Is it possible to deactivate info_player_intermission?
« on: February 24, 2023, 07:02:04 AM »
NOTE: This question is related to classic Quake II patched to version 3.20, not modern source ports.

Is there a way, either via map editing or cvars, to disable or inhibit info_player_intermission in single player? I played Q2 when it came out (thus prior to the 3.20 patch) and I remember that the transition between units happened without info_player_intermission being triggered (you were brought directly to the end-of-unit cinematic). Indeed this entity was already present in the maps, but it was only meant to work in multiplayer: in single player it's pointless, and it also breaks immersion. Simply removing the info_player_intermission from the map (or changing its spawnflags so that it's only present in deatchmatch) doesn't work, since Q2 will automatically re-direct the intermission view to info_player_start.

My question has been answered on another forum (the answer is NO, info_player_intermission can't be skipped in any way without modding the game) so please ignore this post.

How would you know if we ignored this post, or just didn't notice it?

Quake II is not 27 years old. I refuse to accept THAT much time has gone by.
