Scroll down to the CLIENTS section.

thanks glad i got to try it, the lighting is borked tho disabled for chaingun/rail/machine gun and a few other weapons lol, what the hells up with these source ports totally borking the lighting effects? That was one of the biggest features of quake 2 when it launched ''COLORED LIGHTMAPS'' breaking this or removing it makes the game not quake 2.

This seriosuly pisses me off lol.

vulkan quake 2 is superior to that directQ2 tho it has minor graphical glitches, but it's still being worked on atleast the lighting functions properly tho.

Anyone have any idea's how to fix the v sync off/lighting issues with machine gun/chaingun in Q2PRO tho? course it's gonna tear duh no v sync, but it's not rendering how it should with v sync off like it does in quake 2 3.20 v sync off.

Someone should start a 'how-to build a config' thread, each OP post could be a modular focus on specific config stuff and anyone could post extra info for OP post updates, sub sections for different Q2 source ports would be necessary.

Some transvestite guy (not that there's anything wrong with that) named Costigan already tried that, a real piece of shit, but alas I won so many arguments with him and drove him insane until he had no choice but to delete it all out of frustration and leave the boards in shame.

my preferred method is actually patch 3.24 by the creator of kmquake2 or this 3.20 exe hack this guy did, the only thing better about yamagi,r1q2,or q2pro, or kmquake2 they support ''http fast downloading off servers''

i talked to the creator of kmquake2 and 3.24 unofficlal patch if he could maybe add http downloading to it, then it would be the best all around hopefully he could whip that up sometime maybe or vulkan quake 2 add it also.

yamagi is good pretty good, but has random ass crashes downloading stuff off servers sometimes specifically WOD servers closes to desktop no error message.

Yes we need that, it should definitely be done.

Hell i'd like to write my own unofficial patch for Q2, i'd start a forum (or get a board & moderatorship on an existing forum) for crowdsourcing the fuck out of all of the problems people have with Q2 so i could make successive versions until all of the major problems disappeared, naturally i'd lay it all out on github for anyone to get at to do their own work with it and i'd crowdsource from their work too.

I have this zquake2 3.26. It is basically 3.20 with http. I did not make and you will not find it elsewhere as far as I know.

Put libcurl in q2 folder

Can you remember where you got those zquake2 3.26 files from? link(s)?

Is this really necessary? This community is small enough (and shrinking every day) that we don't need to be attacking people and bullying them until they just give up and quit. There are plenty of people around here I don't agree with on most issues but I play adult and just ignore them. The whole keyboard warrior thing is wearing thin...

He deleted his site and the files with it, or it expired and he's dead or lost interest. The site was http://q2.rlogin.dk/ - long gone now.

Here is the github for it:

https://github.com/wavecollapser/nofuzz-quake2/blob/master/README.md.old

You can use the opengl renderer from R1q2 or 3.24 with it as well.

How would you go about using the renderer from 3.24 for zquake 3.26?

[xboxownzuall]

Have any of you tried jake2/quake 2? i cant seem to get it running, i installed java se 17 and installed all of Jake2-0.9.5-install.jar's files to a folder and put baseq2 in there but it wont launch it just says ''inititalizing client subsystem never launches tho stops doesnt do anything, picture attached of what id does.

Just take the ref_gl.dll from 3.24 and copy it over into your Quake2 folder. Same for R1q2; put the r1gl.dll into your Quake2 folder and set vid_ref to r1gl in the console or your autoexec.cfg. -And it works with the 3.20 ref_gl.dll too of course, and 3.21 etc.

this doesnt bring modern resolution support still in zquake3.26 does it tho?

i put ref_gl.dll from 3.24 in my q2 folder still same resolutions as stock 3.20 tho lol
