Hmm... Well, i play more quake1 now because of ezquake and its ease of use. What if we make soething like ezquake for quake2?
And...The autoexec.cfg for q2kicker should be fixed to the normal gaming standards, scroll to change weapons, space to jump etc.
What if we link a "I want you to play quake2!" picture on the ts.net firstpage? and maybe have a FAQ which explains the what's and why's of the game?

Maybe we can even get id software and steam to ship q2 with r1q2(read: EXAMPLE!) so that newfags wont think:
"This game is acting all retarded because my pc is too new for this old game! I'll go play cod..."

-EDIT-
Happy friar mentioned a complete graphics  overhaul, i personally think that that would make the game look likkewannabe-cod, but what if we have an ezquake option like: Fast graphics,Eycandy,normal, High eyecandy?
Archievements sounds good, what about avig a exp system like Zdaemon? That will also make some people stay longer!

Hehe
Also, i got the idea for making quake 2 popular! We Hack into everyones coputer and makes it so that it shows a picutre of "START PLAYING QUAKE2!!!!11111" on the screen every 10th second, just like coca cola did in old cinemas! Brainwash <3

there's many players that would love to get started if they knew how to get that installer, and where to go from there with goto.  trying to get an old game working to be fucked with usually isn't super pleasant.

what does it take to do that??  my first thoughts would be some kind of advertisting, and a larger link for "getting started", with simple content, like get Elysium's or Jehar's kicker, goto these servers, come here for help.

I think a more visible link for a getting started type of page would help. I attached an image of the one they have over at quakeworld.nu for an example.

As far as advertising goes, I'm not really sure what would be the easiest / most effective way to go about it. The only thing I can think of is in trying to spread the word about Q2 on other popular gaming forums.

Ok, what if we make a quake 2 mod online for Zdaemon and skulltag, play at thoose servers so ppl will join and see how amazing and cool the q2 weapons look, then dl q2kicker and get as good as purri after playing 10 hours afterwards, then buy some fast-food and play q2 for 10 more hours! K?   
And, uhm, we should maybe make a Ezq2 client so that ppl wont have to fuck up everytthing, then rip their q2 cd in half of anger?

Quake / Operation: "QUAKE2ALIVE"!

« on: August 09, 2011, 01:00:10 PM »

Ok...Since this game is starting to rot in hell like all other old games we have to do something!
Squad, i present you operation quake2alive:
Will have a own website With leagues and server info, if you push the forum button you will be redirected to TS forum(if ok!)

Will host servers, arrange leagues worldwide etc.

And another idea is: what if we make a q2 onlinemod for zd and st?
But i would liek to ask: "would ayone help me out with starting this? "

-EDIT-
I forgot a few things, it should have mapping contests, mod contests, skin contests etc!

Umm... about my issues, i now believe that there's a problem with my setup and not the servers.
My pc: Hp pavilion Dv6
My mouse is a Deathadder the 35000 DPI version.

My problems are: Guns shoots 5 meter to the left of the opponent(insta)
Laggs(on coolnet)
etc.
Also, i use the q2 kicker(i have q2 on steam but i find the kicker easier to use!)

What if we start up some servers hosted somewhere in the "middle" of the world so everyone will almost have as high ping?
Also...We must do something to make q2 more popular!

Ok, im just putting this out here because i would ask if this guy actually is to thrust or not.
Also, no offence to razer or anything. im NOT PUTTING this out to start internet wars!

"hi, ligisdq2, i am razor from sweden, i saw ur post on tastyspleen u wanted to learn to play.

well, first of all, starting in usa would not be the best choice for someone from norway, due
to the high ping, all weapons will be delayed.

and second, do not take any advice from this vaevictis guy, he is pretty
much hated by everyone. 

if u are interested i could play with ya in europe and learn u
a thing or two if u want, but if u dont, ok.

/regards"

Quake / Q2 idea...

« on: August 07, 2011, 11:37:15 AM »

Ok, as we all know(sorta...) ping is a big problem on servers.(for me which lives in fucking norway D:)
I read about UT99 instagib that they had a 0 ping thingy or something which eliminates the ping differences so that the players with best ping
I FOUND IT: The only problem that could come to the mind about instagib when talking about fairness, is the fact that players with a lower ping are advantaged. In UT, shoots are calculated on the server, therefore if you aim someone, with 100ms ping delay, you'll have to adjust your aim to kill the opponent. The lower ping you have, the lesser adjustement you need. There is a Mod called Zeroping which removes this problem, by calculating the shoot "client-side", meaning that you exactly have to aim to the opponent in order to do the kill, which sounds more logical and natural.

Is it possible to make this for q2?

If you're familiar with the console commands, go to c:/quake2/baseq2 and open the "autoexec.cfg" and save whatever settings you're wanting there in that file. There should be another file in that same folder called "config.cfg", which will have the same things in it, but the way Quake2 is made, the autoexec config always overrides the regular config.

If you AREN'T familiar with the console commands, or at least the ones you're wanting to use to get the game running a smooth as you'd like, then maybe it would help to list your system specs. Since Q2 is so old and simple, chances are you will be able to take advantage of all of the graphical features without losing any huge amounts of performance or frame rate.

If you're using a flat panel monitor and not one of those 90's style big fat 400 pounder tube monitors, then you'll want to use the setting:
gl_swapinterval "0"
I forget exactly what that does, but if the value is set to 1 and you're using a flat panel LCD display, it lags your mouse movement quite a bit, making quick snappy shots impossible.

gl_modulate is another setting that is damn near a MUST to change. The games default value is 1 and is always way too dark. Increasing it to anything from 3 to 9 is much better. It basically controls the intensity of of the map lighting. At 2 or 3, you'll still get plenty of shadows in areas that are intended to cast shadows, and at 9, there will be no shadows.

Personally I use cl_gun "1", which removes the in-hand weapons from the screen and fires from the center position. I don't like having the big fat gun blocking the view of 25% of my screen. I think of the in-hand gun as being a blind spot.

Well thanks for the help i opened up notepad++ and edited it!

But what i need is something that turns off the gun effects the gibbs the explosions etc, because i use my backup pc now and it cant run q2 with the lowest video quality!
