My pet project for the past 5 years (off and on) is finally in beta:
http://quake2world.net

I'd love to play it with you guys.. let me know if you're interested, and/or pop into the game's IRC channel: #quetoo on irc.freenode.net.

Oh snap. When I'm actually home, I'll have to dig up my Q2 disc to try this out.

No Q2 disc required, homie. It's a 100% free, standalone game.

I did actually try it out a couple of days ago and noticed it didn't need the Q2 disc, pretty sweet!

Unfortunately, I couldn't get the client to connect to any servers.

You ran the Updater, right? The snapshot that you download is only a couple MB. You have to run Update.exe to pull down the latest executables and game data.

Yep, ran the Updater but still no go. I'll run the Updater again and will let you know.

OK, got it to server without a hitch after running another Update. Unfortunately no one was on.

But I did give it a run around on the different maps. Wish the one server running Edge wasn't in spectator mode. Engine looks awesome, I didn't see any glaring bugs.

Only observations I made were the physics seem like they came more from Q3A than Q2. And I did notice that it has the Q3A gun set instead of Q2's.

So you're trying to make a hybrid of the two, or this is just a proof of concept? Excellent job either way, very impressive.

Oh, and get someone to map up Quake DM3 "Abandoned Base" on this bitch. I can't believe to this day how that map hasn't been remade. It's like no one wants to mess with its greatness.

I downloaded it and ran the updater.

It looks great!

The lightning gun is wicked.

Looks good. Unfortunately, DSL on base gives me 200+ pings everywhere. Its a terrible internet connection (capped @ 1mpbs, and its very inconsistent).
