Func_Msgboard: QuakeDroid - Quake For Android

Posted by Baker on 2018/03/30 19:16:08

QuakeDroid is Android Quake that should run on any Android phone made in the last 5-6 years, but has only been tested on 2 phones (one 32-bit, one 64-bit).

http://quakeone.com/quakedroid

Designed to have controls similar to popular mobile games (/cough Minecraft). Went deep on the documentation to try to empower the user.

Does not require Quake to install, it downloads Quake shareware on startup.

* How to put your TrenchBroom/J.A.C.K map on your phone
* Where is your Quake folder?
* Difference between shareware vs. registered Quake
* Put registered Quake pak1.pak from Steam/GOG on your phone
* How to set a startup command line.

The menu has 2 methods of navigation, you can touch items like "Single Player" or manually slide the volume slider bar or use the menu nav buttons.

* Tap-fire (double tap on an Ogre to shoot it)
* Drag-look (like Minecraft)

Worked right away on my redmi note 3 (64-bit arm) and mi note2 (x86_64 tablet). It's software rendered!

Two control suggestions:
- if you hold the "move forward" touch area and tap the "jump" button, you stop moving forward.
- currently if you press the "move forward" onscreen button and move your finger to the "move back" area, without lifting it up, it keeps walking forward

I had to touch hold the links and open in a new tab or else it is just black. FYI.

Works On My S7!!

@ericw - I'll check that out. Never noticed during testing. This has been tested to death on the 2 phones available. (With tons and tons and tons of coop played). It has also been refined to death, but I can think of some more refinements.

@pulsar - I haven't had time to add Sepulcher support yet. But it is on my list. Now that I have this big project out (it's a relief, I hate have major modifications on my hard drive) --- I can focus on things like that.

@dumptruck_ds - I think you'll love it. ;-)
@QMaster - Thanks! My worst fear is that I have had only 2 devices available for testing and Android is a diverse ecosystem.
