There are like three that I know of and they all look like opengl quake II, which is WTFGROSS.

I don't even need a full blown source port. I just want two things:

1. Widescreen w/ FOV options
2. Software mode, or something that looks just like it.

There is an executable that allows for widescreen in software mode but it crashes when you go under water and is totally corrupted on AMD cards...

Do any of you guys know of something that will run Quake II like this? I've got an itch that needs scratchin'...

MH has been doing things in Quake 2 world,look at his blog. http://mhquake.blogspot.com/

hopefully this'll be usefull for you:
Quake2 patch to v3.20.exe

its a patch for quake2, which patches it to version 3.20 which implents widescreen into quake

dunno if it might be the same file you already had, if so nvm
with this patch quake doesnt crash when you go underwater.

although i myself dun use it, i use quake2 EGL for playing quake2, love the fancy effects and hi-res textures and hi-poly model replacements it supports

Yeah, I've played around with that some time ago, but ran into some issues and eventually lost patience...I should check it out again. Basically, a DirectQ for Quake II would be amazing.

The 3.20 patch goes up to 1600x1200 but doesn't support 1920x1080...which is the resolution I use Thanks though!

what exactly is it that you don't like about gl mode?

if using FTE to play Q2, try these:
r_lightmap_saturation 0
gl_texturemode nn
first kills off the ugly yellow lighting, second makes the walls all pixely.

I don't like the way it looks and love the way software mode looks.

r_lightmap_saturation 0 and gl_texturemode nn do what you then I will forever be in debt to you.

I can't wait to go home and try those out *sequels like a school girl*

The beautiful thing about DirectQ, is it can be taylored to look like Software Quake or GLQuake, all through use of filtering/aliasing/etc , or lack there of for software look.

With top fuel dragster horsepower, oh ya,,!

I've done some work on Quake II recently but it's just something I fool around with from time to time rather than being a serious project. Unfortunately any still active source port work seems very fragmented, with not much centralized communiation between projects, so it's quite difficult to get into anything serious. Specific example: there's no equivalent of the activity that goes on at Inside 3D, so unless you have a good awareness of what the main issues are that need fixing, what the main essential features are for a Quake II engine, and so on, things tend to end up trailing off and you lose interest after a certain period of time (normally I pick it up again about a year later and remember how much better a game it is than Quake).

Mostly nowadays I use it as a vehicle for experimental work - the recent stuff I did was an almost pure GL3.3 port, for example. I think I even released the code, so far as I took it - I certainly circulated it around a few people anyway. If I ever pick up my ideas for real-time lighting again that's probably where I'll do them too (although I expect that real-time lighting without reflected light won't look too good).

hmm strange. ill look, i think i mightve uploaded a wrong patch then. cuz the one i used before i discovered egl quake did support 1920x1080

i think the patch i used was 3.23, try searching google for that patch
