*** Quake Army Knife ***

**with full HEXEN II support and full QUAKE 2 support**


This is a level/patch/Model/etc editor for Quake, the game by ID Software.
This file is an introduction to Quake Army Knife. Please have a look at it
if you don't know it. Note that Quake Army Knife is based on QuakeMap.

A good introduction to Quake Army Knife's features, with screen shots and
all that kind of things, as well as infos on the latest Quake Army Knife
updates and other Quake Army Knife odd-ons is available at Derrick's Home
Page, as well as on-line documentation :

(note: it's Shareware, please see file REGISTER.TXT)


 *** Requirements ***

Target Quake version : from 0.91 to 1.xx REGISTERED ; QuakeWorld; GLQuake.
Target Hexen II version : any, but REGISTERED; GL Hexen II.
Target Quake 2 version : any, but REGISTERED.

The QBSP, VIS and LIGHT utilities from id Software are required to
"nodebuild" maps, i.e. to prepare them in order to play to Quake in them.

Using a more recent version of QBSP than id's first one is recommended.
Try out the one recommended in file FAQ.TXT, for example.
For Hexen II or Quake 2, see file FAQ.TXT, too.

Estimated Hardware/Software Requirements:
- 486DX2/66 or better processor - anything that can run Quake at all
- 16mb RAM
-  2mb Hard Drive Space for QuArK
- Windows 95 or NT, any version
- Registered version of Quake or Hexen II
These are estimates based on limited testing.


 *** Installation ***

Just unzip all the files in whatever directory you want. I recommend creating a
new directory, named for example "QuArK", and unzipping the archive there.
You will be asked when required where Quake is. You don't have to put QBsp, Vis
and Light in the same directory as QuArK; if they are elsewhere, QuArK will
ask you where.
