If you are planning on running a public KPQ2V3 server

You will need to use the Enhanced Server files (kpded2.exe) 

The kpded2 files can be downloaded from kingpin.info. When unzipped they will be in your Kingpin folder.

Please read the kpded2.txt file for a comprehsive explanation of all the improvements and settings.

By using the Enhanced Server files it means clients will be able to download the kpq2v3 client files from the server. The client files are in pak1 and contain the Quake 2 weapon and items models, sprites, pics, grappling hook files, custom console background. A binds.cfg file is also included in the zipfile which contains the custom key binds for KPQ2V3.

You will need to uncomment (remove the //) the following line in your KPQ2V3.cfg file so it is executed.

addcvarcheck kpq3v3ver !* STUFF exec binds.cfg

The command tells the client to exec the binds.cfg so the kpq2v3 custom Quake 2 items and grappling hook key binds will work.

It is also recommeneded to uncomment these following KPDED2 commands in the KPQ2V3.cfg.

set download_rate xxx (replace 'xxx' with the speed limit you want such as 256)
set sv_enforcetime_kick 4
set sv_maxpps 120
set sv_max_packetdup 1
set sv_download_precache 1  (if not using an SSD hard drive)
set net_rcvbuf 64  (this increases the Windows network buffers)
set net_sndbuf 64  (this increases the Windows network buffers)
set win_priority auto  (if other programs running the Kingpin server may be given higher CPU priority)
set sv_show_connections 1 (shows when players connecting to server)
set sv_show_name_changes 1 (shows when players change names)

All the above kpded2 commands have been added to the kpq2v3.cfg file.
If you want to use them they just need to be uncommented.
