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.

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.

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.

October is horror movie marathon month for me.

In the past week, I've watched all 11 of the Friday the 13th movies in order. There's technically 12 of them if you count the 2009 remake (which I've never seen). I remember seeing #10 Jason X (2001) and #11 Freddy vs Jason (2003) when they came out in theaters. It's hard to believe that Freddy vs Jason was TWENTY ONE YEARS AGO! Damn that makes me feel old.

The earlier ones were pretty good. Personally, I think I liked #3 the best (the first film where Jason gets the hockey mask), perhaps tied with #4..

When Friday the 13th Part 3 (1982) originally came out in theaters, it was in 3-D. It would be great to see it on a big screen in 3-D again.

Back in the early to mid-1980's, 3-D was a big thing. I saw at least 3 different movies this October that were originally in 3-D. One was a lesser-known slasher called Silent Madness (1984). Also saw the 3rd movie in the Amityville series, Amityville 3-D (1983), which wasn't too bad. 3-D movies were supposed to revolutionize the movie-going experience forever, but... after the mid-80's, they just stopped filming them that way. I'm not sure why. I know it takes special multi-camera setups to film it. Perhaps the special cameras and methods for getting the shots were just too difficult or too expensive. I wish they'd bring them back and make more of them, though. It would be great for horror movies,... but on the other hand... the kinds of horror movies they're making these days aren't the same kinds of horror movies they were making in the 80's. These days, they seem to make nothing but awful teenage date night types of horror movies - a silly juvenile plot and premise with copious amounts of long drawn out suspense shots followed by screamy stupid jump scares. Shit like Scream or Final Destination.    



A yearly tradition for me, on Halloween night I always watch From Hell (2001), a movie about Jack the Ripper starring Johnny Depp, Heather Graham, Ian Holm, and Robbie Coltrane, based on an old graphic novel that was apparently pretty popular - never read it myself. Definitely my favorite horror movie of all time. Me and my best friend (who passed away a few years ago) saw it together probably 10 times while it was out in theaters, and I saw it probably 10 more times all by myself when I didn't have anyone to go with me. Back in the early 2000's when we lived in our old neighborhood closer to Atlanta, When I'd have nights off and no one else was available, I'd stop by the bar and have a few pints then head over to the theater and go see From Hell again. One time I brought a bottle of Jagermeister in with me and finished it off and ended up falling asleep in the middle of the movie. I woke up at about 1 or 2am, NOBODY in the whole theater except some hispanic lady from a cleaning contractor running a carpet cleaning zamboni machine.

Anyway, yeah, From Hell, GREAT movie. Well acted, brilliantly cast, great screenplay, and great stylish cinematography. The story is fiction, but most of the characters are real and most of the fine details about the murders are based on real facts of the Ripper case. Some people think it's a bit of a "gory" movie, but I don't really think so. It doesn't really show any close detailed shots of any particularly gory parts of any murder scenes. One or two scenes of throats being slashed. Again, the cast, the acting, the screenplay, the detailed sets, the fact that it's a historical period piece... it's great. A very very underrated movie, and my favorite horror film ever.
