This is freeware now, Does anyone know how to make it work on a modern, fairly high-end rig. The installer doesn't work correctly under modern OSes and crashes with an error abotu trouble copying "wolvie.bmp." The launcher only seems to launch regular Quake. I tried browsing mods in Darkplaces, but it just crashes the program once I select this. Does anyone knowledgeable about Quake have any ideas?

engine.exe -game xmen

engine.exe being whatever engine you use (that ISN'T a Quakeworld derivative, so no EZQuake please)
This includes Darkplaces (which should work), WinQuake, etc.

The SDL version of Darkplaces worked.

By the way the freeware version doesn't have the CD tracks, but it's a blessing in disguise because they're just terribly unfitting.
