I am installing Quake2 again. If some of you would like to join me say...Thrusday nights @ 8pm on a server it would rock.

The only thing we really need to do is find a good live server unless someone with a big pipe wants to port.

I would like to start off with Quake2 because this is the game we played together in the past when this was a thriving board remember?

So, how about it, anyone want to play?

I have a big pipe but my internet connection sucks.

Edit: yeah, I would like to do it. Thursday night at 8pm is kinda bad for me but I am sure I can manage.

Thursday would be fine, I just couldn't do it every Thursday. I play pool on a Wednesday night so that is always out for me. I think you will find that no night is good for everyone so just go with the majority, does this BB have a poll feature?

I am currently going through Quake2 configuration headaches. Like what was the setting to make the game not so dark? Geeesh!

Found a good link for those of you who can't remember what tweak does what. I have a fast system now but still have Gamma darkness.
http://www.tweak3d.net/autoexec/quake2/english/

Please don't wait for me to find a couple possible servers to play at.

Let's do this thang!

Cy - I don't remember them all but I know you can try: set_intensity "4.0" to brighten the screen up. Change the 4.0 to whatever number you want within the range. Try 3.0 or 3.5 maybe if that is to bright or 4.5 or 5.0 if not enough.

If you are typing that at console then do a vid_restart.

you have intensity, and gl_modulate (try 2.5) there's another, but it doesn't do much.

Thursday is allright i've got robotics now, so pretty much any night isn't good, but I can make several thursdays.

Anyone ever played probie? Aren't you that GX Mod demon who beat everyone including HAMMER? Howdy! Know of any non crowded server with standard DM maps we can practice/play on?

Try pinging here: 66.24.74.241:27910 - I get a 70 ping with no PL. Ran around like a retard trying to get a feel for the game again. It has been a long time eh guys?

Gamma looks good now thanks.

Cac: if you find out about turning water into wine, lemme know, it could be usefull during a party!

For a game of Quake 2, just gimme an ip adress with a date and I'll be there to frag all your asses!

Well maybe I'll get my ass fragged but anyway it doesn't matter. I would vote for lithium ctf for the mod, but it's up to the admin choice.

I came up empty (no game) on 66.24.74.241, but I pinged between 50 and 60 on 216.46.195

My Q2 config and autoexec.bat are untouched from 3 or 4 years ago, so I just fell right into the game. All I need is to slow the mouse down and I'm good to go.

I forget the command to run a FPS check. I put in "timedemo 1" but then forget the demo name. Any help ? I'm curious to see what a GF4 4600/AMD 2100+/768MB PC2700 DDR will do on framerate.

"To do a timedemo, from the console type "TIMEDEMO 1" and then "MAP DEMO1.DM2". Brian Hook recommends turning off the sound before testing your framerate. To kill the sound, type "S_INITSOUND 0" then "SND_RESTART" at the console, or start Quake II with the "+set s_initsound 0" parameter. Remember to set timedemo back to "0" before you play or you will be playing in hyper-caffeinated mode."

For some reason I only get 60 fps. I always hated this part of the game...you know..tweaking sheite?

Yeah .. I get the same thing. Whether it's 640X480 or 1600X1200, all I get is 60 FPS.

I check config.cfg and my other cfg's and see no 60 FPS limitation, like 'set cl_maxfps "75" '

Yep, I am now getting a SZ_ error and quake won't even exec.

It sucks when you have little free time to figure stuff out. You might not see me playing for a few days...oh well. ;(
