*** Instructions ***

Requires Windows and Quake 2. If you do not have Q2 read below NOTE 2:

Be careful when installing in the original Quake 2 folder because it replaces a lot of original textures by changing the ones you have, space required 7.5Gb+!

For this you have two options: Option 1 install in the original Quake 2 folder avoiding replacing the original textures / Option 2 install in a different folder:


- Option 1 (recommended) - Installation in the Quake 2 folder:

Separately decompress the "baseq2\textures" folders contained in .rar files into "Quake 2\d2legacy", thus avoiding to replace their original textures in your "Quake 2\baseq2". So it works perfectly and you have only one installation. For this:
 
1) Open Windows Explorer in your "Quake 2" folder, open the file part1 .rar select only the "d2legacy" folder, drag and drop into the "Quake 2" folder in your Windows Explorer.

2) Go back to the .rar, 2 clicks on "baseq2" and select only the "textures" folder, drag and drop into the "d2legacy" folder in Windows Explorer, avoiding to replace the original textures, leaving "Quake 2\d2legacy\textures\".

3) Repeat steps 1) and 2) for the other .rar part2 / v2 / tnt (optional) in this order.

4) After that, in Windows Explorer, enter the folder "Quake 2\d2legacy\km_engine_setup\v0.20\" and open "kmquake2_020_update7.zip" and unzip the contents in "Quake 2", replacing all the necessary files. Or do this from the file if you downloaded kmquake2 from the official website above.

5) Make a shortcut: "C:\Quake 2\kmquake2.exe" + set game d2legacy


- Option 2 - Install in another folder other than Quake 2:

1) In Windows Explorer create another folder named "Quake 2 LOD2" and unzip the .rar part1 / part2 / v2 / tnt (optional) in this order.

2) After that, in Windows Explorer, enter the folder "Quake 2 LOD2\d2legacy\km_engine_setup\v0.20\" and open "kmquake2_020_update7.zip" and unzip the contents in "Quake 2 LOD2", replacing all the necessary files. Or do this from the file if you downloaded kmquake2 from the official website above.

3) With Windows Explorer look for "pak0.pak" inside the original "Quake 2\baseq2\" folder, copy and paste it into the new "Quake 2 LOD2\baseq2\" folder.

4) Make a short cut: "C:\Quake 2 LOD2\kmquake2.exe" + set game d2legacy


*** Notes ***

NOTE 1: In the shortcut C:\ you can switch to your game partition: D:\, E:\, etc ...

NOTE 2: If you do not have the original Quake 2 just look for the file "pak0.pak" from the baseq2 folder on the internet which also works, since you only need it because this mission pack uses the port KMQuake2. Install by Option 2.

NOTE 3: In the game, if you lose your settings every time you play: Open the files "doomed_1.cfg" and "doomed_2.cfg" with notepad and edit the entries that you are losing and save. Or add // to the beginning of each line you want to change and configure again the settings. This prevents the default cfg from being loaded at all times.

NOTE 4: And again: Save your game only in small intermission maps, otherwise, the game will crash!

Not sure about the legality of ripping things from one game and converting them for usage in another.

At any rate, I think I speak for many American players when I say I'm not feeling warm and fuzzy about downloading a multi-part file from a ".ru" Russian host. That's how viruses happen. Would be nice if whatever this is could be hosted somewhere else, ideally a US source.

After watching the video... not really my kinda game. I love Doom/Doom2 and Quake2, but mixing the two together with Quake2's vertex based models just looks super odd. Hell Knights are supposed to be huge, 5x as tall as the player. But putting it into Q2 maps necessitates shrinking it down to 1.5x the size of the player at best. Just looks weird.

Ok, I respect your opinion!
I downloaded it, I'm playing it and it has no virus ... the .dll and .exe files are original from KMQuake2.

Does this have AQ2 style kicking? The video makes it seem like it does.
