Very nice! I've always been really bad at playing shooters on controllers, so definitely loving the opportunity to play a set of Quake 2 maps that's been effectively locked off from me.
Had my N64 controller's joystick modded specifically for this version of the game at one point. Still couldn't play it because I suck at FPS games with anything other than a mouse and keyboard...
I'm glad someone finally buckled down, of course. Well done! Can't wait until it's done.
This is pretty nice, not familiar with the n64 version myself because fuck that controller, but for the first map it's pretty much the same as ps1, although i don't think the ps1 had such a hit in texture size.
The first map is where the similarities end. The rest of the game is completely standalone bar one area borrowed from PC Q2 and two from Reckoning. And I do mean areas, not whole levels.
Mission 2 is done. Download link is in the first post. Here are some screenshots:

Also this is a proper mod now. Stuff I've changed:
1. Added Invisibility powerup.
2. Powerups are now used on pickup (like in n64 version).
3. Weapon switching animation now plays 2x faster.
4. Weapons now have select sounds.
5. Added footstep sounds to the most of currently used enemies.
6. Changed HUD to look somewhat more like n64 HUD.
Also both game and dll sources are now on GitHub (I've heard that putting a project on the GitHub immediately attracts flocks of experienced programmers and artists). So... um... if you want to help the project by the means of mapping or coding, you now have the place to flock to. So you can... you know... flock there and do githubby stuffs and things... for science!
Seriously though, if you know how to map for IDTech2 or are at least slightly familiar with Q2/KMQ2 source, it would be nice if you can contribute in some way.
If you are interested in mapping, I can document the process I use to recreate the maps.
If you are interested in coding, I have no particular requests ATM, but do have some questions regarding KMQ2/Lazarus source.
