Required configuration
cake requires a gfx card that
supports following extensions :
- GL_EXT_compiled_vertex_array
- GL_ARB_multitexture
The
development is made on a AMD 2400+ (512MB DDR) + GeForce 2
GTS.

Download
source code
(26.12.05 - 635 KB)
This archive contains the full source code (windows + linux + freebsd
compatible). The VisualStudio project (versions 6 and .NET) for
windows and a Makefile for linux are included. Linux version
requires a recent version of gcc (successfull compilations have
been tested with gcc 3.2.2 and newer).
win32 release (23.10.05 - 526 KB)
Here is the win32 release. The archive contains the
executable, a default configuration file, the console shader and
required dll's. The best way to "install" cake
consist in copying the
cake.exe and config.ini files (and eventually the required dll's) in quake3 folder. You can also set the quake maps
path in config.ini. Cake can read pk3
files, so you don't need to unzip them.
pak0.zip (47 MB)
If you already posess quake 3 maps, you don't have to download this
file.
This archive contains the 4 maps (q3dm1, q3dm7, q3dm17 et q3tourney2) of
quake 3 demo version. Lot of maps use textures and shaders contained in
this package. Don't unzip this file:
just put it in a directory that is set as path in the config.ini and the engine will
automatically get required ressources from the archive (this is also the
case for pak and pk3 files).
Use the "bsplist" command to know the map names contained in archive.
Look at "Usage" section for more infos.

Usage
Just
put a package (pk3, pak or zip file) in a directory that is
set as path in the config.ini file and run "cake.exe".
Use the console to load maps and change settings.
If you don't know where to find maps, have a look at "planetquake.com".
Of course, you can use maps distributed with quake 3. The "bsplist"
command displays the name of all available maps.
Remark: Some maps use shaders and textures distributed with
quake 3. Thoses files can be found in "pak0.zip" in
the "Download" section.
The most important commands are:
| load |
loads a bsp map (enter "load q3dm1" to load "maps/q3dm1.bsp" map) |
| bsplist |
displays the list of all available maps |
| cmdlist |
displays the list of all available commands |
| varlist |
displays the list of all available variables |
Useful keys are (the keys are defined on a "QWERTZ" keyboard):
| a or "left arrow" |
go left |
| s or "down arrow" |
go back |
| d or "right arrow" |
go right |
| w or "up arrow" |
go forward |
| q or "page down" |
go down |
| e ou "page up" |
go up |
| p |
go to next start pos |
| t |
toggles time display |
| f |
toggles fps display |
| § (key "paragraph")) |
opens/closes the console (can be redefined with consoleKey variable) |
| m |
toggles flying/walking |
| ESC |
resets current console line/close console or quit application |
| TAB |
commands/variables autocomplete in the console (two autocompletion types depending on value (0 or 1) given to "tabmode" command) |
| space bar |
zoom the camera |
| right clic |
make the current client jump |
| g |
toggles the wireframe |
| b |
toggles the bounding box view |
