Among the settings you can put in there are video and sound settings, player controls, and internet settings. Bat files contain the same information as the Target line in standard shortcuts, only in a text file.
In order to play the Mission Packs the game must be started by executing the associated bat file from the Quake 2 directory. You can also use these to create your own quick launch game by telling the computer to launch the game while at the same time telling the game just which parts you want turned on.
If you opt to run a server, or just play a local game with bots, you'll need a server. Its function is to set the various options for the game, all of these options can be set in the game itself when starting the Deathmatch or CTF game. This file is really only needed with quick launching games directly into Deathmatch or CTF games. Sometimes you just want to jump into the thick of it, and don't want to deal with the easier early levels.
Maybe you've played the first units so many times that you want to just start the game in the Mines, or jump straight to the Big Gun. By exec each of these commands it will place you at the start of each unit with a small weapon supply.
To play. CrBot has always been my preferred bot program, and so I will assume you use it too. With a simple configuration file you can add multiple bots to a match in seconds.

In Q2 jump is moveup and crouch is movedown. JC Denton 31 Dec, pm. Share to your Steam activity feed. When it comes to Q2 multiplayer it is fully operational with Q2PRO mod, available also for free based on Q2 demoversion on q2s. Originally posted by The Consumerist :.
Q2Pro is very Neat but I noticed that the Sparks have become softer so therefore not quite as bright and sharp looking, the tradeoff being it gets the smoke out of one's eyes in multiplayer. Not my cup of Tea as I prefer the Immersive interference. Guess I can't play vortex anymore as the anticheat thing is something I am against and Q2Pro doesn't fix being able to host a vortex server. And I even tried installing anticheat and it still says it needs it so it doesn't work right.

As an off suggestion to the thread, I'd like to see someone just add Vortex mod's Soldier levels and the vortex monsters to the Single player for an interesting enhance single player experience that has more of an older MMO vibe to it.
So that you can play it again and again, but it saves your prior level experience. Or something like it. I think I want that to happen out of curiosity really Sample Server. The Variables Here you will find the most used and most important variables to be set in your server.
To use these variables you simply put them on their own line in your server. For a full list of variables that are available to Quake 2 I recommend you check The Console. Example: set maxclients Example: set public 1. You can get a list of master servers from gamespys server page. Custom Variables You can setup Custom rules in your server.
If the Custom rule contains a Web site address double clicking it in GameSpy will open the page in your browser. I typically recommend that you set up 4 custom variables named Admin, e-mail, Location, and WebSite so that people that play on your server can contact you with problems and can find the web site associated with the server to find out about news, stats, mods, custom files, or anything else related to your server.
Qhost If you want to be able to administer your server remotely one of the best choices is QHost from Xoanan Industries. QHost runs on WindowsNT as a service and allows you to use QView to start, stop, schedule, and administer your server. QHost allows you full use of the server console from a remote location. QHost will also restart your server if it crashes. QHost is currently in beta but I have found it to be a very stable and very handy tool for running a remote Quake 2 server.
I typically set up WarFTPD so I have direct ftp access to the servers Quake2 directory so I can use QHost to stop the server and then ftp up any updates, patches or new mods that I want to add to the server. Read the Instructions The first rule of setting up a mod is to read the instructions and make sure you understand what they say. Unfortunately though you will find that a lot of time is spent making the mod and very little time is spent on documenting it.
Most mods require to go into their own directory under the Quake2 directory. One thing to watch for with mods is some will tell you to make a directory for the mod under the Quake2 directory and then unzip their mod to that new directory. Other mods will tell you to simply unzip the file to your Quake2 directory. A good rule of thumb that I ALWAYS use is to unzip the mod to a temp directory and then copy all the files over to the appropriate directory.
I cannot tell you how many mods I have installed that were supposed to restore the appropriate directory but didn't and ended up as a pile of files in the root of my Quake2 dir. Configure the Mod Most mods will come with a server. In the case of Lithium I just copied the Lithium.
If it has no server. Then you typically want to edit the server. Then all that is required is for you to change the command line so it reflects the correct mod. As long as you took my advice above and configured everything in the server. After you change the command line fire up the server either with QHost or your batch file and you should be on your way. Ground Zero Setting up a server using the Quake II Mission Pack 2: Ground Zero is pretty straigt forward except you have some new vatiables you can now use for the various new features that Rogue has coded into the pack.
Simply make a directory called rogue under your Quake 2 directory and copy pak0. The following is a list of the recognized deathmatch flags including the four mentioned above.
