Nehahra Quake


  1. Get Quake on Steam (the first one, NOT Quake 2, 3, or 4)
  2. Get the latest version of Darkplaces
  3. Get Nehahra Full
  4. Get The Seal of Nehahra
The game has an OPTIONAL  4 hour movie that creates a storyline for Quake One's singleplayer and then ties it togather with the 10 min opening cutscene to Nehahra.

The Nehahra Quake Project (often mistyped as Nehara Quake) is the biggest and best of the singleplayer and co-op mods for Quake One. Made 3 years after Team Fortress 1 this Singleplayer expansion to quake is far better than any of the official mission packs.

The first and foremost thing to remark about the game (besides it's amazing story when compared to games of it's time) is the difficulty. The game on EASY is more or less the same as regular Quake One on HARD. That said, the Nightmare skill for Nehahra lives up to it's namesake and will likely have you die repeatedly.

The design is smart. What do I mean by that? They give you opportunities to learn many of the mechanics (like pushing boxes and barrels) prior to requiring these mechanics to survive. Some of it is very subtle to the point you won't even notice it happening and that is good game design.

I highly recommend everyone try this on Nightmare in Co-Op with at least one other player; it's extremely fun and challenging.

Nehahra was made for regular quake, not Quakeworld, but can use the Darkplaces engine to enhance your online experience should you choose to play in Co-Op. By default the game expects you to run a special program file called nehahra.exe but you should download the latest Darkplaces file instead and use that.

Installation

1 - Install Quake
2 - Install Darkplaces into the Quake Folder
3 - Install Nehahra Full into the Quake Folder.
4 - Install The Seal of Nehahra into the Quake Folder. (YES Overwrite any files when asked.)

Inside your Quake Folder there should now be several new program files as well as a Nehahra folder.

5 - Open up notepad.
6 - Paste in the following line:
darkplaces.exe -nehahra -game nehahra

7- Go to "Save As", in the Save as File type box, change it from Text Documents to All Files.
8 - name the file nehquake.bat and save it into the quake folder

How to Play

1 - Go to your Quake Folder, double click on Nehquake.bat

This will run the Darkplaces Engine in Nehahra Mode (special engine features), using the Nehahra game (instead of ID1 which is standard quake).

2 - Go to Single Player, New Game
3 - You are in game! Choose your difficulty level, choose wisely as EASY is like normal Quake's HARD, and anything harder is insane by normal gamer standards.
4 - Once you start the game a 15 min introduction cutscene will play, then you will gain control of your character.

How to Play Co-Op
(aka ONLINE or LAN WITH FRIENDS)

1 - Make sure all of your friends have installed this properly.
2 - Go to your Quake Folder, double click on Nehquake.bat
3 - Go to Multiplayer, New Game, Set your PORT (More below on that).
4 - Change Game Type from Deathmatch to Cooperative
(NOTE: Nehahra does NOT support deathmatch, so if you try to make a Deathmatch Nehahra server without massive tweaks to the levels, things will get SCREWY.)
5 - Teamplay On
(NOTE: Teams are defined by the pants color, all players of the same pants color will not be able to friendly fire each other. You can change pants color in Player Setup under Multiplayer)
6 - Skill Anything you want but for Co-Op I EXTREMELY recommend NIGHTMARE.
7 - Frag Limit and Time Limit should both be NONE.
8 - Public Server on if you want random people to see it on the server list, otherwise off.
9 - Server maxrate (Don't mess with this unless you know what it means) 1000000 is default.
10 - Server Name, whatever you want.
11 - IMPORTANT: SKIP THE WELCOME LEVEL FOR CO-OP, start on

12 - Have any friends run the game and then go to Multiplayer, Join Game, Make sure the PORT is the same as yours, and connect to your IP address.

Q: Friends can't connect to my sever!
A: Is your router configured to have the port your server is on open?
Q: I don't have access to my router to fix it! What do I do?
A: If you are one of these sad individuals, then you and all your friends will have to resort to using a program like Hamachi in order to host and join servers. I will not be providing information on how to do this.
