I have NEVER gotten original GL quake to run at any resoulution besides the standard 640X480X16 that it starts in. I want to see it run at 1024X768X32 but cant figure how the heck you do it. I have created a shortcut and changed the properties and everything I could think of but no go =( SO I am praying one of you classic Gamers will have the cure for me I want to see some good reslution quake for old times sake. Can any help?
 
oh damn that's a long time ago... did you try
Code:
-width 1024 -height 768
on the command line? I can't really add much more than that, other than try vid_describemode on the console, see what comes up...
And I'm not 100% sure, but I think Quake only does 16bit color (which was a hell of a lot when the game was mainstream)...
 
Try this:

glquake -width 1024 -height 768 -bpp 32

I recall its also fussy about what your desktop color depth is.
 
shortcut off your .exe then add [ after .exe] -mode 12 [or upto 27
for 1280/1024 32bp]. make sure you have a space between .exe and -mode
12.Oh this is in the comandline. Also try gl_quake 1.13!!! it has FOG!
 
OK mode works but causes error

OK mode works but causes error

OK now I remember another reason why I have never got Quake to work at other resolutions. Every time I changed the mode IT did work and wanted to run in that size but it causes an error in the exe and wont run. This is so wierd and makes me sad =( anyways if u have any ideas still that would be great. Also where do you get GLQuake 113? this is the exact message also by the way.
GLquake has caused an error in GLquake exe. Glquake will now close. I have a p4 1.4 running a radeon 8500 if that helps also. Thanks all u r so cool =)
 
hello again. i would reinstall quake [1.01 or 1.06] say NO to the 3dfx mini ogl driver! then install GL_1.09 [97 ver.] Besure to disable
PageFliping in your display Ogl props [or tweaker]. then make a shortcut of the EXE and add [after the exe in the comandline] -mode 12
 
How do I say No to the 3dfx driver?

How do I say No to the 3dfx driver?

I totally uninstalled quake and reinstalled it. I downloaded and installed 113. How do I say no to the 3dfx driver? I had to rename the opengl.dll to glide2.dll. So u r now saying i go download and install gl quake version 1.09. then disable the page flipping? Sorry I am such a shmo =( Thanks for all the help though u r da man. =)
 
IT LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEEE HAAW! I altered the 113 shortcuts and hot dang it works. Looks mighty dang good =) I like playing the mirror of quake without all the enables of the actual 113 version, the fog is a bit much but does add some life. In the mirror version having bump map enabled goofs up some textures so I had to turn it off. Thanks so incredibly much. You really are Da Man!
 
great! the pagefliping in the display propertys ogl tab
hard locks my rig!! in quake1 the fog can be diffrent colors too.
