Rolling around in a giant pile of nostalgia, I decided to dig through files on a pile of old hard drives I had lying around. My chief goal was to find my old Quake 2 installation so I could recover my former collection of player models, skins, maps, and game mods. I ultimately failed in that mission; the drive I was sure held my quarry was super dead.
I turned my attention to Google to see if I could find an archive of old content from Polycount or Planet Quake. I ended up finding a great collection on tastyspleen.net that held the players and maps I was looking for and a ton more. It also introduced me to the Q2Pro client and server. My mission changed from a simple recovery operation to a deployment.
So now q2.omgninjabot.com is a thing. Right now it's cycling through a collection of deathmatch maps. I plan to add more mods at a later date if there are enough players. I'm also working on adding stat-tracking and possibly bots for team games with low player counts. More to come as I have time, but for now go play some Q2!
