- 3 - right stick up/down
To alter look sensitivity use:
- set m_pitch "<new value>"

Misc
Screen position and size can be modified by opening up the Quake2 console and modifying the following values:
- set vid_xbox_ystretch "0"
- set vid_xbox_xstretch "0"
- set vid_xbox_ypos "0"
- set vid_xbox_xpos "0"
Netplay
Quake2xLE supports full online play. If you don't have a keyboard to enter IP addresses in the game.
Open up your config.cfg file and add IP addresses of your favourite quake2 servers in the following:
- set adr8 "<ip goes here>"
- set adr7 "<ip goes here>"
- set adr6 "<ip goes here>"
- set adr5 "<ip goes here>"
- set adr4 "<ip goes here>"
- set adr3 "<ip goes here>"
- set adr2 "<ip goes here>"
- set adr1 "<ip goes here>"
- set adr0 "<ip goes here>"
when you restart Quake2xLE you will be able to connect to your servers. Quake2 server list can be found at http://www.gameaholic.com/servers/quake2/
Support over XLink/KAI should work fine. However this is untested at this time.
Notes on CDDA
CDDA audio works fine, however expect a slight drop in framerates since there is a performance hit associated with streaming audio as it requires CPU time.
