A Quake 2 remake, don't install it over your existing Quake 2 files.

Not happy with some aspects of the Q2 remaster?

Quake 2 Unmaster Mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/quake2/mods/15

The 'No Items Quake' mod can apparently let you do similar things with old school Quake 2.

The N.I.Q. mod will let you adjust weapon damage, among other things, if you want a quick and easy way to do it.

https://www.angelfire.com/mt2/quakebots/NIQ.zip

You can also download the mod in its unaltered state  from the downloads section of Tastyspleen site.

An old school Quake 2 site, mostly a repository for bot servers stuff.

I think pepp5 runs it, i'm not sure.

Another effort along the same lines.

Lesser efforts, but useful.

p.s. Some of this stuff might just be paks not programs.

Not a program, but a mod. Just paks really that work great with the latest q2pro and probably others. This gives you weapon stocks if you like to see your whole gun in higher fovs. Works especially well with the machine gun and the bolt moves as well for realism.

//disable hear-view chat bind
alias chatoff "cf1; cf2"
alias cf1 "bind BUTTON chaton; set cl_chat_sound 0; set con_notifytime 0"
alias cf2 "echo chat off"
alias chaton "cn1; cn2"
alias cn1 "bind BUTTON chatoff; set cl_chat_sound 1; set con_notifytime 3"
alias cn2 "echo chat on"
bind BUTTON "chatoff"

Alternate 'alias cf2' line:
alias cf2 "clear;echo chat off"
The 'clear' command clears the console of messages.

Or do it this way:
set cl_chat_sound "0"
set con_notifytime "0"


cl_chat_sound - This is a Q2PRO command, i don't know what else it works with.
Specifies sound effect to play each time chat message is received. Default value is 1.
0 — don’t play chat sound
1 — play normal sound (‘misc/talk.wav’)
2 — play alternative sound (‘misc/talk1.wav’)

con_notifytime - This is a regular Q2 command.
The delay before console messages disappear from the screen. Default value is 3.
0 — don't show console messages

For the 'cl_chat_sound' command the talk1.wav file is located just below the talk.wav file in the standard Quake 2 pak0.pak in \sound\misc.

For the 'con_notifytime' command if you set 'con_notifytime' to '0' you can still view the console messages by just opening up the console.

If you can't use the cl_chat_sound Q2PRO command then you could use a silent talk.wav file instead.

Follow this process:
1. Disconnect from the game you are currently playing and close the game client.
2. Put the pak attached to this post with your other pak files.
3. Open the game client and reconnect to the game you were previously playing.
4. After you finish playing the game remove the pak. (optional)

The pak attached to this post contains only one file, it is a silent talk.wav file.

p.s. This pak solution is to be used in conjunction with the con_notifytime regular Q2 command.
