How to watch demos using Quake2 Demo.

1. First download Quake 2 Demo & 3.20 patch.
* [ Quake 2 Demo ] 37MB
* [ Quake 2 Patch v3.20 ] 18MB

** You don't have to use the installer for the demo just extract it using winrar or winzip. Find the data folder and rename it Quake2Demo or whatever & copy it to where you want. Thats it.

** Install the 3.20 patch.

2. Now download Rich's enhanced Quake 2 & Rich's enhanced OpenGL renderer.
* [ Rich's enhanced Quake2 ] Download r1q2.zip at the bottom of the page & extract it into your Q2 folder.

* [ Rich's enhanced OpenGL renderer ] Download r1gl-0.1.4.zip & extract it into your Q2 folder. Rename ref_gl.dll to ref_gl.dllOLD & now rename ref_r1gl.dll to ref_gl.dll and you are set. Now you should be able to use custom resolutions among other things. Read the readme.txt for more info.

Some basic commands in my autoexec.cfg to get you started. (autoexec.cfg should be in your baseq2 folder.)

set vid_fullscreen "1"
set vid_forcewidth "1680"
set vid_forceheight "1050"

set gl_ext_texture_filter_anisotropic "1" //enable anisotropic filtering
set gl_ext_max_anisotropy "16.0" //set maximum anisotropy
set gl_ext_generate_mipmap "1" //use hardware/driver mipmaps

set gl_modulate "5"
set vid_gamma "0.9"
set intensity "2"

Of course change the res & color settings that suit your computer.

** When launching Q2 always use r1q2.exe & not quake2.exe.

In your baseq2 folder, create a folder and rename it demos. Put all your demos in here.

To view demos: bring down the console & type demomap thresh.dm2
Note: It's important to type the demo extention .dm2 or it won't work.
