Quake / Quake 2 Remastered - Bots and CTF

« on: August 17, 2023, 03:40:00 PM »

I wanted to futz around with the Q2 rerelease bots so I grabbed PakExplorer (very old school I know) and extracted the bots folder from pak0.pak.

There is full CTF support in the code. Whether or not it actually functions I have yet to fiddle about with. I gotta check the cmdlist for bot commands to see if it's comparable to Eraser's or Gladiator's.

Update: attempting to load CTF maps from the console loads them in single-player mode and bots can't be added to them. Think I'll need to learn a whole new set of cvars to fiddle with this stuff. I want my CTF-playing bots, gawsh durnit!

Quake / Hootenanny?

« on: August 15, 2023, 01:40:54 PM »

Hi all,

I couldn't make it last year but I'm wondering, is there going to be a hootenanny for Quadz's birthday this year? Would be awesome if that became a tradition.

Subject says it all, really. Is there a PAK viewer for Linux? My google-fu is not that strong on the subject!

Quake / Out of curiosity...

« on: November 23, 2012, 06:06:11 PM »

...how much space does everyone's Q2 directory take up?

Mine USED to be about 52 gigs, give or take, with everything (mods, maps, skins, textures, demos, screenshots et al) but thanks to a slip of the finger a couple of weeks ago I accidentally deleted the lot. Argh!

So I'm rebuilding my collection from old backup CDs, the TS file library, mirrors of the old cdrom.com idgames repository and whatever else I can dig up! Currently up to about 12 gigs.

How about you guys?

Quake / Quick Question re maxfps and rate

« on: February 07, 2012, 11:11:24 PM »

My apologies if this has been done to death!

I'm just curious as to what people are using nowadays for their cl_maxfps and rate settings?

Currently on my cable connection, using r1q2, I'm using cl_maxfps 40 and rate 10000.

I ask mainly because I've been getting some pjod lately on the servers and I'm wondering if it's my settings or if I just have a crappy connection.
