Quick Help
This section will be a quick reference for beginners
and people who don't want to know how the name
works, just how to make it work. Here are the
steps:
| 1. |
Highlight the text in the "Your name" text box (see fig. 1) and
go to the Edit menu in the browser and select
"Copy" [Ctrl-C also copies].
|

| 2. |
Open your favorite text editor [Notepad, Wordpad are
examples] and go to the Edit menu and select
"Paste" [Ctrl-V also pastes].
|
| 3. |
Surround the group of characters with quotation marks and
type the word "name" in front of them. What you have
should look something like fig. 2.

| 4. |
Select "Save As" from the File menu of the text editor
and find your quake directory [usually, it's C:\QUAKE\
- see fig. 3]. Then select the "ID1" directory inside of it.
Change "Save as type:" to "All files (*.*)".
Type "name" in the "File name" text box and press "Save".

| 5. |
Start Quake. Open up the console [press the ~ key next to
the 1 on your keyboard], and type "exec name.txt". You
should see "execing name.txt", as in fig. 4. If you
see "couldn't exec name.txt" then go back to step 1 and
try again.

Then that's it! Every time you play, you must "exec" the name
file, but it will work. If you want to know better (but more
difficult ways) to get a name to work, read the
complete help section* (*unavailable).
