Hi all - well, I'm not a newb to Q2, having played it since release, but a newb here. Hi! Hope I'm not violating any protocol with a request, but I am really hoping some kind soul will help.
I have been hunting for Wyrm2 - we all remember that mod I hope? - for a long time now. Yes, it's true that LOX has a lot of what Wyrm2 did, but I am also a long-time lover of Wyrm for Quake, which is easy to find on any number of servers, and I remember that like Wyrm, Wyrm2 had its own distinct charm.
The dev was a guy named Josep Del Rio I think. He had a site up for many years, but it's long gone - just like any backups I might have had of it unfortunately. Yeah, my bad. If anyone has this wonderful mod or knows where I might find it, I'd be very grateful.
cheers,
Mike.

I found this site with a download, but not sure if it is any good. www.gamefront.com/files/listing/pub2/Quake_3_Arena/Modifications/wyrm2/-W1  |

Thanks very much Wixen1 for that really fast reply! Unfortunately even though the URL has "wyrm2" in it, it is actually an alpha release of Wyrm3 for Quake III Arena. Thanks so much for checking though! |

Thank you Margaal! I'll be darned, it's a Wyrm2 beta - will have to give it a try and will report back. Thanks again, last time I tried gamers.org they seemed to be shut down, I see I should have checked back. |

Wll. I can't get this beta to work at all. I extracted it to a folder called "wyrm" and tried running it both from command line and from within the game (using the drop-down console from the ~ key), and it just freezes and crashes my Quake 2. Guess I'll stick with LOX unless someone can find the full version. Thanks -
Mike.

The one download that still exists is the Wyrm2000.exe one, but I think that will work. I won't have time to install and test until tonight - not at home right now - but will report back here. If it does, I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a LOT of exotic weapon choices with their Q2. Hey, I did a search with some of the filenames and found the Beta 2 here: www.atomicgamer.com/files/4873/wyrm2b2-zip and the beta 3 here: www.atomicgamer.com/files/4876/wyrm2b3-zipThings are looking up! I can't imagine why Google did such a crap job finding them when I searched for "wyrm2" or "wyrm 2" - having the actual filenames really did the job. Thanks again Wixen1! EDIT: CHECK THIS OUT TOO: www.quaddicted.com/webarchive/ftp.telefragged.com/wyrm/I think the Beta 3 Zip is the one I used to use. I think Wyrm2000.exe had issues. Will report... |

I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a LOT of exotic weapon choices with their Q2. Does it come with blondes, redheads, brunettes cause we need more women back in the Q2 scene, ...nothing better then getting railed by the sweetness that only a womens touch has. Plus they always make you feel better when they kick your ass hehe, ...welcome back into the scene, ..always nice to get a returning old school "noob" back. Don't know much about this mod but I dl'd an extensive amount of stuff since my return back, will go through my files and see if I have anything on this mod if you don't already have what your looking for. Seems like Wixen1 [Q2C] + Margaal got u pretty squared away though. Also, check in with uzi9mmauto, he's been on the down low for awhile but he may also have some extra info for you. Peace |

Thanx Crypt for that warm welcome. I remember getting railed and otherwise mowed down by sweet young things in the day...haven't done any DM for many a year, but fond memories of all-night sessions at my bud's place, huge supplies of beer on hand, my usual kamikaze-idiot style generally working well for me. Happy to add that the beta 3 is exactly what I remember from back then. Happy that gamers.org is still alive too, most of my favorite Quake mods are alive there, plenty of maps too. There are still two Quake mods I'd love to lay hands on, but I think they are history. One was just called "weapons" I think but it ain't the one that's at gamers.org. The other was something like gunsb1.zip - they both rocked, no other mod had the weapons these dudes had developed. They were sweet, though nowhere near as many weapons as some of your huge ones like Killer Quake Pak or Wyrm. We shall never see their like again. Happy Saturday - Mike. |

Been away much too long, playing and enjoying life and the summer, and now I'm back to bother you with yet another question! First of all yes - wyrm2b3.zip is the goods - that's Wyrm2 as I remember it. Mighty good collection of weapons and powerups. All beta Zips and executable installers are available here: www.quaddicted.com/files/mirrors/ftp.telefragged.com/wyrm/. Second: I am seeking an old Q2 SP map, let's see if anyone remembers. It had an open courtyard surrounded by natural-looking rocky walls. Off to one side was a pretty elaborate temple or castle-like structure with some really nice details, allowing rooftop fighting. At one point the seemingly solid rock wall cracks open, and a bunch of machine gun guards and grunts spill out and attack you. Very cool idea - I miss that map! Any info greatly appreciated...and hope this finds everyone well. |
