Q2PLUG files belong to the Macintosh version of Quake 2, the first-person shooter developed by id Software. The extension identifies a file used by the game.
The Mac OS X port reads the file as part of the game data. It is normally loaded by the game rather than edited manually.
This is a legacy format associated with the Mac version of Quake 2.
Open a Q2PLUG file by placing it in the location expected by the Mac OS X port of Quake 2, then running the game. The file is normally loaded by the game rather than opened from the Finder.
Q2PLUG files do not have a useful general-purpose conversion path. They are game data files intended for the Mac version of Quake 2, not files normally exported to another format.
