Post your quake 2 set up

[Slayer :D]

I think I'm using ReaL's pak--it came with his config too.
The first screenshot uses my gl config, the second uses the config that came with the pak (the stupid thing changed my name lol ).

Wow on finding the unreal texture


I remembered who put the pak together, it had the tag "section 8" 

[quadz]

also: if you have MORe then 1 pak that has textures in it,things get fucky for some reason.
Sometimes textures can upscale or even shrink

Hmm.  If that's the case, I'll give it a try with all my other .pak files removed.

Indeed, it works fine when I removed conflicting .pak files.

Quite an interesting .pak !  Some unusual sound choices.  I particularly like the horror-style railgun hum

can't remember where that came from,  I played around in an editor with a ton of sounds and that was a good loop that popped out.

It's about as noticeable as the regular one in game,  and gets a really eerie "stereo effect" when you get close to another railgun user.



!!!!!  I think its Trent Reznor,   the word "erase" done on further down the spiral...

  hmmm,  either that's it or I had the idea to use that and never did...

Have to go listen now

Hey, I love that look too!  If you do the dirty work, would you allow me to be a lazy mooch and get the .pak file from either of you?  Pleeeeeeeeeeease! =)

I like this pak a lot, BUT, I don't like the altered sounds OTHER than the 3...2....1... grenade thing.  How would I use all default sounds, other than the 3,2,1 grenade countdown timer with this pak?

Also, I have put "gl_dynamic 0" and "gl_polyblend 0" in my autoexec.cfg (which resides in my baseq2 folder) and I always have to manually exec the autoexec.cfg from the console when I go into game because the gl_dynamic/polyblend don't take for some reason.  What gives?

What I did was, in PakScape, just rename the existing sound folder to sound.disable.  Then, created a new sound folder into which I copy/pasted any sounds I wanted to keep.  (In my case, just some in sound/weapons/*.)



(Note: Some of the sounds also reside in players/* ... so I also renamed players to players.disable ... but, if you want to keep the player skins and just ditch the sounds, you can just delete the .wav's in players/* )

Many thanks Quadz =)

Man that thing needs cleaned up,   there are probably 100 sounds that aren't used.


Happy that some people found some use out of it

I have a few things like that,   the bottom of my config.cfg is "bind * exec init.cfg"

init.cfg is what I've named my personal cfg for any game since the late 90's
I just start up q2 and tap the * key and everything is set just right

I figured out why it wasn't working.  I had it in the autoexec.cfg as:

gl_polyblend 0
gl_dynamic 0

I changed it to this:

set gl_polyblend 0
set gl_dynamic 0

and that fixed it.

Oh, I changed my gl_swapinterval to 0 too, and that made things seem a TON smoother/faster.
