PSP Quake II updates: mapping, handling, and multiplayer |
Ó
About a week ago, PSP homebrew developer McZonk released several details on PSP Quake II, specifically on why the game was encountering several bugs. The dev is updating with more information today regarding the latest fixes for the game's maps, controls, and multiplayer mode.Regarding the matter of maps, McZonk explained that while PSP Quake II had base1, base2 and base3 for multiplayer gaming, their size and the player numbers (2 to 4 players) would make for very slow connections, which in turn ruined gameplay.
This is where the community comes in - the author's inviting willing and able devs to come up with Quake II multiplayer maps for the next game release. These new maPS should be built using textures from the demo, preferably small and balanced - check out McZonk's map to the right for ideas.
The second matter is regarding game controls. McZonk explained that he encountered movements problems while testing the game's multiplayer mode. This was remedied by rewriting the analog nub code, with further plans to test non-linear input, and speed accupolish thration to e game's handling further. Other tweaks included bug fixes and adding the "surrounding box when the opponent has quad damage."
The dev detail discusses the game's multiplayer mode. As McZonk commented regarding the multiplayer menu displayed above:
The first one is the multiplayer menu where you can select the wifi connection: none (for playing against bots), adhoc and the names of your saved connections. I will add the dialog to configure them in the future. The second and third one are the menus for creating and joining a server.
On a last note, McZonk is also in need of testers for PSP Quake II to help improve the game's movement and aiming functions. Guys interested in lending a hand to this project are invited to check out the source link for further instructions.
Kudos to nebelspalter for telling us about this news!

this is great news hopeing it will be released soon..thanx for all ya work.....;)
Multiplayer quake 2 for the PSP....awesome!!
I don't fully understand why the psp can't handle real quake 2 maps. It's not like they're particularly complex...
The real maps are working. The term "less connections" refers to: there are not much connections between the rooms. This makes it bad to play the single player maps as multiplayer maps. You will run and run and don't find the other players.
Will this have Infrastructure mode?
Yes it already has.
Yeah This will be cool, Its great to see McZonk's Quake 2 being worked on again, I think also with the recent development with new PSP Dev codes and other programming and design tools to help developers this homebrew app will now move forward to be much better and faster.
I remember the release with the little test area made me a tad giddy. Glad to hear that development is still going on. As much as I enjoyed playing Quake 2 via my xbox, portable gaming is far more appealing to me. Anyways, good luck with the project and I can't wait to get my grubby little fingers on the next release!
Please read this, you will be excited. When you click this link, http://www.cashcrate.com/206141 you will sign up for a website that pays you 2 - 45$ (PER) to do surveys, sign up for trial offers, and test products. Companies such as ebay pay cashcrate to have people try their offers, and when you complete an offer, cashcrate simply passes the money onto you. By spending an average of 3-4 hours a week on cascrate, I have made 472$ in April, 412$ in May, and 271$ (SO FAR) in June. You get paid in real checks from "KINGSIDE MEDIA" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true, but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day) You do not have to enter your credit card or social security number. Nothing Harmful can come from cashcrate. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 18 OR OLDER, I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND REFERRING PEOPLE, AND I MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY A MONTH JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS. Think it's a scam? Read this(from the website) "We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so. Most of the time you're asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!" There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.
