'''AfterQuake''' is a Quake package, similar to QuakeWorld's [[nQuake]], [[ClassicQ]], or even Quake's Epsilon Mod. It was launched at the QuakeExpo 2016 (QEXPO2016) event. [https://qexpo2016.com/introducing-afterquake/ Link to announcement].
 
It is a combination of the [[FTE]] engine (source port or client) and community-made content packages. '''It supports both Quake (singleplayer) and QuakeWorld (multiplayer).'''

The '''goal of AfterQuake is to make [[FTE]] easier to use.''' And why this is relevant? Because [[FTE]] is simply the most advanced Quake source port - it supports everything! - and it will change the way you look at this game.
 
This page is about AfterQuake only. '''Visit [[FTE]] wiki page for a more extensive list of features'''.
 
 
==Installation==
 
Download the zip file (link below) and extract to an empty folder (e.g. ''c:\afterQuake''). Then copy from your original Quake directory the following files:
 
* /id1/pak0.pak
 
* /id1/pak1.pak
 
to the corresponding folder in your afterQuake folder.
 
 
You can now execute the [[FTE]] executable. But continue reading...
 
 
===Step by step===
 
When you first start, you will be presented with the downloads menu. Choose flavor:
 
* '''AfterQuake Minimum''' - the base package
 
* '''AfterQuake Slim''' - The base package with some graphical updates
 
* '''AfterQuake Full''' - higher quality textures, models, etc
 
 
Click apply. The packages to download are listed. Confirm. Once the downloads finish, you're ready to play!
 
 
==Contents==
 
What do the packages include?
 
* redesigned main menu,
 
* example configs,
 
* custom aliases, for your convenience (/list*, etc)
 
* Vised maps
 
* amazing particle configs (fully editable),
 
* realtime lights,
 
* high resolution textures,
 
much more...
 
'''Most packages can be enabled or disabled on the fly without needing to redownload.'''
 
 
The downloads menu can be accessed later via the menus, or simply via the ''/menu_downloads'' console command.
 
 
 
Some content isn't included on purpose, because of copyright issues. For example:
 
* Mindgrid's high Quality audio
 
* Quake's Official Soundtrack

These and all other paks or modifications '''can be installed in AfterQuake the same way as any other engine.'''
