The MOD will initially look to the quake.rc file first, worldspawn second and finally the console commands last. Quake.rc File When the MOD is loaded via a shortcut the engine will read the quake.rc file located in the root directory of the MOD. This file has essential one variable 'temp1' which is read by the mod and works like an entity spawnflag. Each setting is represented as a bit (0/1) in the variable and all of the bits are combined into one value for the variable. The file also contains all the new alias commands, which are basically shortcuts for the most popular impulse commands. (easier way to remember certain options) and a collection of specific console commands for certain engines to fine tune their appearance. Map Worldspawn When a map is loaded for the first time the MOD will read the worldspawn entity first and then check for the following special keys. The worldspawn options will always override any quake.rc file because the level designer would have created encounters and layouts based on certain settings. The majority of the worldspawn settings deal with how the players inventory is setup (ammo, weapons or items), global monster settings (liquid hazards, zaware projectiles or skins) and fog controller settings. Quake C cannot access any engine fog parameters and in order for fading fog triggers to work correctly the starting values need to be setup properly.

The new impulse commands (special QC functions) listed below can only be executed when a map is loaded and not when only the menu is active. Any changes to the MOD settings via console commands are maintained when different maps are loaded and any active changes can be written to save game files. Any changes to settings via console commands will be reset when the engine is closed down.
