Has anyone been able to get Quake II to run in wide screen, specifically 1920 x 1200? I know there is a way to recompile the exe to enable this for single player, but I imagine any messing with the exe will get you booted from TS servers. Thoughts?

I know some clients you can specify resolutions (custom), so try:

http://r1ch.net for r1q2 and

http://apprime.0wns.org for aprq2 (for this I know its r_customwidth and w_customwidth)

Edit: Bah adam beat me to it.

Hey chimp, since you are in his old clan, have you seen PUN around? I used to play him at velocity.

I talk to Pun all the time. He is doing well. He thinks he is grown up now so he doesn't play. What a loser....j.k...

Thanks for the info, adam. Do you know if the bot protection here at TS will allow me to play with one of those clients?

You can use any client you wish at TS, we dont not restrict clients, but do recommend r1q2 and the accompanying AC dll. Note check the http://r1ch.net website for the other clients that r1ch's AC protection can be used with.

If you're on a Unix (Linux, BSD, OS X), you can try Quetoo, in which case vid_width 1920; vid_height 1200 would do the job. Quetoo is also extremely fast compared to other engines. I run at 1920x1200 on my work laptop just fine.

My bad Jay, I forgot to mention your Linux client in my post above.

Odds are he's on Windows, anyway.

Okay, I have it working, sort of. I edited the config as bullz suggested above and that seems to work. However, when I first load up r1q2.exe, Q2 launches in a window. Then I have to go video, select r1gl as the mode, and it flips to full screen, forced at 1920 x 1200 no matter what resolution I select, which is fine. Is there a way for me to get it to launch in fullscreen?

For viewing pleasure, Q2 on a 30' mac display (image shrunk to 30% size).

Defiant,

Which client are you using, and what are your settings in your config to force that resolution. Do you have a problem getting Q2 to launch in full screen mode?
