Serious Lack of Quake II Source Ports

[Korax]

Sofar everything is on schedule for the release during next week.
The OGG playback had a pretty decent optimization done today.

I've also added the ability on the video menu to re-sample textures from point-sampled right up to the limit of your GPU's anisotropic capabilities.

If you want that hardcore software-renderer look then point-sampled is the way to go.
I've also added the vweap to render in the 3D view where you setup your multiplayer "player setup"... less weirdness.
The ability to configure and use "prev weapon" is also added to the controls menu.

Damnit, man. Way to make me all giddy.

[Korax]

Well, then I can make you a little more giddy by saying that the texture filtering option of choice also affects video playback. So if playing the game at point-sampled rendering isn't good enough, the video playback compliments it further by also rendering point-sampled against a proper aspect ratio.

If your GPU supports non-power-of-2 texture rendering then it truly creates the really oldschool original software-like feeling.

The only "extra data" that the engine needs (but not required) is the OGG files for music playback since I can't distribute that with the engine legally.
The OGG files may also be placed in PAK files.

Found a "sort of" Fix for playing Xatrix and Rogue mission packs for Q2berserker

(with the mission pack weapons and enemies working)

edit: start Q2berserker executable with u know +set game xatrix or +set game rogue

also put +set net_compatibility 1

then after starting the game, go to Multiplayer, select Coop mode.. enter in yourself... playing "offline" I believe....


Not sure if saving will be possible with this method (which kind of sucks ass)

saving is nice...

but it works kinda lol


Still in search of Quake 2 evolved for mission packs though... seems like a better option for that

[Korax]

Try starting the mission packs with "+set game rogue" / "+set game xatrix".

I'm pretty much done with UQE Quake II.
At the moment I'm doing minor tweaks and fixes and doing rigorous testing to ensure theres no release-issues. It should be live anytime between tomorrow and this coming Sunday... if nothing comes up.

Obviously UQE Quake II isn't Knightmare/Berserker... and its not intended to be.
The total UQE project & mission is to take a minimalist approach to changes in an attempt to preserve the originality of the game minus all the bugs and irritations experienced which shows the age of the game.

This means all classic Quake II mods should be functional out of the box.

Try out UQE Quake to get a preview of what to expect.
I'm releasing an updated tweak for UQE Quake later today that fixes a few tiny issues like for example improved stair step-up smoothing.

UQE Quake II is in the wild !!

Lemme know what you think!

@Korax
You should add widescreen resolutions to choose.

[Korax]

Hey Zaratul,

There are widescreen resolutions. Are there any specific ones you require?
