NEW HERE :]
« on: October 18, 2008, 09:46:26 AM »
Hey guys, I'm coming from the Quake III Arena community, here to try out Quake II.

I'm new, and need some help.

What are some useful commands I can use to make screen brighter, and less lag. (Not that there is any)

I love your servers :D

Also, any useful downloads I can get to make quake2 look better or anything?

Also, any useful downloads I can get to make quake2 look better or anything?

I would highly recommend the r1q2 client along with the r1gl video driver. Looks much smoother than your basic v3.20 clients graphics. Download speeds for maps, models etc are much faster also due to the improved net code.

Once you have that, I'd also highly recommend the hi-resolution textures that are discussed here:
http://tastyspleen.net/quake/forums/index.php?topic=9497.msg102881#msg102881
These make the maps look much better.

There are other clients out there available that have some very nice features too, like EGL, but from my experience it doesn't run too well for multiplayer. R1q2 is what the majority of folks use around here.

Welcome to Tastyspleen. I hope to kill you soon.  :badgrin:

Quake 2 is much better then Qauke 3 Arena in my opinion mostly because of the maps and game types. Anti-cheat is a very useful you should definitely get it.

If I don't smoke some bud I'll shrivel up and die like a beautiful flower without water.

Mainly what I was referring to was the fact that this guy said hello a freakin' year ago and no one's heard shit from him since. :uhoh: At this point, even "goodbye" is past due.
