Just curious who all is using what.

i 99% of the time run r1q2. love it.

i have also used in the near past, holywater, nocheat, q2advance, and egl. r1q2 gives me the smoothest play and best fps.

i did want everyone to see Echon EGL though. Check out the screen shots. Or better yet, download it and see it in action. Easily the best looking client out for Q2. http://www.echon.org/ screenshots: http://egl.quakedev.com/egl_shots.php

i was using vannila q2.exe, but some wierd bug made it start fucking up whenever i tried to start it

so now im using nocheat, i tried r1q2 but couldnt stand the physics changes.. nocheat doesnt seem to have any noticeable affect

cl_async 0 is your friend when it comes to r1q2, removes all the crappy ass physics changes. cl_protocol 34 makes demos you record viewable with any client instead of only r1q2. What looks like a really crappy client at first isn't that bad when you get the settings right.

I use q2advance at the moment, a bit buggy but works pretty good now when I got the config just as I want it to be. I've been through quake2.exe/q2ace.exe/nocheat.exe/holywater.exe/r1q2.exe along the way, and allthough the clients are a bit different the difference is minor to me at least. The only things I can't live without now are the chathud, the highlighting of names, the coloredlightmaps setting, and yeah, the xania railtrail. Else I set everything pretty much to default quake2 as I can. And as long as I get my needed steady 83 fps with cl_maxfps 90 that's all I really need.

You sure? I could have sworn I tried nocheat at that resolution once. I'll have to reinstall later and see $:-\$ Can't play that res though, my fps drops to low, I need a better video card.

Me using r1q2

since i got used to it playing gloom (hate gloom now, its so unbalanced)

Looking into my c:/quake2 i find sulq2 which comes from the modification gloom to. This one is very nice in optics and has a small radar on the screen. It shows dead body though so its not realy helpful in DM play.

Short from quake 2 clients

r1q2
sulq2
q2ace
q2e
quake2
quake2max
