Hello!

I am unable to play Jamagi. I did everything intstructions said on the page. I click on all the port launch icons in my extracted folder than I get : "quake 2 couldn't load pics colourmap". How to fix that?

I have solved it. I needed to copy pack files. From baseq2 and expansions. I am only not sure how to run the expansions now.

Reinstall GOG standard offline version. There is Q2Launcher in game folder and ini file for it. Change ini file qake2 executable to ymagiq2.exe.
YamagiQuake2 is source-port mod. It require base game. there is no need to manually tweak nay game files - base game pack loaded proprely as is. As well as for addons.

If you also additionally install any content mods wit new folders - you can add them to ini file as new entries.

Currently base game pack and addons question - it mean you dont have game installed. Creqte and copy files from gog game to new folder eg X:\Games\Quake-2x\ , put all game files there, and extract yamagi there. If you dont want to make any changes to cear game version. Or extract it to normal game folder.

For GOGGalaxy game version and GOG Galaxy client it is also not needed any tweaks. Just use same Q2Launcher.exe as Galaxy launch at game starting. Afyer proper changes to ini file you will see that Launcher show Launch 'Yamagi Qquake 2' instead of 'Launch Quake2'.
Just before installing yamagi verify game files in galaxy client if you installed it not from offline setup exe file
setup_quake2_quad_damage_2.0.0.3.exe is offline installer
GOG_galaxy_quake2.exe is online installer.

New laucnher should looks like attached image, but for differ source-port mod.

I have the game installed . I could not run the game without yamagi port. I have followed the instructions that are on the forums. Therse were files that Ihad to be odeleted and of course I downloaded and extracted files from yamagi web site. Than an error occurred, It was dealt with be copying pak files from my galaxy quake 2. I launched the game with Yamagi Quake 2 and it it is working properly. Now I do not know how to run the expansions. The instructions also said that I needed to delete the Quake2.exe file in the folder that you are talking about. But I don't see the ini file.

If you use separate folder for Yamagi - copy all files from GOG's version. Or move yamagi files onto installed Quake2. Yamagi require base game files - pak, videos, music. And addons files for addons support.

With game-addons files you as result have q2launcher exe+ini. In ini file there is quake2.exe mentioned few times - change it to yquake2 executable and rename few fields how you want. After editing ini and starting normal Quake2 game from Galaxy library - you get luancher similar to what i post.
If you want use differ folders for clear game and Yamagi, but start it from Galaxy - click in client More-preferences-change exe.
It still depend on did you use separate folder for Yamagi or ibstall it above base clear Quake2 game from GOG.

I have separate Yamagi folder in the base game. I have changed the ini file, but now when it launches I get the same thing as you but I can't choose anything. The base game still works when I run it from ports Exe. Once the original game is beaten I am going to make a fresh install, than just extract the port and won't delete anything ,change the ini file, copy stuff that I need from Galaxies Quake 2 into Yamagi folder. Do I need to copy only stuff from expansions and the original games subfolder (baseq2) ?

I have figured it out again. In the original Quake 2 menu, you can select mods, expansions are listed as mods. They are working. You just load them, and they run.

Ty for your assistance
