My screen is blank when I open Warfork

This generally means your video card cannot run Warfork with its default configuration settings. The following solutions may fix this problem:

  1. Add the following to game properties in Steam: +exec profiles/ultralow
  2. Update your video card drivers

The game won't display on any of my screens

Try checking the config file in your documents folder, and search for this line seta vid_multiscreen_head . If it is set to "-1" then you will want to try changing it to 1 or 2 based on what is your main monitor.

I'm seeing "pure check failed" when a server I connect to attempts to download a map.

There are multiple reasons why pure check could fail. This error message means the file on client's PC doesn't match with server's.
The following solutions may fix this problem:

  1. Add +set fs_usehomedir 0 to Warfork's launch options on Steam.
  2. Remove all downloaded files. More information can be found here.
  3. (Server admin only) Disable sv_pure (Not recommended on public servers)

How do I increase my FPS limit?

cl_maxfps and r_maxfps are responsible for the limit. They can be changed by using the Console, or using the graphical menus (options->video->"Framerate (FPS) limit". The maximum FPS limit is 1000.

I don't have Steam and\or don't want to use it. Where can I download Warfork?

See anonymous steamcmd download Frequently Asked Questions#Where can I download Warfork from?

Does a 32-bit version exist?

32-bit version of Warfork can be found in the game files.

Is it possible to change weapon models?

It will be soon.

Does Warfork have a max acceleration HUD like in defrag?

Defrag had such command like cgaz_hud https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uIFO4wB3bwo/maxresdefault.jpg

not quite the same but cg_strafehud 1 is a strafe helper ale's race hud can show accel and there are some other custom ones with it i don't have links

I created a game and I want to play with a friend, but how can he join me?

Warfork requires ports 44400 (UDP) and 44444 (TCP) to be forwarded. More information about server hosting can be found here.

How to remove the gray text while spectating?

Type cg_showhelp 0 in Console.

How do I make my own map?

You use a tool called NetRadiant. Most tutorials for Warsow, Quake 3, and GTKRadiant will be extremely similar. The Warfork files you need for NetRadiant can be found here - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/611741789237411850/659512520553267201/netradiant_warfork_gamepack.zip https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/NetRadiant https://github.com/xonotic/xonotic/wiki/Netradiant http://ingar.intranifty.net/gtkradiant/ https://slice.sh/warsow/oldwiki/IndexDocument.html - In the Development section there are some relevant pages https://ws.q3df.org/level_design/ - Very detailed tutorial for quake 3 map-making

Is there a way to set chat binds?

bind f say_team blablabla /bind f say blablabla / bind f vsay goodgame blablabla / bind f vsay_team goodgame blablabla / you can bind the voicemessages somewhere in the menu might be that you need to put quotes around the actual command (like bind f "say_team blablabla")

For some reason the players all turn the textures black around them when they are near me.

Here's an example: https://i.imgur.com/OgOaWMu.png Hm, so turns out it's not just one server. So far the only servers I've had the issue on have been FFA ones. Here's another example: https://i.imgur.com/8PirdXl.png

you probably downloaded some pk3 that breaks it deleting or renaming that should work you'll have to redownload maps

undo that and only delete basewf/cache but not the basewf in downloads there is one above that

warfork opengamepanel config?

if it has a q3 config that might work nevermind probably not

where can I find the (script) files for official gamemodes?

pure pk3 file

How do I make a custom gamemode?

Should I modify pk3 files?

don't modify the pk3s

How do I read or\extract PK3 files?

PK3 files are compressed using Zip compression. We recommend you use 7-Zip: https://7-zip.org/download.html
