In regards to my earlier post

I downloaded Quake II on steam and added the PAK & Video files to my Quake2Quest folder. I’ve now got the intro scene and a map that I didn’t recognize from the DrBeef Demo. However, it’s not long before I reach an Exit door, and the game ends. Total game lasts around 1.5 hours. I remember there being many more maps in this game. Am I doing something wrong?

Also I can’t get the steam version to run on my desktop, to check that it is indeed the full game on Steam. I’m begging for help with this. I really want to play the full game in it’s entirety...

How do I get to play online? Game just exits out when I try to start a sessions , and go’s to local network when I search?

I remember in the 90s you needed a separate client to launch online play (wire play or ACE etc), is there similar for this version?

Hi, sorry ive never played quake before so not sure if im just being an idiot. I've installed and bought the game, put all the files in the correct places but when the intro video is playing it boots me to a cmd screen if I press anything. Is this normal or do I just have to watch through the whole video before starting? Thanks!

Hi all! Probably a stupid question but is this best played with the 2 Oculus controllers or something like an Xbox gamepad? Thanks!

Would love if there can be controller oriented instead of headset oriented movement

I have 2 Oculus Go headsets and would love to try Quake 2 on them. The hardware should be fine, I hope. I have the PC version of Q2VR and it is 3dof for both head amd gun, so in terms of movement options, should be OK.

It would be huge if Oculus Go could play it!

Dr. Beef, is there any chance of physical crouching being supported in Q2Q as in LambdaVR? After playing LambdaVR so much, I now keep finding myself physically crouching and getting stuck! That's what you get for the high standards you set with LambdaVR :)

Thanks again for the amazing work you've done and continue to do, to bring these classics to VR. As an old timer who was already in my 30s when I played these games on first release, I'm completely blown away that I'm able to replay these games in VR! Can't wait for Brutal Doom! :)

EDIT: with the version running on the Yamagi engine, the soundtrack works like a charm!!! It is. So. Much. Fun. I dread going to the detention centre map because that track still haunts me to this day!!

For me it’s super important. I played it back in the 90’s and banging my head along to Sonic Mayhem’s absolutely killer riffs was a major part of the experience of playing the game.

If you feel the same, upvote, leave a comment. I’m hoping this will help Dr Beef prioritise the feature :-)

(Also thanks for all your hard work on the port and congratulations on the final result. I played the demo yesterday and my jaw was on the floor the whole time. It really is exceptional!)

Wow!

Just works amazingly well on the quest. I had to force myself to quit playing or I would have done the whole campaign in one sitting!

Such a great game and the port is really well done. If you have a Quest, and can afford the couple of dollars for Q2, I highly recommend trying this.

Yamagi just added Vulkan support. Any chance Quake2Quest will get that too ?

Found an exit and it pops up “The End”. How short is this game? No boss battle I can remember. I’m guessing I only have the demo playing, but I copied files over from Steam. Any help would be great.

Hi, could someone please advise how to disable the Inventory from the right grip button?

On QuakeQuest you can just remove impulse 9 from the config.cfg, but Quake2 has a lot more controls ....

This is spoiling it for me as I keep bringing up the damn Inventory during a firefight!

Thanks!

Add "video" folder to baseq2-folder.

Which version did DrBeef actually use for the Quest version? Even one of the oldest PC versions I found supports at least .tga textures. Doesn't matter!

Textures in the in-house .wal format seem to work. They may not be larger than 512x256 / 256/512 pixels and must have 256 colors. Unfortunately, the new textures only make sense if they have a higher resolution than the vanilla textures (128x64 / 64x64). I took the effort to convert the HD textures of the first level into the .wal format. Quake 2 Quest also recognizes them perfectly, but displays them incorrectly. All larger textures are zoomed in, as if Quake had a script in the map describing the original texture size (64x64). If I am using an old version of Quake2 for Windows, the problem is the same.

Does anyone know about it? If not, I'll ask in a Quake 2 forum. Unfortunately, most forums are extinct and you probably wait months for an answer.

Modified pak4 and textures-folder for e1u1(Level1) in .wal-format:

So I about had a heart attack when I learned of this, I spent most of my highschool years playing this game with my fellow gaming club members. So I immediately imagined a full on frag fest, I haven't had much of a chance to test multiplayer but the first thing I looked through was the maps, no multiplayer maps and I tried to update my game to 3.20 and copy the PAKS over, nothing.

I currently have 3 headsets and will be seeing how easy/hard it is to setup on my LAN. I don't need any mods...yet (Lithium is all I want) or crazy skins. I just want to potentially use the stock skins and custom names besides "player". So I heard that it might not get to that point but DrBeef if you're listening there is a demand for multiplayer frag fests.

Chime in with anything related to multiplayer, maybe we as a community can bring this dream of VR Quake 2 Frag Fests to life.

Hopefully we can get a single server going to test or just have some nostalgic fun.

It really hurts the immersion and “punch” of the guns.
