btw khightmare im trying to setup a kmquake2 server
ive noticed that maxplayers for coop is locked at 4
ive also noticed that on varios server browsers like qsb and quake2server.com the hostname of the server im trying to run does not show up with kmquake2 but works with r1q2 ded server

and is it possable for clients like q2pro and r1q2 to work with kmquake2 server
if so what is the line to adjust the server protocol in kmquake2 , to set it to normal protocol

and mmybe http downloads in future releases and maybe even support for location files
ok ty
sorry to bother every1
bye from macanah

1. KMQ2 is not currently supported on Windows 8, as I am unable to test compatbility. Also make sure that Quake2 isn't installed under C:\Program Files (x86), but under a path will full user write access (like C:\Quake2).

2. Maxclients can't exceed 4 in coop because all maps that support coop only have 4 coop starts.

3. KMQ2 uses its own unique server protocol (version 56) due to increased limits and new entity fields. THIS CAN'T BE CHANGED. Server browsers may ignore KMQ2 servers because of this.

4. I forgot to check that cvar when downloading from vanilla Q2 servers. It will be fixed in the next update.

5. HTTP downloading is on my todo list.

I'm running Win8.1 64-bit and MKQ2 doesn't have issues for me, but I keep my Q2 content under "c:\games\quake2". I also downloaded the code and that runs good for me too, so I'd imagine his issues could be the other ones you said.

hi knightmare macanah here
is there neway u could alter the protocol for servers which use kmquake2,
so any version of quake2 are compatable with a server which uses kmquake2 for server

clients like - q2pro - r1q2 and even mac clients

if u make this protocol change for kmquake2 im sure it would b quite popular cause u have features like more max editcs with kmquake2

ok thats all

It would involve removing almost all of KMQ2's original core server-side features (increased coordinate range, increased MAX_MODELS, MAX_SOUNDS, MAX_IMAGES, more HUD slots, near-immunity to overflows, new entity state fields, etc), so it's not gonna happen.

Besides, clients connecting to such a hypothetical server with only MAX_EDICTS increased will have to have been compiled with an identical MAX_EDICTS value to avoid parsing errors when the server has more entities than the original limit.

You should just use an R1Q2 dedicated server if you want compatibility with all Q2 clients.
