Quake / Re: Quake 2 remastered discussion - news and rumors

Rock On

I've no idea what I'm doing at all, but somehow I was able to get the hook and runes part of Lithium working in the remaster:

Admittedly I didn't play much Lithium back in the day, so I don't know if there's something that "feels" off aside from the runes spawning which I had to add an additional check. I'm also not active in Discord, so I've no idea if someone was already working on this. But this was more of a personal project to see I could get something to work rather than having the philanthropic goal of trying to convert something for the community...

Quake / Re: Quake 2 Remastered - Bots and CTF

Insightful

Bots partially work in CTF maps; the maps have bot nav points so they'll move around but won't go for the flag unless it's already in their path for something else. And even if they grab the opposing team flag, they don't seem to capture it for a point. And I don't think they know how to use the grapple

The easiest way to start a CTF map with bots is to create an Online/Local lobby as normal and start a CTF map, then in console:
bot_skill 5 (set to Nightmare)
bot_minClients 8
OR manually add one by one:
addbot

If you don't want to create a lobby for whatever reason, then before you start the CTF map in console, you need to set:
deathmatch 1
teamplay 0
ctf 1

Quake / Re: walking alias help

Rock On

+speed isn't a toggle command, you hold it down so you start walking

If you want to toggle it, you can change the cl_run variable, something like

alias walkon "cl_run 0; bind space walkoff; echo Walking speed"
alias walkoff "cl_run 1; bind space walkon; echo Running speed"

bind space walkon

I believe that you'll still make a noise if you strafe+forward/back or if you turn your mouse too fast, +speed or cl_run 0 otherwise. Maybe you have to mess around with cl_forwardspeed/cl_sidespeed/etc or just avoid those movements altogether?
