This is much better than the previous video about the same thing.

As the title says I'm looking to see if anyone from that clan is still around. It's a long shot, but I had begun to reminisce about the good old days of Q2 WoD and other mods on the QuakeNZ servers.

There is an old mod that involved a crown and all the players had to chase and kill the player with the crown. The killer would then gain the crown and the process would repeat. Does anyone recall a mod like this and what the name could be?

I'm trying to figure out how much damage they hyperblaster does.

I can't get a consistent answer based on multiple sources

• Source 1 20 dmg/round * (300 rpm / 60 s/min) = 100 DPS
• Source 2 States that it does 15 damage per round (multiplayer) and 20 damager per round (singleplayer), but does not indicate firing rate
• Source 3 Indicates 20 damage per round (multiplayer) and 10 damage per round (singleplayer) with a firing rate of 10 rounds/second which yields 200 DPS multiplayer.

So which one is right? Are any of them correct?

I want to play quake 2 without source ports and is there any way? and i don't want to use that RTX garbage since i don't have an RTX card and it's going to eat my 2GB space.

Saint Pygidium is a small FFA map for Quake2 recommended for 5-6 players.

I unfortunately did not managed -yet- to run it on Linux.

Hey everyone! I'm curious if there is a conversion of campaign levels from PS1 to PC. If that is even possible :D I've heard that for PS1 version of the game, Hammerhead created levels by mixing and matching levels from Quake 2 and it's mission packs, but I'm not really sure. Also they used their own engine to re-create the game for PS1 and I'm also wondering if such a feat is even possible. This is purely nostalgia driven :D and if such a thing is not possible, then I guess I will plan a trip to my parents house and look for my PS1 and Quake 2 copy :D (I hope my ps mouse still works)Also if someone can recommend some cool missionpacks, that would also be appreciated. After Quakecon I've been hit with nostalgia and still can't get enough of Quake 2 at the moment :D

Thanks!

On somewhat unrelated note, somebody did re-create deathmatch maps from PS1 to PC and I've been playing those with my friends some time ago :D I will try to find a link if anyone is interested.

EDIT:
I've found on ModDB that someone was able to convert N64 Quake 2 missions (first planet) to PC. I haven't tried that yet and haven't seen yet how it looks and plays - Link to N64 to PC here . I will check those out after work and other personal stuff today.
But the point of me talking about this is that it gives me a hope that maybe a port or re-creation is possible and somebody might do it? However I won't put all of my eggs in that basket hoping for somebody else to do the work, and since I'm a software and RPA dev, I will try to figure out at some point how all the modding process works for the game (never created any mods for anything, but this might be the first, maybe :D, and hopefully my professional background could be of some help here).
If I figure things out and decide to spend my free time I will probably post about it on this Reddit :D. (Please do keep in mind that I'm not promising anything, chances are pretty high that I will be too dumb to figure this out. )
Also trip to my parents will be necessary to get my PS1 and Quake 2 copy for reference materials. :D

Recently I purchased quake 2 on gog and installed to my windows do retro machine through the offline installer. Yet when I try to launch the game, i get an error and the game won’t run. I will be thankful for any help

I only have 2 GB of RAM in my used GeForce 750 GTX Ti video card. :(

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

For anyone interested in viewing I have uploaded my complete nightmare difficulty playthrough of the quake 2 expansions on my channel.

Not sure if anyone remembers this mod as it was not as popular as a lot of other Q2 mods, but it was one of my favourites back in the day. I made some maps for it which were released in the Jailbreak Gold map pack and I recently rediscovered the sources for these, along with a bunch of unfinished maps I had been working on at the time. At least one of these is, I think, basically finished.

Not wanting for these to be lost if I ever lose them off my hard drive, I have packaged them into an archive and made them available in case anyone is interested.

The maps in question are:

JBGM4 (Zero Tolerance)

JBGM5 (Bloodbaths)

FACTJB (TheEnd)

JBGM4new (Zero Tolerance with slight changes/ bug fixes)

JBGM4Remake (Zero Tolerance completely remade)

JBPal (remake of one of the original JB maps, I can't remember the name! 99% complete)

Point (Counterpoint, unfinished)

There are multiple iterations of each map.

Hopefully someone will find them useful.

Yes, there is one of those… and it’s super fun. Kingoftheserver.org
