 1GB video ram.Quake Retexture/Remodel Project (maintained by Up2nOgOoD[ROCK] as primarily a QuakeWorld content replacement project, difficult to install on DarkPlaces, formerly known as the QE1M1/QE1 project made famous by Tenebrae).
Romi's rtlights file for Quake (rtlights pack for Quake - drop this file in your id1 directory to get improved performance in all id1 maps when using Realtime World Lighting in the options menu)
Romi's rtlights file for Quake mission pack 1 (rtlights pack for Scourge of Armagon - by Ritual Entertainment, formerly known as Hipnotic Entertainment)
Various utilities
hmap2 build 20121222 useful for compiling maps with colored lighting, rotating doors, and lots of other features, check out the readme, extremely high limits (if map really is too complex for quake limits it will write BSP2 format for use in darkplaces)dpmaster 2.2 DarkPlaces, Quake3, Return To Castle Wolfenstein, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, and QFusion master server program written by Mathieu Olivier, supported by the net_inetslist command in darkplaces as well as the menu (lists all servers that have sv_public 1 set, if they are using the master servers you are using), includes windows executable as well as source code which compiles on Linux and BSD.
lmp2pcx build 20070412 converts every .lmp, .mip and .wad file in the current directory to .pcx, .tga, .lmp, and .mip files
lhfire build 20070412 particle effect renderer used for the explosions, plasma shots, and other sprites in the mod, can make .spr, .spr32, and .tga output, read the included scripting info for use
setgamma 1.1 (Windows only) commandline gamma tweaking utility for whatever uses one can imagine, has special support for 3DFX voodoo1/2 addon cards
md3 model tool and makesp2 build 20070412 modeltool is useful for renaming shaders within an md3 model, and changing the flags value to add trail flags like 1 for rocket, 2 for grenade, 4 for gib, 8 for rotating pickup item, etc - for more flags search for EF_ROCKET in protocol.h and read the other values, makesp2 makes a quake2 .sp2 sprite file (which does not include images) given commandline options (does not access the images, the dimensions can be completely different)
.dpm and .md3 model compiler utility for mod developers reads a .txt script listing .smd files to compile into a .dpm model file and .md3 model file, see included documentation for example script and documentation, smd is produced by Half-Life(tm) 1/2 model exporters available for some 3D modeling programs, it is a skeletal model format
.dpm model viewer utility for mod developers displays a .dpm model with texturing, allows you to view animations and rotate the model, but not much else
.tga alpha fixer this program can fix broken tga images written by certain paint programs such as Paint Shop Pro(r), this repairs transparent images that do not appear transparent in darkplaces, and clears unused palette information in truecolor images
Patches for broken mods
bugfixed TargetQuake this is a full version (not a patch) of the famous platform game TargetQuake fixed up to work properly in DarkPlaces engine, many bugs fixed, mostly to do with setmodel being called without setsizebugfix patch for X-Men: Ravages of Apocalypse this is a bugfix patch for the formerly commercial Quake total conversion X-Men: Ravages of Apocalypse, it fixes many stupid bugs in the qc code, mostly related to setmodel being called without setsize, however it does not magically turn it into a good game :)
Other things LadyHavoc made or worked on
Alien Infestation speedmod from QuakeExpo 2006 a speedmod with a custom map using the models provided in the speedmod theme, alien eggs (which spawn even in deathmatch) on the ceiling drop facehugger-like critters, and also watch out for the security droids.dlit files for id1 maps this pk3 allows you to use bumpmapped/glossmapped wall textures without turning on realtime world lighting, requires OpenGL Shading Language capable card, such as GeForceFX 5200 or above or Radeon 9500 or above, note: this pack does not have colored lighting, it is simply hmap2 -relight done on each map
quake 1.06 qc source this is just the quake 1.06 qc source, a decent starting point for making new mods, simply unzip to quake/mymod/qc/ and edit to taste, use frikqcc or fteqcc to compile the code, you can find those with a web search
quake 1.06 qc source without singleplayer same as the above source in every way except lacking monster code and everything associated with it, preserves all features in deathmatch, this may be a better starting point for multiplayer-only mods
Quake Deathmatch Revelation experimental deathmatch mod this is an experimental mod testing out some modifications to standard Quake deathmatch: ammo, health, and armor regenerate, you hear a noise when you do damage to another player, explosions have a larger splash radius but do less damage for splash, no items spawn, and the weapons are rebalanced to be more equal to eachother
Rocket Symphony experimental deathmatch mod from QuakeExpo 2004 this mod is played from an overhead perspective and replaces all the quake weapons with various forms of rocket launcher, firing in many different shot patterns, including spiral attacks, it is inspired by the boss battles in the vertical shooter game Ikaruga(r), and is meant to simulate dueling bosses, but it needs a very wide open map with a large flat floor, dpdm2 sort of works for this purpose, but I'd appreciate if someone made a better map for this mod
Nexuiz completely open source online deathmatch game using the DarkPlaces engine, does not require Quake
Maps (some included in darkplaces mod, but are playable without it)
dpdm1 a very small and brutal deathmatch map.dpdm2 a very large in-progress deathmatch map.
LadyHavoc's old maps a collection of old maps (not DarkPlaces related) by LadyHavoc: ctfgold8 lhca1 lhdm4 metlhell rampcity
entitytest.bsp test map testing map created years ago to test a report of darkplaces crashing when too many nailgun models were on screen, never found the crash, but this is kind of an interesting test map as it has a moving sky brush which gives most engines a heartattack, and demonstrates large colored flashing lights, warning: there's a lone fiend in this map in singleplayer
cavetest2.bsp testing map created years ago to push the limits of the q1bsp nearly to the point of breaking, crashes most engines at load, runs poorly, has over 26000 surfaces and over 10000 leafs in a single room, and it is fully vised (which actually didn't take that long) and lit, but barely playable, warning: in singleplayer this is nearly packed wall to wall with monsters, plays better in deathmatch
Example stuff for engine and mod developers
sv_user.qc for mod developers direct port of player physics code from engine to QC (this code is called by darkplaces engine if found, allowing great flexibility), highly optimized and more readable, no behavior changes, modify this for your own mods and enjoy.lit colored lighting data support tutorial for engine coders all changes commented with LadyHavoc, changes engine to use RGB colored lighting internally, supports static (.lit) colored lighting and dynamic, models are properly lit in color as well
particle font texture for mod developers example image to start with when customizing particle textures, be sure to keep directories when extracting to your mod directory
Quick Guide To dpmod
darkplaces -game dpmod
You can change video modes and quality settings using the options menus
Note: Video settings are saved to config per -game.
To play the mod either start a singleplayer game and play through normal quake levels, or try these examples:
dpdm2 with deathmatch 7 (monsters in deathmatch) example to type in the console: deathmatch 7
Multiplayer connections work through NAT routers, to host a server behind NAT, please set your NAT router to forward port 26000 UDP to your machine, and everyone should be able to connect to your server then, also use sv_public 1 if you want it to show up on the server browser (LAN searching is not implemented yet).
map dpdm2
How to play against bots in multiplayer: deathmatch 1
map dpdm1
bots 3
The bots work in any simple quake map (they don't understand liquids, doors, lifts, etc) as long as there are enough item spawn points to navigate by, or if the map has waypoints.
Since people don't seem to read the ingame instructions (dphelp in console), +button3 is the altfire on weapons, +button4 is zoom, +button5 is grapple in deathmatch.
Cvars in dpmod (all of these take effect immediately):bots [number]
adds bots to the game, set back to 0 to remove them.spawnmonsters [number]
creates the specified number of monsters in multiplayer game modes (useful for CTF with monsters thrown in the mix, or you can play deathmatch 7 instead). (note: won't take effect during a level if it was 0 when the level began, as the monsters aren't loaded)damagescale_playerdamage [number]
multiplies damage done by players, so for example 0.5 would be half damage, and 4 would be quad damage.damagescale_monsterdamage [number]
multiplies damage done by monsters, so for example 0.5 would be half damage, and 4 would be quad damage.damagescale_monsterhealth [number]
multiplies health of monsters, so for example 0.5 would be half health, and 4 would be quad health. (fun for coop or just a harder deathmatch 7)
Parts of DarkPlaces mod that were made by Tomaz (thanks Tomaz!)
Shell casing model and other casingsWeapon models updated (offset to side and muzzleflash removed)
Parts of DarkPlaces mod that were 'scavenged' from other mods
Visible weapon player models from Quake Done Quicker (which took them from Deathmatch Essentials)Flag model from Threewave CTF (what's Capture The Flag without the authentic Threewave flags?)
Plasma gun sounds from Nelno's Plasma Gun mod (although he ripped them from DOOM, of course)
Burning sounds (sound/fire/launch.wav and sound/fire/burn.wav - ripped from Ultimate Quake, launch.wav is not currently used)
Flag pickup and capture sounds from Threewave CTF
Foot step sounds from Quake: Scourge of Armagon (mission pack 1, not used in it however... I doubt Ritual Entertainment minds me using them)
Of course, if anyone of the above mentioned mod teams or companies wishs me to remove something, I will immediately remove it and try to find a replacement.
All other parts are either scavenged (and modified) from the classic quake files, or are completely my own work.
