System Requirements
All Military Forces requires to run is any system that can run Quake3. However, we recommend playing with a computer that has at least a GeForce/Radeon or better 3D graphics card, with 16+ MB Video RAM to get the best possible experience of the game. In short, though, anything that plays Quake3 well (preferably with a good framerate - over 40fps), should have no problem running Military Forces. Also, you will need to be using the latest Quake3 Point Release from ID Software. Military Forces will only run if the 1.27 or greater Point Release has been installed. You can download the latest point releases from the relevant section at http://www.planetquake.com/quake3/files.shtml. Note: Because of the nature of Military Forces, it will run better when more memory is assigned to Quake3. This can be done with the com_hunkmegs command. Installation
Installing MFQ3 is simple. The main zip package for Military Forces should contain the following files.
If you are missing any of the above, you should go to the MFQ3 Website and download the full package from the Downloads page. To play Military Forces, you need to put all of the above files into a mfq3 folder under your main Quake3 folder. For example, if Quake3 is in the folder C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\ then the above files need to be in the directory C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\mfq3\. Running Military Forces
Start Quake3 as you normally would. On the main menu, click on Mods. In the list, there should be an item called Military Forces. Make sure this is selected, then click Load. In a few seconds, the main MFQ3 menu should be loaded. To make it easier to run Military Forces in Windows, it may be best to set up a shortcut that links to it:
Now, every time you run the shortcut it will load Military Forces. You may wish to put this shortcut on your desktop or in your start menu. |
