!!!STOP!!!

DO NOT START WFA UNTIL YOU READ THIS PAGE!

If you would like help setting up a WFA server, go to the WFA Server Help Page.

These instructions are VERY short, and extremely important! You won't find half of the features in WFA without this information! First and foremost, the WFA Engine download (about 500K) is NOT a complete working version of WFA! You also need to download the WFA Pre-Download or the WFA Full Beta Download (both are about 60 megabytes). Both of these can be downloaded from the WFA website, http://www.captured.com/weaponsfactory/quake3/ .

Once you have both the engine and the media for WFA installed, read this essential WFA information: Nearly all of WFA's new features are accessible in the game through 5 menus. Here they are, along with the keys that bring them up by default.

COMMANDS YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT

MENU | COMMAND | DEFAULT KEY
Team Menu | /teammenu | F5
Class Menu | /classmenu | F6
Special Menu | /specialmenu | F7
Radio Menu | /radiomenu | F8
Help Menu | /helpmenu | F9

A few important commands aren't accessible through these menus. They are:

COMMANDS NOT IN THE MENUS

DESCRIPTION | COMMAND | DEFAULT KEY
Alternate Fire | +button3 | none
Offhand Grapple | +button5 | none
Jetboots (for Recon only) | +button6 | none

These commands will get you started, but every WFA player needs to make a trip to the WFA Class Configurator. It builds great cfg files for every class in WFA, customized to your preferences.

Other important links:

WFA General Forum - chat with other members of the WFA community.
The Official WFA IRC Channel is #wfa on irc.enterthegame.com.

ENJOY THE GAME! Remember that this is a BETA version of WFA, and not a finished product. Expect to see bugs!
