Quake Pak0.pak
The files in the baseq2 folder (.pk3s and kmq2gamex86.dll) should end up in the same baseq2 folder that contains the main pak0.pak file. Knightmare' Re: Couldn't load /pics/colormap.pcx when running Quake II. I have rediscovered Quake after many years but now I'm running Win 10. I tried (hopefully) to install from the original disk, but to no avail. I read that all I need is the pak0.pak and the pak1.pak files to run Quake (I used Dosbox in the past, but thought I would give Quakespasm a go).

- A platform-specific Quake engine, which is the program you run to actually play Quake. The platform-independent game data archives pak0.pak (required) and pak1.pak (usually optional). The soundtrack, which normally exists as audio tracks on the original Quake CD-ROM, which you can leave in your drive while you play.
- Copy the game data file “pak0.pak.gz” or “pak0.pak” into your installed Quake directory “QuakeID1” on your flashcard or RAMdisk of your Handheld PC. Hint: Unpack the 8MB “pak0.pak.gz” file to the 18MB “pak0.pak” file and the loading time will be reduced to a minimum of 4 - 8 seconds.
A branch of Eluan's QuakeGX port.
Merging with QuakeGX
Eluan has begun work on merging version 0.08 into the main branch of QuakeGX. From there we can properly code in new features. As I'm not much good at Wii coding (all I'm really doing is patching stuff in), Eluan will be able to help big time. So hopefully this page will no longer be needed soon.
Instructions
- Extract the downloaded file into the root of your SD card.
- If you don't own the full version, the shareware version with PAK0.PAK is available here. If you own the full version, the PAK files are inside Quake's ID1 folder on your computer.
- Copy the PAK0.PAK (and PAK1.PAK if you own the full version) file to /apps/quake/ID1 on your SD card.
- The game should appear on the Homebrew Channel menu.
Release Notes
Roll Back
- I'm rolling back to version 0.08, if you downloaded version 0.09-0.11 please download version 0.08. Sorry about this, but I'm noticing some new bugs, and I don't think I want to release it in it's current form. I'll try to get version 0.12 released as soon as possible.

Welcome to Action Quake 2
Action Quake 2 (AQ2) is a fast action packed game with (90's) modern weapons. Without further ado, a fan made gameplay/frag movie that will make it clear what action is all about.
Lights... Camera... ACTION!
So you think you're ready for action? Hit the 'Play Action Quake 2 now!' button and join the fun! You can also join a specific server using the server list. This section explains the basic key bindings and gameplay elements you should know about when playing Action Quake 2.
When you first join a teamplay server, you will be a spectator. The team selection menu comes up with the ,
key. Select a team and your weapon using the arrow keys and you are a few seconds away from the next round.
While playing, you can change your weapon any time for the next round using the same ,
key that you used to select your team. Try out different weapon and item combinations to find out what works for you the best. The most common one is M4 Assault Rifle and Kevlar Vest.
Next, the default key bindings are explained. They can be changed using the ESC
key in-game and selecting the Settings menu and finally Input Bindings.

FAQ
Java Web Start: 'Splash:recv failed'
This is related to the launcher not being able to download itself via Java Web Start. It either means your network is down (unlikely) or that an external application is blocking Javas web access, such as a firewall. Usually the problematic firewall is Comodo and the solution is to add javaws.exe to its exception list. Disabling Comodo temporarily does not help.
Where do I save my own pak files and autoexec.cfg?
The install location is determined as follows:
Windows 7 / 10%LOCALAPPDATA%.q2online
Linux$HOME/.q2online
Save your autoexec.cfg to the action folder of Q2Online. To add your own HUD or other modifications, we suggest using the .pkz format that is just a normal zip file with different extension. Use a name that does not conflict with any other stock Q2Online file and make sure it is loaded after them. Using pak10.pkz or higher is recommended to avoid any future conflicts with Q2Online.
How do I get all the missing textures and other assets?
Q2Online consists of only free components that were distributed with the Quake 2 demo or Action Quake 2. To get all the missing assets you need to own a full version of Quake 2.
To upgrade Q2Online to full version Quake 2. Copy baseq2/pak0.pak from your Quake 2 CD or installation directory to baseq2/pak10.pak in Q2Online directory. Be careful about the file name, replacing Q2Online pak0.pak will result the next update check to fail and it being replaced with the demo file.
How do I uninstall Q2Online and all mods?
Quake Pak0 And Pak1 Download
See 'Where do I save my own pak files and autoexec.cfg' FAQ entry. Just remove the Q2Online directory.
I accidentally removed my Action Quake 2 shortcut, how do I get it back?
First, make sure you have the latest Java installed. Safe version at the time of writing this FAQ entry was Java 7 Update 10. Older Java 7 versions have a bug that prevents you from recreating the shortcut.
Quake 2 Pak Files
Navigate to Control Panel - Java - Temporary Internet Files - View... and select Action Quake 2 from the Applications list and click the shortcut icon. That's it.
What client Q2Online is using?
The latest Q2PRO client is built from the source every now and then when there are major changes to it that affect Q2Online players. You are always up-to-date with the latest features and innovations!
