This is the best Quake 2 conversion, no doubt about it. I love it because it still retains the original graphic theme: it looks modern, but it's still quake2.

But... i really miss the 3d mushroom style explosions from the original game. And the railgun's trail would look a lot better if it would have those particles from the vanilla quake 2. As it is now, it kinda looks like the one from quake 3 and it doesn't fit with the classic quake 2 graphic theme, imo; same for the rocket trail, i loved how the vanilla q2 rockets left a gray (ash?) particle trail behind them that slowly fade and descend.

Any chance to implement these changes in the future? They could be optional, for those that don't like it. The ones currently in 1.26.6 are fine, they just don't really remind me of quake2. And it's a shame, because everything else is perfect.

Thank you for the hard work and for keeping this project alive.

This mod would be perfect if you could add the original 3d explosions (from RL, for example) and particle effects (i still like the original railgun pixelated trail better). And maybe an option for vanilla style menus (black background) and loading screens. Otherwise, this is the best mod for Q2, imo, perfect blending of old and new, retaining the classic feel.
