Step 1. Download and install Quake Shareware, or obtain Quake from Steam. Quake should download into your steam directory. Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Quake. If you already own quake ignore step 1.

Step 2. Download and unzip MegaTF into your Quake folder.

Step 3. Download and unzip ezQuake into your Quake folder. ezQuake replaces the old QWCL.exe as your Quake Client. Other modern QuakeWorld Clients exist, which you may use at your discretion, but we highly recommend ezQuake.

Step 4. Setup your Configs

Step 5. Launch "ezquake.exe" in your Quake folder to play! Use the server-browser to find a TeamFortress game near you! Or find a server at Active Servers or quakeservers.net and connect manually from the console.


Tip: Run your ezquake graphics on "eyecandy" for a graphical upgrade! Also visit the Graphical Replacements page for high quality texture replacements.


Optional:

TeamFortress servers will download maps, models, sounds and other files to you as you need them on a case-by-case basis. However, there are some files servers do not distribute when you join.

The TFMegaPack (95MB) contains optional files that you WON'T get automatically from a server for colored lighting (.lit), location data (.loc), skyboxes, and high-res textures.

Sometimes, a server may be missing a file - or you may just want to save yourself the wait time and get to fragging. In which case, download:

TFMegaPack XL (180MB) - All of TFMegaPack, plus the most common maps and add-on files.

TFMegaPack XXL (640MB) - All of TFMegaPack_XL, plus a TON of maps and everything else.
