Quake 2 Darkvoid Release!

[Buzzard]

nope.  Goes to a black screen like it's loading then a MS crash window comes up.  Here's what it wants to send to MS:

hmm, sounds like you didnt copy all from the rar file or didnt place it right  and if its not that try do a clean q2 install else im not sure

try do a clean q2 install

I guess you missed Friar's interview on monday.

I put the whole rar in my q2 folder.  I double checked. 

and yeah, I haven't done a "clean" install in a few years (almost a decade now???).  I *THINK* i did it to a separate  folder once to setup stuff for my server, but that's it. 

But it might not be a bad idea to try it in a new folder of stock Q2.  could be a DLL or something from another q2 engine is messing with things?  I've got 6 engines in my Q2 folder including the original EXE & darkvoid.  Who knows what I have lurking somewhere else!

It seems to me that all of the .dll's distributed with darkvoid are ogg/Vorbis related. Do you have any other clients that play .ogg or .ogm ?


Buzzard, what software did you use to convert the tracks to .ogg?

We use FFMpeg with a WinFF gui interface where I work to do videos. So far I've run into a few minor problems with converting some videos that use certain audio codecs. Then again, being sound simple apps like "Free Mp3WmaOGG Converter" work fine. Hows that for a ridiculously long name?

haha no wonder, i have almost the same in my Test engine floder with KMq2, q2e, q2xp, q2Max etc and i cant play half of them, they either dont start or they crash when starting a map.

Yes because i needed them from the ogg/vorbis SDK. Well i just took these sound files from Q2e 0.68 because came with them.

Aww the link is broken? Do you need somewhere to host this? Quadz has some space and I have some as well.
