=========================================================================== Archive Maintainer : currently hosten on github.com Update to : Quake2 "AceMod" Source V3.06202015 Advanced engine needed : Coded on Yamagi Quake, custom "AceMod" build also available on my github. Primary purpose : All-around mod, combines mission pack assets and other tweaks.
Title : Quake II: AceMod Filename : q2_acemod_v3x.zip Release date : 6-20-2015 Author : Amaury R. "boxoaces/spaceace" Email Address : Other Files By Author : Misc. Author Info :
Description : This mod started as a successor to my old Doom/Skulltag project, basically a randomizer that "blends" in anything the game has to offer. Also are some assorted tweaks to gameplay, engine, etc.. The custom engine that I played around with is similar to Vanilla/Yamagi Q2 - just added Psychospaz/KMQ2 particle effects and other small changes. This is basically an upload of the code needed to run this mod, extract the needed models, sounds, etc.. from the mission packs into the acemod folder (rogue monster models for last, as they have extra animation frames).
Additional Credits to : Psychospaz/KMQuake2 for the particle system I used as a base, Quakesrc.org and other "lost" dll tutorials, and a throwback nod to this readme template. Xatrix/Rogue/Zaero for the mission pack code (modded to fit).

This is just a random experiment I've been playing with recently, Quake II is one of my favorite games. You may use this to learn and play with, the game is old and I just wanted to see what I could cook up with the source code nowadays. I'm not responsible if your microwave starts going rick rolled after flipping pancakes. Have a nice day.
