JohnnyTheWolf Posted June 11, 2016 Is there a website akin of Doomworld for the Quake series? I am asking, because I am currently looking for a mod that would increase Quake II's notoriously low difficulty, but Google does not seem to be of any help. Thanks in advance! PS: Yes, I know there is a "Quakeworld" and, yes, I know it has nothing to do with Doomworld. 0 Share this post Link to post

Spectre01 Posted June 12, 2016 There was a thread with the same topic very recently. Check the replies there. https://www.doomworld.com/vb/everything-else/88595-we-have-doom-world-why-not-quake-world/ 0 Share this post Link to post
JohnnyTheWolf Posted June 13, 2016 Thanks, but none of these seems to help me with what I am looking for, i.e. a difficulty mod for Quake II. 0 Share this post Link to post
JohnnyTheWolf Posted June 13, 2016 I have found nothing of interest on ModDB. Also, I tried extracting PAK files to see if I can edit weapon and monster values myself, but there does not seem to be a .cfg file for that. :/ 0 Share this post Link to post
Voros Posted June 13, 2016 JohnnyTheWolf said:Then how do you do it? Can you give me a list of all the filenames and extension included, here? I don't have Q2, and I'm not sure if its like Q1's system. Also, if there isn't a config file, then search in files that seem like text files(or at least you think its a text file) 0 Share this post Link to post

Also, if there isn't a config file, then search in files that seem like text files(or at least you think its a text file) The only config files I have found in pak0.PAK, pak1.PAK and pak2.PAK seem to be multiplayer loadouts. As for the file extensions, there only seem to be dm2, pcx, bsp, pcx, wal and md2. I have some experience with editing Doom 3, so the folder structure looks familiar, but I cannot find anything that looks like config files for weapons and monsters. 0 Share this post Link to post
snapshot Posted June 13, 2016 Bsp files are for maps, MD2 are for models, Also which quake are you trying to mod ? Quake 2 has no loadouts . 0 Share this post Link to post
JohnnyTheWolf Posted June 13, 2016 Nothing too fancy. I want to make Quake II more difficult by increasing enemy health and possibly damage too. Maybe also increase player's health and ammo cap too. 0 Share this post Link to post
wildweasel Posted June 14, 2016 In order to make these changes, if I remember correctly, you'd need to compile a new game_x86.dll. I don't recall where the Quake 2 tools can be found nowadays, though. 0 Share this post Link to post
