OK. The original cq 1 2 3 do not work for my pc. Its be cause of windows xp. opps, sorry, i cursed. ;) So i went to the tucows website and i downloaded the cq thing that siad it was a cq 1 and 2 combo. built to run windows and had better graphics. so i install it and play it. it turns out that it only has the 5 levels of cq 1, plus 31 extra levels. no cq 2 levels. and the t.u.c.q. wad file thingamajig dont work eather. im 13, clueless on all this wad. stuff and all that, i need help qetting cq to work for my computer. please if any responces are made, please translate to were my stupid little peanut brain will understand ( if possible )

a few more things i for got to mention, ive never play any doom game, and am also clueless on that. and please dont be sarcastic and make fun on my lack of computer knowledge. <_<

I'd appreciate any info on this .wad stuff myself... :wacko:

dont we all

Ok. You want to just run the CQ games? Go get rid of that one you got off tucows [it's a rip, and they rip off a great program without giving credit where it's due] and get yourself extended edition from this very site. put all the .wad files in the folder, and run the program. it's self-explanitory from there. as for the .wad files........ A .wad file is just what it sounds like, a wad of files. sounds, music, levels, enemies, grafix, all go in a .wad file. And Of course you can't get TUCQ to work, bigfan. You probably don't have the doom wad file. you can use the file from the extended edition.

There is one big error in the extended version... normally you have to fight the flembrane in order to get through to the survivors... in extended he moves around and you can just run in witout fighting him. Oh well, I didn't really make it, I just put it through 95. The original CQ makers actually made it.

true, true. The reason for that is because it's using a DooM.exe instead of the Chex.exe. That's why the commonus and bipedicus can shoot farther too.

Your not alone Big Fan. I'm 13 too. I like XP's speed and security but I hate the fact that DOS games don't work very well on it. Anyway, here's what you do to get Chex Quest 2 & 3 to work. You download the DOS versions of 2 & 3. Then you cut the .wad file. Open the folder with Chex Quest Extended Version in it. Paste the .wads there. Then click the launcher. You can choose which .wad you want. You can download CQ EV on my site.

i'm 14, and error messages make my head swim :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

thanks, ill try to make some sence of all ythis, it was really helpful, i thought you had to go though this whole installatino thingamajig. thaks for yalls help. and im glad im not the youngest here Riche. i thought yall were all like 32, or 24 or somthin

I just started downloading cqev and its taking forever. its only 6.10 Mb!

ok i download it and all it dose is opens win zip. i might need step by step instructoins on whow to do this.

What folder are you talking about?

How?

You need to extract the files. There's a button in WinZip to do that, I think.

First off, I'm 15 and very comp literate, so age is nothing to do with it. It's willingness or opportunity [I'm betting you guys haven't had much opportunity, cause you all seem pretty bright(words of praise from me? There MUST be pods around!)]. Secondly, to run winzip....... well, you have xp? If so, then open the .zip file, then to the right, there is a menu. click on 'extract contents', or something like that, and follow the wizard. then, go to where you unzipped it [usually whereever the .zip file was, but in a folder called cqev], open it, double click on doom.exe, then click begin game. you can now play CQ1. To play CQ2 and CQ3, just put the chex2.wad and chex3.wad into the CQEV folder[the one with the program in it]. I'll put my messanger addy up in my profile, so we can talk. If i'm offline, give me a buzz on mail or here. [prefferable here, mails a little unstable]

What security? There is none!

And speed? That depends on ow good your comp is. I've seen XP with almost no speed. Painfully slow.

I agree with that, it depends on the computer.

its works now

:D yay! he figured it out!

are the tucows and scifience versions the same?

Yes.

Tucows is just distributing the Scifience version.

Chex qyest 2 dosnt work tho. cq 3 and 1 do, but when i extracted the cq 2 zip, all it gave me was a setup. no wad file, and it said i had to have the original cq 1 to install. dose that mean the cq of the cd?

Yes

Ok i got cq 2 to work. ok. now is there any possible way that i could get tucq to work, i have the wad file and i teied that on cqev, but that didnt work. should i try to replace the wad file on the ordinary games?

And how do i become registured on here?

i do have the wad files, i think. When i go on my comp., and i go to the cqev folder, to play cqev, i see a file that says, DooM.wad. If that is what your talking about, how do i get tucq to work?

First off, to get TUCQ to work, you need either DooM 1.9 or Ultimate DooM wad file. It won't work with Extended Version. Then go get DooM Legacy, and set it up. As for being a registered member, look on the top of the forum [should be right above the board list on the main forum page.

First of all, My new Name will be ChexBoss32890.

How?

To registure, Its Says i need an email address. i dont have one. Help.

for the registration, can't help you there. for the legacy, do you have DooM 1.9 [EV is 1.2, that's why it doesn't work] or Ultimate DooM? If not, go get the scifience version's wad, or better yet, go buy DooM [if not for the people who worked on doom, there would not be a CQ,]. Now, to set up DooM Legacy. First download it, and extract it. Next, put the DooM.wad file in, and the TUCQ wad into the legacy folder. now, double click on launcher.exe, and wait for the menu to load. Now click on game modes. [if this next bit is confusing, sorry. I'm not a very good teacher.] there will be 5 text boxes, with a single button after each one. on the top one, click that button, and select "legacy.exe". Now click ok. On those other 4 boxes, click the button on the first one. select doom.wad, and click ok. now click ok, and click on single map. under 'Mods' click the button next to the text box, and select Cquestphase1.wad [or whatever the file is] and click ok. then select your starting map, and click ok. now the game begins.

Hey Big Fan,

Just put my e-mail address. richiebrown@verizon.net

Thanks Richie. :D Its Bigfan, or ChexBoss32890. :D

would a 32-year-old play Chex Quest?

Do you really want me to answer that Question? :D

The skewed story: They would modify it to an adult version

The Sad Truth: They don't know of any other game

My dad (43) and brother in laws (29) (28) Play it. My Brother (17) dosent, it makes him motion sick

oh. sorry to hear [about your brother, that is] It's rare, but it happens. [happened to me when i played missile command too much ^_^ ]

hes ok but its the bobbing up and down while walking and the side ti side movement while shotting forward. i can see why it makes him sick. back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and...

oh......... I think with Legacy you can turn that off.......not sure..........

Thanks For letting me use your email richie. i decided to become a member when i felt comfortable whith yall, since richie is form cqmania, i thought he wouldnt let any thing bad happen on here, my worst fear was yall hacking my comp, stealling my social secerity #, corrupting my life, and forcing me to suicide, but yall obveiosly arent gonna do that. i hope ;)

lol. I won't, least not yet. I don't think I will....... [Joking, don't worry. I don't even know the first step in hacking, and It's not a trade I really wanna learn.]

i hope that is the same for every body else ;) :D
