Looks awesome, love the textures and shapes! One question, how do I operate pk3 files? I still run vanilla q2 and know nothing else, it says margaal25.bsp missing when I try the map command

Margaal25 ( Small Single & Multi player map ). Awesome work Margaal25, as always! Is there any chance you can provide a bsp for regular quake 2 as before, so we can all enjoy the map? I realize that KmQ2 looks cool but it's not currently suited for wider multi-player experience, which leaves a lot of us left out. Also making maps in this custom environment will result in only a small fraction of people experiencing & enjoying your map, and for a short time. Unless KmQ2 undergoes some major development to compete with the likes of Q2 Pro in terms of multiplayer, it'll be hard to adopt on a mass scale. It's a great engine, that definatelly needs to be supported, but it still needs some work in key areas. I'd hope the mappers here appreciate their maps being played continuously, instead of just once or twice by someone into SP. It's worth mentioning that there are now other advanced multi-player clients out there like Q2Pro that are all inclusive, fully support custom mods, look awesome and are also now wildly popular online! I've recently made the switch to Q2Pro and I got to say there's no going back. It's already fully suited for MP, and since it's still being developed, I'm sure they can accommodate a range of feature requests as well. If you're looking for MD3 models, JPEG/PNG textures, clean ZIP packfiles (.pkz) it already supports all that. And if you're looking to just add some lazarus features, there are mods that add support for that as well. Full list of Q2 Pro features: skuller.net/q2pro/Due to Q2 Pro's fully rewritten and optimized OpenGL renderer the textures (even old ones) look vivid, sharp and amazing, unlike anything I've seen before on Q2. So for most part you don't even need HD packs which aren't really all that true to original Quake 2 textures. This new engine must use some modern rendering techniques and anti-aliasing methods to have things looking so sharp and striking. It blew me away how old textures could ever look this good. I think it's worth looking into, and the latest version comes bundled with Q2 Starter package in order to cater to a wider audience. It's real smart, since it makes old and new content main stream. Even people who have never owned quake 2 can get this package and be off playing your maps in minutes. I've seen people who've never played quake 2 getting into into as late as 2014 : ) So it's a win win for old and new content. More about it here along with a few screenshots: leray.proboards.com/thread/3541/play-quake-easy-steps-started As you know quite a few people still do play Quake 2 online, and it'd be a shame if they were left out, especially when your latest maps are this good  I can help port the models, and lazarus support, so it's just the bsp file that probably requires recompiling into alternative version as before. Hope you understand my concerns. Here's a few of the active servers: tastyspleen.net/quake/servers/list.cgiCheers, Null |

Thanks Margaal!
The map is looking great, but the pack file is missing some models:
models/mapobjects/plants/swamplilyall.md2
models/mapobjects/plants/swampplant1.md2
models/mapobjects/plants/swampplant2.md2
models/mapobjects/animals/fish1/fish1.md2

Yup, the package appears to be complete now. We've had a play through your map at least 8 times on the server today and everyone loved it. They said you were getting almost as good as Maric, and you're only on your 25th installment, which is real impressive. It'll be real interesting to see what you'll come up with next, so I hope you don't plan on retiring anytime soon, since you're doing your best work now If you need any more models just let me know, I have an entire library of .md2 and .md3 props that I can share. |

Finally got around to play your map Margaal, I really liked the texture work and the large amount of detail, it shows that you put in some serious work into this map. There were some "advanced" stuff happening too that I don't know how to do yet with QuarK (exploding computer), which is good because I get inspiration and learn from your map. Thumbs up for all the grunts I got to kill too, easily the most fun monster to kill in the game if you ask me One question, if I use textures from Rogue/Xatrix expansion packs, must I extract them from the .pak file if someone with only vanilla q2 wants to play the map? Again, well done. |
