User guide

Controls can be customized via the Options menu, and by editing your config.cfg files.

Advanced control editing

The following settings are to adjust Analog sticks:

set j_strafe "<axis number>"
set j_throttle "<axis number>"
set j_ud_axis "<axis number>"
set j_lr_axis "<axis number>"

where axis number can be:

0 - left stick left/right
1 - left stick up/down
2 - right stick left/right
3 - right stick up/down

To alter look sensitivity use:

set m_pitch "<new value>"
set m_yaw "<new value>"

Misc

Screen position and size can be modified by opening up the Quake2 console and modifying the following values:

set vid_xbox_ystretch "0"
set vid_xbox_xstretch "0"
set vid_xbox_ypos "0"
set vid_xbox_xpos "0"

Netplay

Quake2xLE supports full online play. If you don't have a keyboard to enter IP addresses in the game. Open up your config.cfg file and add IP addresses of your favourite quake2 servers in the following:

set adr8 "<ip goes here>"
set adr7 "<ip goes here>"
set adr6 "<ip goes here>"
set adr5 "<ip goes here>"
set adr4 "<ip goes here>"
set adr3 "<ip goes here>"
set adr2 "<ip goes here>"
set adr1 "<ip goes here>"
set adr0 "<ip goes here>"

when you restart Quake2xLE you will be able to connect to your servers. Quake2 server list can be found at http://www.gameaholic.com/servers/quake2/

Support over XLink/KAI should work fine. However this is untested at this time.

Notes on CDDA

CDDA audio works fine, however expect a slight drop in framerates since there is a performance hit associated with streaming audio as it requires CPU time.

Controls

R - Fire

L - Jump

L-Stick Thumb - Crouch

D-Pad Up/Down - Next/Previous weapon

Left-Stick - Walk forward/backward, Strafe

Right-Stick - Look

D-Pad Left/Right - Inventory left/right

Right-Stick Thumb - Use inventory
