aprq2_v1.211.zip

This is a small and relatively unknown Quake 2 source port. Almost all the configuration is made by editing the config file, which is surely not the most comfortable way to do it.
There are not so much graphic extensions here: motion blur, decals, water waves and stencil buffer shadows. This port also supports High Resolution textures.

Installation instructions:

1.Download and unpack port files to the directory with Quake 2 game files (this was 'E:\games\Quake II' in my case).
2.Run'aq2.exe' once and then exit the game using 'Esc' button to generate the config file.
3.Open 'baseq2/aprconfig.cfg' from original game's directory. Set the following parameters to the following values:
set s_khz "48"
set gl_decals_max "4096"
set gl_decals_time "3000"
set gl_decals "1"
set gl_ext_max_anisotropy "16"
set gl_ext_texture_filter_anisotropic "1"
set gl_waterwaves "1"
set gl_shadows "2"
set gl_motionblur "1" (you'll possibly have to add this parameter to the list)

edit: 02-02-2010 Just_Jim - personally I use (set gl_motionblur "0") and No Hi-Res Textures or Models - I like this engine Old School, but I set the resolution to my Monitor Settings

set gl_mode "-1"
set r_customheight "900"
set r_customwidth "1440"
set gl_texturemode "GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR"

P.S. - I need to figure out how to get Music to Play, Jim
