Just copy the files from the Quake 2X zip to the installed Quake 2
directory and overwrite all files that already exists.
Rename default_devkit.xbe to default.xbe or if you're running from a devkit
or rename default_retail.xbe if you're running from a reatil kit
If you want music you must rip the audio tracks from the Quake 2 cd
and convert them to WMA and put them in the "Music" directory.
The tracks should be named 01.wma, 02.wma, etc.
--------------------
Network play
--------------------
Servers can be created on both pc and xbox but in order to join a
server from an xbox you must do the following:
- Get the IP of the server
- Add the server IP to server address list. The server adress list
is saved in baseq2\config.cfg on the "set adr" lines. Pick one
of the 8 address entries and put the server ip within the quotes.
- Restart the game and enter the join server menu, all servers in
the server address list will be pinged and if a server responds
it will be added to to the server list

Known Issues
--------------------
- The config file is saved to the same directory as the .xbe so it would
probably won't work correctly if you're running Quake 2X from CD/DVD
- The console and ingame text output can be very hard to read since they
are positioned without any safezone
--------------------
Known Bugs
--------------------
- Dynamic lightmaps sometimes contain junk data
- The config file isn't always saved when exiting config menus
