Multiplayer Quake V1.1

Hi All

Here is the latest build of the multiplayer support version of Quake, in this build it has the following additions:
- Infrastructure mode added
- Adhoc & Infrastructure are now enabled via the network menu
- The access point for infrastructure mode setting is in setup in the network settings
- Hacks to speed up the FPS to enable network versions to have less lag
- Sound support in both adhoc & infrastructure

In order to change the access point that you want to use, just go to the network setup menu and press left or right on the access point box.

Hope you enjoy.

Wow awesome. I think this one might work on 2.0 since there's infrastructure. (I'm not sure if the other one worked on 2.0, but I assumed it didn't since it only used Ah Hoc, and the wifi part of the eboot loader sounds like it only loads infrastructure setting, but I'm not positive.) I'll try it out on 2.0 as soon as possible.

Honestly I love your advancements I think the important thing here for "Infastructure" to work you need a functional Masterserver

if you wish to talk about solutions for this, I have some for you :D

Jman... HL1 uses a different BSP format, its a mix of Q1,Q2, and Valves tidbits... and dont think you can do the models either... they have to be converted...

There are a number of ways that you can use the infrastructure mode, one is that you have a server on the local network, in which case you can just search and connect to it, or the PSP being a server and the PC connect to it. Another way is two or more PSP's connected to the same access point can play multiplayer (this may be more reliable with more than two PSP's). The only way that you can't do at the moment is connecting to an external server, this is only due to not having an on screen keyboard.

It didn't work on 2.0. I used the untested 1.0 eboot, but I still don't think that's the problem. When I tried it with Eboot Loader v0.9 (the on with wifi), it said "Module attribs 00001000 suggest a kernel-mode app" Oh well, I guess I still can't play a nice homebrew shooter with multiplayer...

i never thought that we would have a fps with wireless multiplayer for the psp!! :D

great job on your work, i see sometime in the future lots of great things to happen... i think that if this keeps on going on like this we might acually seem some type of tounaments and statistics page with ranks!!! this is turning the psp into a mobile frag fest!:D

Does this have the ability to run config.cfg and autoexec.cfg ?

I wonder about having binds, and executing a connect command..

guess i'll try when i get to work.

Awesome. Get it working for 2.0, and get some accessible servers up and this will be one of the best homebrew yet.
January 30th, 2006, 03:00
phazey

Info:Both config.cfg and autoexec.cfg (you'll have to create this) accept being edited and quake will notice the changes.

adding: name "playername" (with quotes) will change your name

changing: crosshair "0" to "crosshair "2" will make aiming a little easier.

both the above are in ID1/config.cfg

I added the command "connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (a random IP of a Q server) to a newly created ID1/autoexec.cfg and it did attempt to connect, but as there was no network mode activated, it errored out -

is there a way to activate infrastructure mode from startup so we can hop onto some servers ?

I'll try to find out what i can - but with the ability to run autoexec.cfg, we can now play with aliases (like one button rocket jump, quick GL switch & fire etc.)

Good job anyways Chris - a welcome piece of homebrew.

This is truly incredible, yet there are some problems which I've found.

On my brother's EUR PSP it works perfectly, however on my JAP it does not work correctly. I'll indicate the problems.

Both our PSP's have been downgraded to 1.50 and have had been applied with 2.01 (via fake firmware changer). On my JAP PSP I have also changed the background.

his PSP - Icon and background on the memory stick are fine
my PSP - Icon and background look dark and unclear

Our PSP's - In multiplayer setup we are unable to configure the names (probably has to be done via the config file).
My PSP - The infastructure mode does not work at all and just flicks on without turning on the wifi.

Any suggestions?

Sweet, Now someone just needs to compile on the Team fortress code on top of quake so we can get TF running on psp. :D

Yes at the moment there is no OSK, so that is the only way at the moment.

Have you chosen the access point in the network setup? If you have I am not sure why this would be the case (although I do not have a 1.0 to test with). Does anything come up in the console about errors as I tried to add some debug statements on failure. Have you tried using adhoc mode to connect the two PSP's just to ensure that works ok?

Not at the moment, I may add that the join host name is added to a variable, that way you will be able to get it to put a default setting in. That way even when the OSK is added you will not need to use it all of the time if you want to reconnect to the server that you last used.

I think i've cracked Internet play. I've just started to play with this, but in theory it should enable us to connect to servers anywhere.

You need to run some sort of Quake Proxy on your home machine, i chose DPROXY Page here

You run this like c:\Dproxy\>dproxy.exe testfile server:port

where server:port is the machine you want to connect to.

On your psp, you enter an alias:

alias connect "connect ip of your windows box
bind TRIANGLE connect

once in quake, you press triangle, and it should connect to your windows machine, which would then connect to the server you chose.

As i said, i've just started to look into this, but who knows, it may work - and someone out there may have a better method or better software.

I'll let all you guys know ;)

Cheers,

K

UPDATE: it works! you dont even need the alias, just search for local games, and with luck, your psp will find your windows 'proxy' and then connect to the server on the internet.

I tested multiplayer on adhoc, everything works fine even w/three people :) And its backward compatable so thats cool. BTW, phazey, DPROXY wont work on any of my comps, it won't even run. Is it becuase it only works on 95 or what?

My first post.... I hope everyone likes it. I will try not to make it too long. I started playing QuakeAdHoc 1.1 when I found the release here about a week ago. I then started a quake server at my house to play on a lan... I am sure a lot of people did this... There was just no competition playing my 6 year old son. Now is a good time to state, I am no programmer, or coder- just a little Ubuntu Linux in my veins about 50% of the time.

After reading some posts of how people got onto some online servers, using proxy servers and all that crap that the average person can't do. I decided that it was too much trouble. I came across a post somewhere(someone let me know who the guy is that said this) that stated: "If only there was a way to activate the infrastructure wifi connection before starting the the autoexec.cfg file.". Well, there is a way to do this! I have modified the pak0.pak and added a psp.cfg file and I can connect to Quake servers! I am also hosting a quake server especially for PSP users within the psp.cfg file(nobody is on it yet).

You must have the pak1.pak file also!

Here is the step by step:

Step 1 - Installing and configuring the psp.cfg and pak0.pak -

Download and extract both files into your ID1 Folder on the PSP.

Then, open psp.cfg with a text editor like notepad. Adjust the control settings to fit your needs... please note every time you use this trick, it will erase your current button configuration, and replace them with the settings stored in psp.cfg(thats why I have my button configuration stored in psp.cfg). Next, move to the bottom of the file and adjust the USER NAME SETTING. It will say "USERNAMEHERE". Replace that with the username you want to be called on the server.

Now, replace your PAK0.PAK with my pak0.pak file in your ID1 folder.
Step 2 - Initializing the wifi and connecting to a Quake server

Once Quake is started, it should read something like this at the bottom of the screen providing everything has been done right up to now:

EXECING CONFIG.CFG
COULDN'T EXEC AUTOEXEC.CFG
3 DEMO(S) IN LOOP
]

If you see this, it should be on the right track. Press "Start" to pull up the "Main" menu. Select "Multiplayer" and then choose "Setup". Choose your settings, like the colors you want and your access point and "Accept Changes" when you are finished. You should be back in the "Multiplayer" menu. Select "Infrastructure" and wait for your PSP to get an IP address. You can check to see you got an ip address by going back into "Setup" and looking at "Hostname". It should have a number in there now. Go back to the "Main" Menu, usually done by pressing "CIRCLE" 2 times. Select "Options". Press "Down" 2 times and your cursor should be on "RESET TO DEFAULTS". Push "CROSS" and you should notice your wifi light blinking, followed by your MS light- thats just your map loading! If it all works out, you should see a stage show up behind your menu! If you don't see the background change, then try again a few more times. I found that a weak wifi signal doesn't always connect on the first attempt. Also, if it does not connect, you can press "CIRCLE" to view the console and see if there are any errors or connections taking place.

Sorry for the long post! Let me know what you think. One last thing... I only have so Much bandwidth... almost a T1, but not quite... can someone host this file for me?

Here is the download link:

EDIT- file is no longer available or needed for online play- read further on in the posts for more info. CLOSE EDIT
Thanks!

Chris, there is a way around using my crappy hack of your system. Could you give me your source code? Yeah, I didn't think you would.. Anyhow, can you email me. I think I have an easy solution for your source that does not involve an OSK...

I have already sorted out the OSK (thanks to McZonk). I am currently just merging with Peter and then once we are happy that everything is working we will release a new combined version.

I may also release an initial version of QuakeWorld next week some time, after I merge the latest changes.

Thats great

First off, let me say it sounds promising and I can't wait for you to release it.

I still think that an additional menu option could be added though, in the same way you added the adhoc and infrastructure options in the multiplayer menu. OSK's are great, but clumsy at best when compared to a real keyboard. I know at the moment it is the best and only option we have for the PSP. What I had in mind doesn't sound too complex in theory, but add a few options for running configs that would be placed in the id1 folder. You could write a quake config- a simple "connect dcemu.com" and have a menu option to execute it. You could write all kinds of commands and execute them at once instead of fumbling with an OSK. Maybe Im wrong, but I know this works based on my little pak0 mod. I just changed the default.cfg in pak0 by adding exec psp.cfg.

Let me know what you think and if it would be a whole lot of trouble to add that into the source.

it's been a long time since I played quake online. I remember QuakeWorld being like a update to Quake, what exactly does it add and what are the advantages of implementing it? Just curious, thanks for all your hard work, Quake is quickly becoming one of the best reasons to own a PSP and stay at 1.5

It was designed for internet play and for connections that had lag. The main reason that I implemented it was because most of the is the same between Quake and QuakeWorld, so I thought that I would give people the choice of which to play online. Also if I can find out a master server that is still working then it will be possible to get a list of servers to connect to, rather than needing to know the IP address all the time.

I would like to thank everyone that made this possible,mainly cswindle, for allowing me to run quake tournaments at my highschool :D . But also gpeters, for running a sever reserved for us psp users :)

BTW, at the time of this posting, I am waiting for someone to play me on peter's server. Will anyone ever get around to doing it?

PSP Quake at GarretPeters.com

Danknugz,
I'll look forward to fragging you. Be sure and bring some friends if you get this to work. Hawkzer got on the other day, but it is not too much fun with 2 people. Maybe I should add some bots? The server has been pretty much empty except for some of my family hopping on it for a game or two. Hopefully it will get a little more popular within the psp homebrew crowd... The server has a 12 person limit and has yet to see more than 5 people at once- none of which were from these forums or the others I posted at. Also, the server is located in the St. Louis area, so just ping garretpeters.com if you want to see what kind of ping you can expect. Good luck with the router.

Be a little more specific. What are you trying to do? It sounds like you haven't even gotten the game to run on your psp at all. Are you trying to join a quake server? Do you have pak0.pak file(shareware)? Do you have pak1.pak(licenced)? Purchase quake or do a google search for the pak1.pak file. As for pak0.pak, you should be able to download that from Id software for free.. Everyone will be able to help you better if you clarify what you have tried already.
Thanks

March 4th, 2006, 07:30
gpeters

Kaboofa, Thanks for the file hosting. It is no longer needed though. I got AdHoc Quake for PSP to connect to a server without the pak0 mod. I now have set of config files for the original quake files that use a menu system to launch various options such as quick-chat menu, for on-the-fly trash talk in pspquake. It also has a multiple server connections menu and stores up to 4 quake servers that are preconfigured to PSP-Quake, IHOC, RuneQuake, and Shareware CTF -that can be connected to by pressing circle, square, cross, and triangle.There are a lot of other controls that make use of hot keys. To save myself bandwidth, I am taking my file off of my server and I recommend you do the same as these configs will use far less bandwidth.

Here is a link to my new method for getting the most out of psp quake. Use the original pak0.pak file now and trash my mod. by using the original pak0, this means this method will support shareware users as well.

Chris, is there a console command I can use to launch the wifi for ad hoc and for infrastructure? for example: +infrastructure (access point) +adhoc

Quake mulitplayer on PSP v2.1 ?

This is all very exciting, but I don't suppose anyone running Quake on a 2.0+ PSP has got multiplayer working yet have they? Infrastructure or otherwise.

WiFi needs kernelmode access which the eloader 0.95 has got right?!

If anyone has any news to the contrary I would love to hear about it.
