naym!is vs Corky (grom_dm3)

oh its not default for some weird reason but you can turn it on in the options (it has 3 settings: off, buffered, and something else [i use buffered]) or you can type m_directinput 1 for buffered, m_directinput 2 for the other and 0 for off.

tried to run Q2 using R1Q2
all I get is a dead load screen that say intitializin directinput ok
blink..blink..blink...

bah!  nevermind it works.
I have my fps capped at 35 and when I do a timerefresh it gives me 42, but it
looks fantastic like I'm getting way more than that!

so i guess i should switch over to r1q2? but then again the nocheat comes with that xp mouse fix, would i get that with r1q2 as well?

I'm told R1Q2 has a cvar to disable XP mouse acceleration (which is the default setting.)

I finally tried R1GL today, which is an updated GL driver, which doesn't do super-fancy special effects, but it does let you turn on anistropic texture filtering, full scene anti-aliasing, etc., as well as works with higher res. textures... such as these hi-res replacements for the Q2 textures:

Looks pretty nice.  BTW.. if you do get R1GL ( http://www.r1ch.net/stuff/r1gl/ ), make sure to follow the advice in the readme and use the updater ( http://www.r1ch.net/stuff/r1q2/download/R1Q2Updater.zip ) to get the latest version (fixes a crash.)

Digging up old posts.... sweet textures, where can I get them?  Above link doesn't work anymore =(

i was looking at some packet captures yesterday in Ethereal, and noticed they actually have a quake2 protocol decoder,
I also read some thing on exploits, that if you spoof the source ip to idgames source ip, you can send rcon commands to any server. i would think that's patched by now though.  but if anyone wants to do testing with things I was really suprised by how in depth it decoded quake 2, yet alone that it was even in there
- didn't watch the demo : )

to naymlis: please put demo's in the demo's section.

Er, you're joking again, right? 

[naymlis]

haha no.. he's not joking.. thats how plastik is. he's not really a smart one 

oh and i would like to get those high res textures as well as punk if anyone has a working link? thx.

[naymlis]

found this link: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jimw/q2/

gonna install em and see if they are the same as the ones console showed

I uploaded the hires textures pak here:

  http://tastyspleen.net/quake/downloads/q2max_hires_textures.pak

Note, I'm pretty sure these won't work with the standard id ref_gl.dll ...  You'll need something like r1gl to make use of these textures.

  http://www.r1ch.net/stuff/r1gl/


For what it's worth, here are the r1gl config lines I use in my autoexec.cfg:

Code: [Select]

set vid_ref r1gl

set gl_colorbits ""    //let r1gl pick the best
set gl_depthbits ""    //settings based on the
set gl_alphabits ""    //desktop color depth
set gl_stencilbits ""  //by leaving these empty

set gl_ext_texture_filter_anisotropic "1" //enable anisotropic filtering
set gl_ext_max_anisotropy "16"            //max anisotropy for GF4 is 8
set gl_ext_generate_mipmap "1"            //use hardware/driver mipmaps

set gl_ext_multisample "1"
set gl_ext_samples "8"
set gl_ext_nv_multisample_filter_hint "nicest"

Note, if your vid card is older, you'll probably want lower values for max_anistropy and ext_samples . . .

Ah, I was just browsing, and payed more attention to the Topic title than the contents.  I noticed some had posted demo's BUT have been putting them in other sections on the boards.

well I doubt he had a lot of other options back in june 2005....
