Quake / Q2 SP campaign: Slight Mechanical Destruction by Musashi
« on: November 02, 2013, 12:32:44 PM »
A little while ago, Musashi released a Q2 single player campaign (amazing that he's still mapping!):

He mentions that it'll probably only run with the vanilla Q2 client due to the DLL he modified:
I haven't tried any other clients except for R1Q2 which definitely doesn't work; it crashed for me whenever certain enemies fired. Probably doesn't matter for R1Q2 anyway, as you'll probably want to use something pretty...
It took me less than an hour to clear and I was sorta rushing it on medium difficulty, not actively hunting for secrets but managed to run into a few. Did a run through while testing some stream settings:

Monsters have a few modifications such as power armor and homing rockets. I kinda abused corner shots a lot, and had to take a lot of cover in general. There isn't a lot of backtracking, although you might have to do so if you miss switching on a doohickey before you leave the area. You might have to manage your ammo a little, or at least save your cells for tanks and enforcers, pretty much anything that you want dead fast before they kill you.

It only works with the vanilla Q2 engine from what I can tell, and the experiences of the beta-testers. Most likely due to the Lazarus DLL which I have modified quite a lot (so it won't even work with KMQ2, which has Lazarus support).
