I flatly refuse to run the new version. I had issues with it and continue to do so despite not being stupid. Also, you can't package it up for distribution when running the new version, because perl is not self-contained as with the old version. I literally am running the old TBRN config, I managed to scrounge it from the now defunked Alphared data centre before they lost all our files. In any case, the reason for a portable version is it contains better sounds than Mindgrid, new keyboard shortcuts for the JQ mod, plus a readme. You can run it from a pendrive by calling a bat file, meaning no instalation is needed. With the new version, this is practically impossible, and new players would have to register before they were even allowed near a server. to me that takes away a lot of fun from the game, especially for times that a person just wants to join & shoot things. With my version all you need do is download it, extract it, read the readme which is on the site, modify the last line of id1\config.cfg so your name isn't 'bad times', run start quake.bat, press s, and you're immediately connected to the server and can begin playing. Sinse I resurrected the server I've seen about 15 to 20 new names that weren't known about when it was TBRN running the server. Join me: http://onj1.andrelouis.com/programs Look for PortableAudioQuake.exe, and the QuickstartKeyguideForQuake.txt, before playing.
Until recently my server was logging it's stats to agrip, though for whatever reason it doesn't show up in the logs as of a few weeks ago. Therefore I am going to try and set up an independant stats server on my site, and if anybody does manage to get the new quake working to my player's satisfaction, will consider upgrading.
