[16-2] Starting a game of Quake

Navigate to your Quake Champions directory (default: c:\quake_sw) via your command line or file explorer.

Type the command 'Quake -listen' and press Enter to start a listening server.

Access the multiplayer/modem/start game menu within Quake Champions to set up your game. Refer to section [4-2-5] for detailed setup instructions.

Press the tilde key (~) to open the console.

Enter the command 'COMX baud X modem startup (INIT string) enable', replacing X with your specific COM port and baud rate, and (INIT string) with your modem's initialization string. For example: 'COM1 baud 28800 modem startup ATZ enable'. Consult section [15-4] for a list of modem init strings. For direct connect games, you do not need to enter an INIT string.

Type the command 'Hostname X', where X is the desired name for your Quake Champions game, and press Enter.

You are now ready to accept incoming calls via your modem or null modem cable for a direct connect game.
