No, this is not a typo. This really is a map for Quake II.
Don't know if anyone in here is still playing q2, but I thought I'd show it to you anyway. Hope that's ok.
It's a DM-map designed for 3 players. One atrium, lots of vertical action.
The map is available from
my website or via this
> download link <.
Shot 1:
Shot 2:
Shot 3:
Shot 4:
Known issues:
* no clipping yet, having trouble with the clip-texture
* one VIS error at stairs near lasers (don't ask me why this happened)
Feedback is appreciated of course.

Unfortunately I dont have Q2 any more, because this looks really rather good.

Is there a .txt for Q2E realtime lighting?

Not yet, because I don't have a clue what that is and how to do it.
All jokes aside: sounds interesting, but I didn't find info on how to create one at the Q2E website. If you point me to a document/tutorial that explains how to make one, you might get one. :icon31:

It's prety easy install Q2E (grab the newest version from a link in their forums, the one on the website is outdated), start the game in developer mode with cheats enabled, load your map drop to console and /editlights then bind a key to /addlight.
Just noclip around your map and hit the key wherever you want a realtime light added. They work just like D3/Q4 lights.
When you're done use /savelights to write to the textfile and then /editlights again to drop back to normal.

@Amphetamine:
Got myself Q2E beta 0.68 from the forums (which almost drove me mad btw, it's a pain in the ass to find things between all those tons of kiddie posts and vast signatures) and played around with the lighting stuff a bit. I'll most likely create a light file for the final version but it seems to much work atm to make it look really good.
There may be good documentation/hints on how to do this fast & easy hidden somewhere in those forums, but I need a few hours sleep before I dare to go there again. Q2E is pretty cool though, I really like it. The water's awsome. I've had beta 0.4 lurking on my HDD for months but never really tried it, shame on me.
@v1l3:
I've also got Q2 from that Q4 special edition. Took me some effort to get it but I really wanted Q2 and the Addons. :icon14:

Very Nice! Blows away a good amount of the ol' school ones (minus map marics83tkc).
