NOTICE: This is a quick and dirty hack to get steam to run Quake2XP. 
There is a distinct possibility that this will also load other engines, but this is untested! <- lend a hand?

This in no way is affiliated with the aforementioned Q2XP, or id Software.

This is a homebrew application, if it malfunctions and causes the end of the universe... I cannot be held responsible.

I Totally_Lost here-by state that this software has no license, and no warranty, so use at your own risk!


Now that that is over:


Thanks for downloading, and please support Kirkbarnes and krigssvin. After all this wouldn't be needed without them!


Installation: 			Installer coming soon!

Extract quake2.exe, q2hack.cfg and Q2hack.config.exe from the archive to your Quake 2 install folder. (make sure you have Q2XP properly installed, or this is useless)

Note: I recommend you rename the original quake2.exe, instead of overwriting, this makes changes undo-able!


You’re done!


Usage:		There is a config program now so manual edits are not needed, but it’s up to you

Inside the q2hack.cfg file is where we will put command line arguments to be read by Quake2XP.exe, and this file is formatted thusly.

[Executable]
Name=Quake2xp.exe

Now some of you will say "Whaaaat?", but this is so we can (untested) change the engine, and use say kmquake, or any of the myriad other rewrites.

Following the executable is where we will put the arguments.  For example; +set developer 1 would look like this...

[Options]
Dev=+set developer 1
Log=+set logfile 2
Net=+set net_compatibility 1
Map=+map 1on1   			<- notice no .bsp the engines will add this, don’t put it here or your map will not load
Game=+game rogue			<- this has been tested, but not extensively

At the time of this release these are the only supported options, however this list can grow if you want it to.

Send any concerns/bug reports/suggestions to me on the Forge!

Thanks again for Downloading!

Happy Fragging,
Totally_Lost AKA Spilt_Blood
