Bunnyhop and strafe tutorial

This video was recorded in QuakeWorld. The physics are not the same as vanilla Quake but the general principles remain the same. For more advanced movement, check out the power bunnyhopping tutorial by Elgu.

Setting up Quake

Download Quake
http://quake.speeddemosarchive.com/quake/downloads.html
Download quake-light or quake-large. Quake-large has a list of iD records and a ton of custom maps.
Both of them have WinQuake and JoeQuake in them. WinQuake is the original game and you can run on it if you want. I recommend using JoeQuake. It's the only accepted sourceport of Quake for running. If you're running on Windows XP or higher remember to run on the gl versions. They run way better and look better.

If you're running JoeQuake download the updated version here http://joequake.runecentral.com/downloads.html .
You also want to download the latest qdqstats from http://quake.speeddemosarchive.com/quake/downloads.html
They both should include text files how to get them running.

Configure Quake
When launching Quake you might want to have some options enabled. Create a shortcut and right click it and go to properties.
To change some settings you need to add them to the shortcut target. Mine looks like this:
D:\quake-light\joequake-gl.exe -window -bpp 16 -noforcemparms -noforcemaccel -game qdqstats18 -width 1280

-window
this makes the game run on windowed mode

-bpp
this sets the bits per pixel. You can set it to 32 if you want

-noforcemparms -noforcemaccel
Disable the forcing of mouse parameters on startup and disable mouse acceleration.

-game
This selects the game folder. Use qdqstats18.

-width
sets the width of the window.
-height
sets the height of the window. You don't need this if you're running 4:3

Autoexec and Config.cfg
id1 folder in quake-light/large has some .cfg files from other players. I recommend testing them out and modifying for your liking.
To try out a config rename it to config.cfg and put it in your game folder.
Stubgaard's cfg is really well made, recommend trying that first. 

Autoexec will exec every time you open Quake.
To make one go to your joequake folder and make a file and name it to autoexec.cfg
Some commands I recommend putting there:
+speed //makes you go fast
+mlook //for mouse look.
show_fps 1 //makes your fps visible in-game.
fov 110 //sets your fov. Use anything you want.
cvar_savevars 2 //makes the game save your settings upon quitting the game.
unbind KP_MINUS
unbind KP_PLUS //you can unbind default keys this way. These would normally control volume.

Quake options menu has some useful options so check them out. Also make sure you have your "use mouse" set to "on".

That's it. You should be able to start running Quake!

Setting up Quake (2020) - by Stubgaard

This guide was written by Thomas Stubgaard and is included as a .txt in the quake-light/large .zips on SDA. Consider it an updated version of Elgu's guide from 2015 which can also be found on here.
-------------------------------------
DOWNLOAD QUAKE
- https://quake.speeddemosarchive.com/quake/downloads.html
  - Download "quake-light.zip" or "quake-large.zip".
  - Quake-large has demos of all the ID records, both official mission packs, a ton of custom maps, and some nifty tools.
  - Quake-light doesn't contain all the custom maps, custom progs, and the tools (Dzip is the exception).
    - You can find all those at: https://quake.speeddemosarchive.com/quake/
  - Both downloads come with JoeQuake v0.16.2 build 6320. It's the only accepted sourceport of Quake for speedrunning apart from the original GL/Win/MacQuake of course.
    - Check to see if you have the latest version of JoeQuake by going here: http://joequake.runecentral.com/downloads.html
  - Both downloads contain the latest version of QdQstats (v1.8)
    - QdQStats is a Quake progs.dat that adds a bunch of things for speedrunners:
      - It prints a more accurate time at the end of your demo.
      - It fixes known problems with levels where you can't get 100% kills.
      - It adds a grenade counter and trigger info.
      - And lots of other neat stuff which you can read about in the qdqstats.txt file that is located in the "id1" folder.
      - But most importantly, demos submitted to SDA are required to be recorded with QdQstats.

- Tools included are:
  - compile (-)
  - convdem (conversion/validation tool for .dem files)
  - demarathon (compiles marathon .dem files into "paks")
  - dempacker (.dem packer utility)
  - demtool (.dem editing tool)
  - ifix (repair broken intermission views)
  - pakexplorer (browser for "pak" files)
  - dzip (demo compression program)

CONFIGURING QUAKE
- When launching Quake you might want to have some options enabled.
- Create a shortcut and right click it and go to properties.
- To change some settings you need to add them to the shortcut target. It could look something like this:
  - D:\quake-large\joequake-gl.exe +map start -game hipnotic
    - Using "+map start" makes the game automatically load with the start map in Quake.
    - Using "-game" selects the game folder if needed. If you want to run the Hipnotic maps forexample, you'd want to use -game hipnotic
    - Most maps on SDA (including the original ID maps) doesn't require for you to set -game in the command line.
    - Here's a list of the maps on SDA that DOES require -game to be set:
      - 136 (old SDA contest map)
      - alk07
      - bbelief
      - black
      - cda
      - csa
      - czg07
      - digs01
      - dopa
      - fmb100
      - hipnotic
      - htr (old SDA contest map)
      - jzblue
      - mexx8
      - mexx9
      - mexx10
      - n3sp03
      - ogitrev (old SDA contest map)
      - pg
      - prodigy
      - rde
      - rogue
      - shadow
      - skarena (old SDA contest map)
      - zerstorer

- Both downloads contain custom prog files for Cheated (cq), Naked (qdnstats), and Careful (careful) versions of Quake.
  - use "-game cq" or "-game qdnstats" or "-game careful" in the shortcut target to enable these specific game modes.

- Check the JoeQuake/Doc folder for additional settings.

AUTOEXEC & CONFIG.CFG
- The "id1" folder in both downloads has some .cfg files from other players. Test them out and modify them for your own liking.
- To try out a config, rename it to config.cfg and put it in your game folder.
  - These are the configs included:
    - basic.cfg (a basic config for the casual player)
    - chambers.cfg (Ryan "Chambers" Moore)
    - ivan.cfg (Ivan Marinov "JMad" Vladev)
    - lagdotcom.cfg (Paul "lagdotcom" Davies)
    - mandel.cfg (Mathias "mandel" Thore)
    - praskoo.cfg (Petar "Prask0o" P.)
    - sphere.cfg (Sphere)
    - stubgaard.cfg (Thomas "Stubby" Stubgaard)
    - timo.cfg (Timo Nieminen)
