GIEX RPG/FPS Hybrid mod

Quake 2 mod |

I did not create this mod originally. It is uploaded here for archiving purposes. If by some miracle the original author can be contacted, I'd love to meet him. Also, he would have full control over what happens to this mod posting. Now onto the mod itself... Borderlands may be the 1st thing in our minds in the modern era of gaming, but back in 2003 I was graced with this amazing rpg/fps hybrid mod. The Awesome speed of quake combines with varied character classes, items, spells, and even different weapons and armor to create a truly amazing action rpg experience. Playable in cooperative or deathmatch modes, this provides an EXTREMELY satisfying role-playing-shooting experience. Character classes include: -Soldier (powerful weapons) -Technician (powerful armor) -Cleric (great healer) -Mage (bonus to spells and magic weapons) -Vampire (very unique character with unique abilities) Items and enemies have been completely overhauled to include everything a great action rpg needs.

As one comment pointed out, you might want to look for alternative quake 2 executables. I like Rich's R1Q2.exe executable, personally. Your saves should be fine if you started playing with the default executable.

It's covered in the summary, honestly. Just look up alternate executables for quake 2. Maybe even enhanced engines. Hopefully, Giex mod will work fine under those.

The Steam version of Quake 2 might have issues with mods. I've seen this with the Steam executables for various iD Software games. There are community-made alternative executables for just about every iD Software game.

Your saves should be fine if you change executables mid-way, but I can't speak for every community-made executable.


I found a link to Rich's quake 2 executable. Just scroll down to where it says " R1Q2 b7587" (as of this writing) and that download link should work fine. I downloaded it and successfully opened giex mod when I wrote this.
