Hey folks,

Any demos uploaded before today (April 10th) will be unavailable for a few days while I migrate the web host to a new location. They will be back as soon as the new machine is online. All new demos will be unaffected by this change and will be available.

More lovely Q2Online updates!

by darksaint on February 16, 2014 at 11:43 am

More news from the Q2Online front!

 

 hifi has added more features and improvements!

    AQ2 menu and default configuration updated
      ‘special2′ alias to switch between special and pistol
      default ‘Q’ binding is now ‘special2′
      ‘Advanced Bindings’ menu with more bindings (sniper lens etc.)
      ‘Radio Bindings’ menu with some common radio messages
      hitsounds (cl_hitsounds and menu)
      Radio gender selection (cl_radiogender and menu)
      Automatic scaling for HUD, console and menu
      Building is done on Debian Wheezy so the binaries should work on older Linux distributions again.

Mac players — don’t fret!  hifi is still very interested in getting a proper Mac build up and running alongside the Windows and Linux builds, and with the Mac dev machine he has received, he pledges that Mac users would provide ‘first-class q2online/q2pro support for the Mac as long as q2online lives’

Stay tuned for more AQ2 news!

Q2Online Updated!

by darksaint on January 5, 2014 at 3:11 pm

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year!

 

Our resident coder  hifi has released some new updates to Q2Online. No more random JNLP files or Java alerts, as well as several backend improvements, highlight the list of changes to Q2Online. If you haven’t tried it yet, head over to the Downloads menu and grab the latest version!

 

For our Mac players, the current version you have will continue to function normally, but no new updates will be applied for Mac users, unless of course you would like to donate a Mac to  hifi for testing purposes ;)

In standard fashion, the Fins claim the top spots, with the top two having significantly more challenges and wins. Participation was decent at first, then leveled off later. The admins will be using the information and suggestions gathered from the players discovered in this cup to create future cups and tournaments, so stay tuned!

In other news, there’s a new addition to the AQ2 family, my newborn son arrived on October 11th and he has been a handful! Here’s proof:

Week 1 Cup report

by darksaint on October 8, 2013 at 8:26 am

Greetings folks!

We’re one week into the 2013 Autumn Cup, and the challenges and matches keep rolling in!  There have been a couple bumps in the road, but I think moving forward we will see smoother sailing.

With a commanding lead in the ratings, Wibc Quad heads up the standings after week 1, tailed by clans madcock and Stalinets.  There’s still plenty of games to be played, so I wish you all good luck!

Also, stay tuned for new developments regarding new cups coming soon!
