Q2pro configurator
2008-12-29 12:55 | kabysdoh
Q2pro configurator was created few days ago. It contains the description of all commands for both client and server, and when you configure it right, you can save your settings to cfg by pressing the key.
Credits go to st!gmata (for the idea and support) and skuller (for the realisation).

Christmas Special by Gerdt
2008-12-26 18:07 | Gravgon
We've had many different kind of content on this website over the years. We've had interviews, guides, columns, previews, reviews. But the one I'm introducing you to is something special. Maybe in another season, it wouldn't have made it to this website but it's Christmas so it's the perfect seaso to give Gerdt a chance.
Quite literally, this article is a collection of various honest opinions gathered by Gerdt about his fellow HBQ team mate arch. Maybe this can be seen as an homage or a tribute to his favourite bullying prey. After all it's Christmas and who knows what might be going through people's head and heart.
May the good times and treasures of the present become the golden memories of tomorrow.
Q2scene wish you lots of frags, joy and happiness.
MERRY CHRISTMAS ! !

Sounds on playground
2008-12-18 11:55 | kabysdoh
As many players noticed, sounds on the server q2.playground.ru was bugged. SkulleR has found and resolved the problem when he got an access to the server. It was r1q2 server cmd sv_nc_visibilitycheck 2.
We asked SkulleR to explain the trouble:
This cmd reduces the area of PVS (potencially visible set) on the stage of a decision which entities updates to send to each the client.
The idea of sv_nc_visibilitycheck could be not so bad if not accociated sounds bug of q2, which excist since the born of q2.
The thing is that q2 network protocol provides sound optimiziation, e.g. co-ordinates of sound aren't sent, if the playes-source should be visible for player-reciever (in server opinion).
But in this case server uses original (unmodified) PVS, while when it actually sends co-ordinates - it uses reduced PVS by sv_nc_visibilitycheck.
So, server actually doesn't send new co-ordinates at all (neither in sound packet itself, nor as part of entity update), provided the player entity in question is still in PVS but not directly visible - and so, you hear the sound from that spot, where you saw the player last time.
This far all server admins, who use r1q2 server, should make sure, that they have sv_nc_visibilitycheck set to 0.
Updated:
We have also added 3 ports on opentdm:
q2.playground.ru:27914, -5, -6.
Hopefully these changes will make playground a proper server for offical games.
