The first ever Map Jam for the Quake 2 Remaster, hosted by the Map-Center community, featuring nine Deathmatch maps. It features bot support for each map.
The Jam ran from September 10th to October 1st, 2023.
Installation
Place dmjam_2023.pak in your ..Users\****\Saved Games\Nightdive Studios\Quake II\baseq2\ folder
A custom map list is included with this Jam, this will allow you to easily load and run the entire set of maps in a multiplayer session without having to manually load each map.
To use this, simply create your multiplayer session as normal and once a map has been loaded type the following into the console:
exec dmjam_maplist.cfg
Once this has been done the Jam maps will load automatically after each match ends.
You can load maps individually by using
map mapname (where mapname is the name of the map file, i.e. map dmjam_zether).

Special thanks to Paril for everything he's done for the Quake 2 Remaster and in supporting the community.
These look excellent!
Great new maps for Quake2 Remaster, each one is unique and adds something different.
I made a quick video on each one, just taking a look at them, a couple of minutes each, vid has youtube chapters if you want to see specific map: Youtube.com
There is also a Live Stream video from Quake 2 Map Center of people actually playing the maps: Youtu.be
If you are still playing Quake2 Remaster, this is something cool to check out!
Excellent work and beautiful new content. I got these maps working for myself and a friend who also has the pak installed.
Nobody can join my public room though. Only my friend with the pak.
I even grabbed the files out of the pak and parsed them into baseq2 but still no go for people with no pak.
Seems people must have the pak installed because they can't join an online server and get a download of the files. Is this a bug?
Seems like another big obstacle for us onliners to deal with which is a real shame because those new maps are absolutely beautiful. I especially like the q2dm8 remake.
Yeah, sadly only PC players will be able to join and another thing to keep in mind, any maps that they don't have will be downloaded from you. It just takes a long time for the maps to download, but they do. Console players won't be able to sadly, so yeah. Perhaps rename your room to reflect you're hosting the DM Jam maps and provide a URL shortened link to direct them here to download it. Like "MP Jam @ bit.ly/dmj"
Feel free to use this URL :D
What a brilliant set of maps - hope there will be more of these in the future. Great fun with bots, keep up the great work lads!
