Quake 2 improved engine

[byerscm]

great a soundless video next video....

[TheWaynelds]

hmm too bad this engine doesnt support the game audio.

[MataPorta]

Looks like doom 3 engine *suspicious*

[IjustonlysayXD]

wait, do i need shader model or anything related to shaders to run this mod???

[10samm10]

All these fancy effects, yet still no weapon muzzle flash.

[groMMit1981]

Never liked Quake 2. ID need to do a reboot of Quake and Q3A to remind themselves and the world what a good FPS needs to be at its core.

[redviper98]

its like a quake 2 remake

[Kiryutka22]

The original version of Quake 2 will always be the best version! !

[byerscm]

no sound?



[UZI9MMAUTO]

Visit QUAKEPC: vvvvvv.quakepc.webs.com

[UZI9MMAUTO]

I would of thrown in the Flashlight Mod. It would be awesome here!

[Fabiolinks]

good but very very dark.

Quake 2 was dark, but this is even more

[iw09yahim]

is quake 2 evolved

[iw09yahim]

q4 engine?



[TransparencyDigital]

@jnderblue Why no sounds?

[olimaster577]

needs to be brighter

[BossHossGT500]

i can't see shit

[Gustavo3451]

@BossHossGT500 Same, The "improved" engine is pretty terrible imo, I prefer the old one.

[BossHossGT500]

@Gustavo3451 yeah this looks horrible, i'll stick with old quake ii.

[ChaosNuke666]

It is too dark there. I understand that it is because of ligting mechanics has been improved to get better shadows. But I think lights power need to be increased, that level is not some dark catacombs - there many light sources. So it would be correct to make it brighter (like id made it in original).

[jonathanmadison12]

So basically, its the half life source of quake 2... It looks a little better, but its still nowhere near as good as the original...

[100Ultimate]

@jonathanmadison12 What do you mean "Not as good"? It's exactly the same, with graphical enhancements, meaning it's BY DEFINITION better. :D

[TheRancor44]

Blurry vision+shake when hit, bump mapping, different lights, darker (unless that was the recorder) and... Doom 3 HUD. While Doom 3 has the exact same things just like in this video. This is either an awesome job, or a Doom 3 mod. However, due to the screen at the start of the video, and the.. uh, mission objectives screen-thing, i'll stick with awesome job. By the way, there is a Q2 mod for D3, right?

[jnderblue]

@TheRancor44 It's a mod... for quake 2. You can try it, link is in description :)

[1r0zz]

@TheRancor44 it's not much surprising that an Id engine is capable of give shit to everything out now...

[CombineHgrunt]

Damn, I thought the updated engine I used was cool already

[PSXDooMERR]

Really reminds me quake3

[NeosJordison]

it's the quake 3 engine???

[jnderblue]

@NeosJordison No, it's the original engine with some improvements like bump mapping, high resolution textures and better light effects.

[ochgottnochma]

@jnderblue no, its not better. technically maybe, but it doesnt look better. the old engine got way more athmosphere.

so call it "technically enhanced quake 2 engine" or whatever, but not "better"... "better" is to relative.

personally i like those updates to old games, but maybe it would be better to create mods and servers for it, instead of new graphics?

[GrUbEn95]

@jnderblue How install this mod ?

[metabog]

That's some interesting bump mappage.

[defragen1]

looks too dark compared to the original

[jnderblue]

@defragen1 Because the video is recorded with low brightness. Don't know why. When playing it's ok.

[Freelancerk1bbles]

@jnderblue you probably used msi afterburner to record it. Try Gregion, it is free, but doesn't do the darkening thing.

[jnderblue]

@Freelancerk1bbles I used Xfire overlay. I will try Gregion, thanks.

[somertonlord]

When i try it the scene comes up white and i cant see anything, could you help me please.

[jnderblue]

@somertonlord

Try to open "q2econfig.ini" file (inside "baseq2" folder) with notepad and search the following lines:

seta r_customWidth "1600"

seta r_customHeight "1200"

seta r_displayRefresh "60"

Replace the numbers with your display resolution and refresh rate and try it again. The numbers in the file may be different than this. I hope this works for you.

[somertonlord]

@jnderblue Thanks, i will try it
