It's not 'set chain 1', it's 'set chedit 1' (Ha Ha). Incidentally, I have always meant to change an instruction that I gave for creating 3ZB2 routes. Oh, wait, it's a media file that my version of Chrome is having trouble with. Alright, cheers then.ĭecember 4, 2016- Download links still online, very cool.Īugust 5, 2015- Still here :) Had a little trouble accessing the page through Chrome, but IE works fine. The 32 bit renderer looks pretty impressive although it seems to have trouble with any non standard player skins during online play, so cl_noskins '1' may be necessary. Here's the page address - Panzerschrek 32 and 8 bit soft_ref - You will need to figure out where the download link/tab is as the page is in Russian, but it's fairly straightforward. I also found another 8 bit and a 32 bit software renderer that looks a bit more colourful. Nice and retro, brings back memories of playing Quake 2 on my old 333 MHz PC 20 years ago. I've been playing with Qbism, an 8 bit software renderer for Q2 with coloured lights (r_coloredlights 0 is plain old software mode). Put ddraw.dll directly into your Quake 2 folder. For Qbism you should need nothing as it works well on its own. Cheers!įebruTwo updates in one year!! Okay, if anyone does try the software refs under the February 7th update, you will need this ddraw.zip for the Russian's ref_soft.dll 32 and 8 bits. The gl_monolightmap command will come in handy too. The DirectQII client looks really nice, and runs perfectly, but it is very old school in that there is no gun over fov 90. I could not get the vid_gamma command to work until I removed the original Q2 config.cfg, and now all is good. DirectQII creates a dq2.cfg in your baseq2 folder, so be aware that it may conflict with any config.cfg in the same folder. Better late than never :) Angelfire has definitely earned it.Īlso, I've been playing around with the Direct 3D version of Quake 2 since I acquired an old Radeon that does not like the dynamic lights under OpenGL so much. Well, looks like the old site is still here and that's really cool too, so I finally forked out a bit of money to get rid of the ads. What can I say? -There's just something about Quake 2. So cool! Pretty nice of NVIDIA and Bethesda to put out an RTX remake for free. Imagine a 22 year old game getting a complete re-do in the latest game building tech. JanuWow! 2019 was a huge year for Quake 2. All files available in the download section as well. Again, rename to the highest numbered pak in baseq2 or download Pakscape here and insert the colormap into any pak you want. Finally, here is a brighter colormap to brighten up your day- bright.pak. I am using it in DirectQII which does not support png or jpg, but does have a super cool water warp effect much like Quake I. No fancy textures, but the sky is different and no need for fancy clients. There are some cool weapon sounds and I turned up the volume on some of the standard game sounds like armour, and ammo pickup. Just rename it to pak9 or any number higher than your highest numbered pak in the baseq2 folder. It's listed at, so it will show up in The Quake Server Browser as well as the browser built into Q2pro. NIQ is probably my favourite mod for Quake 2 and the Eraser bots do a great job as well.

There is also an 'niqebctf' file and the 'MAPS' file is where all the map rotation settings are. The niqeb.cfg is where you may adjust settings for the mod to whatever you like. Extract the NIQ.zip to your Quake 2 folder and Start the NIQ mod with 'quake2.exe +set game niq +exec niqeb.cfg', and you should have three bots on q2dm1 to start. I included a fully ready config and some extra maps and textures with premade routes for your fragging fun. JanuAdded the original 3ZB bot and the awesome No Items Quake mod to the downloads section. Better late than never ) Happy 2 0 2 1 !! No one will miss them, I'm sure, but I like to keep things up to date. I also crossed out a couple of the old linux bot links as well since I lost them when I deleted the same site. Cheers!ĪpFixed the Jabot win32 download link as I deleted the page that held the file last year and just realized today that it is broken.

The runes add an enjoyable dimension to the game. There are a couple of servers that run the Eraser Ultra mod that can be found on - Smack's Hideout is one I've played on a few times, really low frag limit but it's kinda fun. I have not used Ultra much or maybe not at all, but I believe it is for the mission packs and the awesome Lithium mod. I also added the Eraser Ultra to the downloads section. ApI found the Jabot for linux () again and quite easily at that so I updated the downloads.
