Action Quake 2
« on: May 11, 2010, 12:17:38 PM »
This is probably one of my favorite mods in Q2, it's where i started so i  :heart: it. now there are very few good us server floating around they crash often and stay down for months at a time. I requested to quadz to set up an aq2 server and he said when he had time he would. this makes me really happpy! anyway what i wanna get at is anyone interested in playing? its super fun! :) The mod is in tastyspleen download directory in mods.

heres a little fin phildo and i had last night!

Sure, I'll play. It looks interesting, though I'm not much of fan of headshots.

Can I see your config? I don't know what are the correct names for weapons so I can use them in binds.

[14:38] <Erica> bind 1 "use Blaster"
[14:38] <Erica> bind 2 "use A 2nd Pistol"
[14:38] <Erica> bind 3 "use Combat Knife"


but idk how good those work, im still trying to set up my cfg

I love AQ2 as well. There were 2 action servers I think back when the tx.tastyspleen servers were around. But then Gator got lost in racecar games and they disapeard  :nana:


But seriously, all aq2 client downloads should come with a pretty advanced config. It should invert your mouse, screw with your sensitivity, replace ALL of your function buttons, and rename you "suislide". One of the drawbacks of the mod is that you either spend a ton of time creating your own config from scratch, or spend even more time editing down the premade config and fixing all of the associated bugs.

I still have one of my function keys bound to one of the action config specific aliases "graph_on"  :lolsign:


From what I remember there was an issue with one of the official action downloads. I believe that I posted a fixed client install that fanny uploaded. If not, here it is:
http://www.zeliepa.com/dna/files/aq2c.exe

That link should have all of the client files but an outdated gamex86 which has an update around here somewhere. Maps are another story altogether. Let's put it this way. The entire Xrazy map download is about 1/4th of all of the available aq2 maps.

Hi Er!c@,

There are two aq2 servers up now - aq2ffa (74.54.186.236:27926) and aq2tdm (74.54.186.236:27927). They can be reached via goto as well. They seem to be running fine, but if you notice anything let us know.

The current map rotation for both is as follows, feel free to provide any suggestions!

actcity2
city
cliff2
deepcanyon
hostage2
jungle1
lighthouse
murder
teamjungle
urban
actcity3
urban2

Okay! As Dizzy mentioned Above 2 AQ2 servers now on the Tastyspleen server list! I personally am really happy about this! I've helped a few fellow Tastyspleeners get set up and I haven’t had any complaints as of now :)

What you need to get going:

http://tastyspleen.net/quake/downloads/mods/action_quake/action.zip

and

http://tastyspleen.net/quake/downloads/mods/action_quake/actn1Ccl.exe


These  need to be extracted into you quake2  folder, NOT BASEQ2

**EDIT**
After some people setting this up, it was noticed that some of the sounds are mixed up. I.E the M4 Assault rifle sounded like the rocket launcher firing in a rapid pace. so this pak here will fix that problem. :)

http://omploader.org/vNGU2YQ

put this into your action folder.

As for config you can very well work off of what the above gives you, there are a few online generators, but I will give a link my cfg which has all the important binds. There are many more things out there that can improve your sniper, tons of radio binds. And what not google is your friend. If you want to look through a ton of aq2 configs, there is an old site out there with tons of aq2 configs, you do need an account to download them, but the sign up is quick and simple! :)

My cfg:  http://omploader.org/vNGJsMw
AQ2 World: http://www.aq2world.com/


Next there are some key differences you need to realize:

1.) There is fall damage, its causes you to lose ALOT of health, and it will break your legs, causing you to limp, making it really hard to aim. Leading to the next feature.

2.) Bandaging. When you are shot you will continue to bleed so you need have a key near to bandage.

3.) When your gun runs out of ammo, you need to reload your gun. some require you to reload once and get a full magazine. But weapons like the sniper, and shotgun you need to hit reload continuously until its fully reloaded.

4.) Weapons have different modes, the M5 and M4 have full, and 3 burst round modes. The pistol has semi and full automatic. The Sniper has a scope that can be zoomed in as 2x, 4x, and 6x. All this done by binding a key to weapon.

Most this information is in the readme’s and the text files included with the game. This post was just to give you a general idea of what’s going on 

Note To Dizzy:  Everything seemed to be running fine to me  Thought at one point the aq2tdm server would not rotate maps, making it unable to play on.

Another thing is your probably going to want to get a map list option, and a vote map option in.

Other than that everything is amazing! For maplist, the FFA list is just fine the way it is. Though for the tdm server I would suggest this :

Actcity2
Cliff2
Deepcanyon
Jungle1
Urban2
Murder
Teamjungle
Urban3
Asylum
Beer
Sludge1
Teamdepo
Tokyo
Kumanru
Rok
Actcity3
Urban4
Airport
Wfall
Tequila
Chasm

Order is hard to determine, which is why a vote system would be ideal!

And if anyone needs help I’m usually on the tastycast ventrilo. I’m all over the play in IRC. And here as well so don’t hesitate to ask!

Happy Fraggin!
Er!c@

I tried both servers and the map rotation seems to be broken. It prints the next map to the console but then just starts the intermission again and then print the next map in the list. Happens on both ffa and TDM


I know that I won't have much chance of making this suggestion real, but can we avoid jungle and team jungle? They are the only maps that EVER get played. What ends up happening is people play urban1 or (occasionally) lighthouse for about 15 minutes to fill some sort of map vote limitation and then vote team jungle as many times in a row as possible.

This may be fun for the hardened veterans but instagib games of sniper only is about as fun to new players as going through a carwash with hotwax on a motorcycle.
