Quake 2 config files for Stohgee's Q2 Guide
By Sc'Ariel
Here are the Quake II config files necessary to make Stohgee's excellent "Vanilla Quake 2 / 3.24 Unofficial Patch / Music" work properly.

It's my observation that the image files (exe and dll) presented by Stohgee have been slightly modified and recompiled in order to allow for modern computer folder structures, and allow for easy selection of screen sizes.

Although Stohgee's 'Base' config file works fine, I've included mine as well, for the sake of consistency. These can all be edited by NotePad, or any text editor.

I've set the initial screen size to 1600x1024. I have also increased the brightness a little, to insure that the screens are visible. Use the Q2 menu system to adjust to taste.

I've also slightly increased the 'Field of View' (set fov "97") parameter from it's default of 95, to 97, as I felt that I wanted to see slightly more of the world, not just stretch the usual view to be bigger. I find a value of "97" still looks comfortable. Higher values make things look a bit odd.

The following config files make the Xatrix episode function properly. I have combined and edited Stoghee's and my config files.

Should you be unable to run any of the episodes from the Steam menu, set the compatibility mode of 'quake2.exe' to "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)".

BaseQ2 config.cfg
Go to your baseQ2 folder, find config.cfg and rename it to something like 'config.cfg-save'.
Create a new "config.cfg" using Notepad, or any text editor. Copy and paste the config text below into the file, and put it in the baseQ2 folder.

One line in this file was causing Steam to generate HTML formatting errors, so I placed it at the bottom of this section. Find the line that says:

//--->delete this line and insert the line at the very bottom in its place

and replace it with the line at the bottom that binds "invprev" to the open square bracket key.

Note the keys to powerups:
i = invulnerability
p = power shield

Here is your new baseQ2 config file:

// This file is generated by Quake2, do not modify.
// Use autoexec.cfg for adding custom settings.

Rogue config.cfg
Go to your rogue folder, find config.cfg and rename it to something like 'config.cfg-save'.
Create a new "config.cfg" using Notepad, or any text editor. Copy and paste the config text below into the file, and put it in the rogue folder.

One line in this file was causing Steam to generate HTML formatting errors, so I placed it at the bottom of this section. Find the line that says:

and replace it with the line at the bottom that binds "invprev" to the open square bracket key.

Powerups:

Note that I have also assigned keys to weapons that are unique to this episode:

f = defender sphere
j = plasma beam
m = tesla
n = prox launcher
r = hunter sphere
v = chain fist
y = ETF rifle

Thanks for this.

I vaguely remember that there was a way to set up a config file to throw a grenade immedaitely on pressing a key. Anyone reading this know how to do this?
Michael 15 Jun, 2023 @ 3:07pm 
thank you for putting all config files for each game, friend! you went to great lengths here thank you : )

It works, though you forgot to set cl_xatrix_music to "1" in the Xatrix config.
Also, Ogg Vorbis music is disabled, and the music volume is set to zero here, but you can just tweak it yourself in the options menu.
