alternative to Quake 2 Starter? (1 comment)
Posted by azxx @ 04:40 CST, 11 February 2026 - iMsg
Quake 2 Starter ( http://q2s.tastyspleen.net/ ) was to Q2 what nQuake is to Q1/QW. But I tried it recently and it seems broken? Something in the package to do with the source port it seems? Is there a manual fix or alternative? These kinds of community installers are really good for getting new players up and running, and also good for a quick setup on a temporary computer.

Man. Why vedic? Or Brendan or whatever. Why Brendan?

Why did you work on this site for months, almost revived it, then deleted it all in a, what I can only describe as, the most retarded hissy fit I have EVER witnessed on the internet?

Whyyyyyyyyyyy

I wrote the guy an angry farewell letter (actually it was just a reply), but then deleted it the next day or so because of .... you know this feeling when you really CARE, but get the impression noone else really cares and will shit on you for caring? Yes, that.

So yes, I was addicted to Q3a and ESR as it was cool. And a too long time after admittedly. I was almost the last person who contributed to leave (some crazy people stayed with dead Q3a, I will not count them, or speak loudly about them...). This was my all. I lost girlfriends over Quake and ESR (yes really). I admired Sujoy the whole way, up until when he abandoned us. I loved all about this site: the freedom, the toxic flaming, all of it.

But now it's gone and I miss it so much I am angry about Brandan, for giving me hope and swiping it away under my feed just as I was getting comfortable again (well, lurking mostly, but still).

Brendan, would you axplain yourself? Or am I retarded and missed the explanation?

And while we're at it, why not recover the working parts of your edits, Brandan? You probably are a competent coder, it basically couldn't be worse as to what it is now. ?

Just because cpm players only play cpm3a/cpm22 does not make pukka3tourney2 "new".
Industrial is an amazing map, hope to see it in more cpm cups. Great cup overall, thx and play industrial.

The winner of this poll might get featured in some of our future cups.

Also some people have asked me about the "fragmovie" I'm making of the cup. There have been some delays but it's still in the making. Due to the shortage of frags, it won't be long, but it will include lots of other stuff as well.

Industrial is my favorite. Not only because it looks nice, but because it seems to play lightning-fast. From watching the stream and actually playing it on FragLove, there's some useful jumps in CPM, both the MH and RA are risky to obtain, and it is overflowing of connectivity.

This is why we should respect the people in the professional level design industry, because more often than not the industry guys tend to make the best stuff imo. It's kind of like how you respect your elders in karate, etc. because they are the ones that managed to gain enough experience to become "teachers", etc. Congrats Hipshot. :)

It's still in beta (hence not on ..::LvL yet) and it takes a while to download, but it's worth it for sure. I'd also recommend checking out his other maps like Solitude and Crescent - Hipshot knows how to make some mean stuff. :)

Oh nice. Googling industrial and quake just does not work.

I think industrial would be really interesting for 2v2, this map is really huge and can be devided in two areas.
It would need another YA. But maybe the map is too much wide open ?

And add the PU where is the 25H near low rl bump.

This is just my opinion.

We believe in you Gaiia. If I can help you, don't hesitate. ;)

industrial? huge? what's in the baguettes, mate?

For a duel map, this map is a bit large. (I agree that "huge" is overdone)
<< Comment #10 @ 12:29 CST, 30 November 2011 >>
By Bulgaria Nzr0  - Reply to #9
Geometrically it might be a bit big, but structurally I think it's small as you're never more than 2 jumps away from having a line of sight on the enemy.
<< Comment #12 @ 15:35 CST, 30 November 2011 >>
By France Sylver  - Reply to #10
Yes, I agree, that's why I said it might be too "wide open". Badly.
Maybe remove at least rg.
Dunno. I'm just doing pointless suggestions.

I don't think it's that big. It's smaller than Campgrounds and Furious Heights I think. It's not that wide open either imo. The only really open area is the main PG area, but for the most part it feels pretty tight.

<< Comment #22 @ 23:39 CST, 27 December 2011 >>
I liked Industrial the most. One of the maps - the one played in the final map of the finals - is horseshit, but I mean that in the most sincere and respectful manner possible.

I have no idea what it's called but it's too big. Take the ratio of all maths and cut it by 1/2. For me it just doesn't capture the spirit of CPM gameplay. It seems more Q3 like in that somebody can just run and run and run.

The map with the teleport on the floor has a lot of promise. Terifire or whatever his name is, showed me a personalized style. I liked watching him play around the armors.
