Download quake2xp for free. QuakeIIxp is a multi-platform (windows, linux and freeBSD (experemental)) graphics port of the game Quake II developed by Id Software. Completely updated rendering takes full advantage of the latest graphics cards to get the perfect picture, preserving the original style of the game. Install Quake 2 (I bought mine from GOG but just realized it came with my Quake 4 disc, eh never mind) 2. Download latest version of Quake2xp 3. Extract contents of.

Add-ons, more commonly known as mods, usually come in a folder in a zip file. For instance, if you downloaded Prydon Gate, it will come in a folder called PRYDON. To install this addon, place it in your Quake directory, (so it is alongside the 'id1' folder). For instance, if your Quake directory is C:QUAKE, make it C:QUAKEPRYDON.

Congratulations, it has been installed. Now how to run it. You will either need to use the DOS Prompt or the Windows Run command, either way run the Quake executable, followed by the -gamecommand-line argument, followed by the folder name. For example:

C:QUAKEGLQuake.exe -game prydon

Some addons (read the readme first) may require more memory to be allocated. For this, use the -winmem command-line argument in DOSQuake and the -heapsize argument in WinQuake and GLQuake (and all engines based on them).

There is an easier way to run the official mission packs, Scourge of Armagon and Dissolution of Eternity. They should come with an upgraded DOSQuake executable (v1.08), but if you have WinQuake or GLQuake or a patched DOSQuake, you're fine. For Scourge of Armagon, use the command-line argument -hipnotic. For Dissolution of Eternity, use -rogue. This way you can have mods of the official mission packs, which are in turn mods of Quake. Cool, no?

Installing Maps[edit]

To install a user-created map, download it and extract the .bsp file. Move into your id1/maps folder, for instance if C:Quake is your Quake folder, move it to:

C:Quakeid1maps

Now, run Quake and use the map console command to switch to that level. For instance if the level was called SM36.BSP, type

map sm36

in the console. Alternatively, you could use the +map command-line argument to run it straight off the command line (be sure to use +skill as well to set the difficulty)

Issues on case-sensitive operating systems[edit]

How To Install Quake 2 Xp Model

Mods will occasionally fail when run on case-sensitive operating systems such as GNU/Linux, because they might not find a specific file (e.g. they may try to launch start.bsp and fail to detect the existence of START.BSP).

One possible fix is to recursively rename all files to lowercase. To do that, open a terminal in the mod's root directory and type the following command:
