Within this section I'll be putting anything relevant to quake 2. Such as newz, console commands, tweaks and yes cheats....

These are some of the console commands I utilize,

cl_sidespeed 900
cl_upspeed 900
cl_lights 0

What does this do you ask ? Well, the default sidespeed & upspeed is 200. Therefore setting it to 900 gives a significant advantage. It works for me, perhaps it doesn't work for you since you don't have the same config as me.

The last command, turns off dynamic lighting. Basically the flash of your gun as it fires, and the light created by weapon projectiles are turned off.

These are some interesting things to do with models/skins. Some may consider this cheating, well...opinions are like @ssholes, everybody has one and everybody thinks the other one stinks.

Now if you do the following you can have a skin that changes colors constantly. This is an example based on my config;

bind w "+forward; wait; wait; skin female/ra2red"
bind s "+forward; wait; wait; skin female/ra2oran"
bind a "+moveleft; wait; wait; skin female/ra2gre"
bind d "+moveright; wait; wait; skin female/ra2blue"

Now, whenever you move your skin should change color. As well, you don't have to use the ra2 skins, but since almost everyone has them they'll see the skin changes. You can bind any model/skin that you want though.

If you don't understand how models/skins work...if you have a model/skin and the person your playing doesn't have the same thing you appear as a male/grunt.

One thing I came to realize, around the time that 3.17 came out, people expressed that lag increased. Well, IMHO I believe it was full view weapons support that caused the lag. Cuz, if you do this I find the lag is reduced.

In players folder, create new folder called none, then go into your male folder and copy the tris.md2. Take the copy of tris.md2 and put it inside the none folder. Rename the copy of tris.md2, back to just tris.md2. Now you have no view weapons support for that model, meaning people can't see what weapon you have, but you can see theirs.

Well for the final thing, you can bind waves to movements. Whats a wave you ask? There's 5 of them, flipoff, taunt,
bind w "+forward; wait; wait; wave 0"

Now when you move forward you'll gives the finger to everyone. You can bind whatever wave you want to whatever key, even all the keys if you like but you'll look like your having a nervous breakdown in game. Plus it lags your opponents LOL!!!
