Func_Msgboard: Idea: Quake 2 SP Jam

Posted by Pelinal on 2018/07/02 23:00:36

hi guys, its my 1st time here, though i've bee lurking here for maps since ever.

Well, its pretty much this, there's a few people on /vr/, QC discord and such talking about this lately.

Over the years we saw both quake engines evolving and quakespasm map jams proving to be insane over the time, but what about Quake 2? the game itself saw its share, but nothing compared to what Q1 got, in fact the few good and forgotten examples of this are the Mission packs and the Unofficial Trio that is Zaero, Juggernaut and Unseen.

the idea is simple, do a simple map jam using any theme for Q2(mines, space stations and such), you're free to use any of the Mission packs or Q2(even the unofficial trio), everyone here rocks at Q1mapmaking, and seeing this knowledge being use in Q2 would be sick, the source port is of your choosing, Yamagi, kmquake2 and Quake2xp are pretty much the best ones atm and all 3 are compatible with each other.

what you guys think?, i love Q1 and i still play it til nowadays, but Q2 needs some love too!

if this MAP JAM actually happened!

Btw, Yamagi appears to be the source port of choice for SP and still has an active development.

Wrong Its Kmquake2 !

Kmquake2 last update: 4/30/15
Yamagi: 7/14/18

Yamagi is to Quake II what Quakespasm is to Quake 1.

Kmquake2 Is Dead And Knightmare Is Gone

in fact he kept teasing before he disappeared about custom huds for KMQ2 like Quake 4 and the straight up port of doom 3 one used by the late Quake 2 Evolved(another good port who died fast for "reasons").

as for ports, Only Yamagi, Q2Pro and Q2XP are up to date, though the later 2 supports md3 and more, and yamagi hates custom stuff, in fact i tried to use it with GOGQ2 and it didn't recognized the music, also it kept crashing on software.

GOG has their "music" directory next to "baseq2" instead of inside it (along with some other quirks with the missionpack tracks). That's not Yamagi's fault per se, although its latest release has in fact been changed to recognize and adapt when it is dealing with a GOG install.

Dunno about the software renderer probs.

i simply gave the idea, i suck at organizing things, and my free time kills me for it :\

but as i said, a QUMP Hub for Q2 would be neat, i love Q1 but i love the fast pump of Quake2SP

also everyone here is waiting for EricW tools update, since it will feature Q2 Lightning stuff, which will be easier to make more maps.

Aw, dude.

The release thread for your episode is full of compliments and some polite/useful critique.

This board is mainly about Q1. but a few Q2-related threads like this one are pottering along just fine. There's always a few goofballs who will grouch about any game that is not Q1, in their own ritualized performative way, but that's just background noise.

Don't post here if it gives you bad vibes, but the self-martyrdom thing? nah.
