Archived from groups: alt.games.quake2 'Kilgore Trout' wrote in messagenews:df3rhr$7eh$1$8302bc10@news.demon.co.uk.I have just started playing Quake 2 again thanks to the Quake2.NET people. I can't find any of the wonderful models and skins I used to have, and the only place I can find them is at fileplanet and I am not prepared to pay to download. Is there anywhere else I can get the files?If this be the same Kilgore Trout I'd seen around my local BBS's years ago,Peace.MichaelMcG.

Wow, you are old. 8-DWell, BBS's were all we 'civilians' had easy access to! I started out witha 300 bps internal modem card.
By the time I could see the BBS's prettymuch all closed down, I'd found my phone lines in this area were limited to26,400 bps. Then the internet opened to public consumption A few yearslater, cable finally came to my town.But yeah, I've been at it a good while. My grandkids think I'm.really. oldMcG.

The versions operate virtually identically. Nautical software radar plot.

Barren's Realm wasmy favorite game by far. I guess I'm getting old too! Archived from groups: alt.games.quake2 I started at 300 baud. You could read the text as fast as itdownloaded. On a good day, you could tweak all the way up to 305.Oh wait. I just lied.My first connection was on a big noisy teletype machine.Pick up phone.Dial number.Listen for carrier tone.Place handset into the cradle on the machine.We even had porn, but all in ascii.
Print it off. Hang on the wall.Step back several paces to see it.Turn the machine off when not in use. Otherwise noise from the vacuumcleaner would run all of your paper onto the floor, while typingrandom characters.It was a big improvement over smoke signals.

Ya madefriends, went out an met em shopping at the local computer type shops and atthe malls, had bbq's and picnic get togethers. These days, a friend youmake might be in England, Oz, Kiwiland, Kenya, Russia, ANYwhere. Gettogethers aren't as frequent:-McG.

I don’t remember it taking any time at all, and it's inconvenient for me to reinstall atm. If I knew which part of the weapon switching process was slow, I could offer suggestions based upon that.Edit: if it's like Quake Champions, then switching while idle should be nearly instantaneous. But there is a delay, after you fire, equal to the reload time of the weapon before you can switch. I don't know how to change that, but I would be surprised if there isn't a setting for it.
If not in vanilla, then definitely in a Source port. Would probably need to change it through console or the cfg file.Additionally, it's easier to switch weapons faster by setting your weapon binds around your movement keys (qer123zxcf, etc.).
