Raw Normal View History

- Added AUTHORS file noting people who contributed on the project. - Added HACKING for developer notes. - Updated README to be more of a README. - Updated TODO list. - default don't build xatrix and rogue - rolled back save game changes from 6 days ago, as they suck. Save games are a complex beast and need someone to redesign them so that they aren't tied to a particular build. In the meantime, though, I'm not losing any sleep over it, there's a note in the README about it, so time to close this bug. (Closes: #15)

README for quake2
=================
Compiling
---------
- Removed that evil junk from bootstrap that tried to check for autotools versions -- it's ugly and hard to do right and isn't worth the effort -- from now on I will be referring people to the first paragraph in the README

If you are checking this out from CVS, run ``./bootstrap'' first to set
up configure. You will need autoconf 2.50, automake 1.6, libtool 1.4,
- Updated the README to be a bit more explicit when specifying paths to libraries for configure. - Added some whitespace to messages in configure.

or greater. Then follow the instructions in INSTALL.
When specifying locations to arguments like --with-svgalib (i.e. all the
options that can take a DIR argument as shown by ./configure --help), use
the directory that contains the lib/ and include/ directories; e.g:
./configure --with-svgalib=/usr/local
instead of
./configure --with-svgalib=/usr/local/lib
as configure will automatically look for the libraries and headers in
the paths relative to the given path.
Some notes about building from CVS and a warning that things won't work :)

Installing the game data

The game data is searched for in ./baseq2/ and in
${prefix}/share/quake2/baseq2/ (which by default is

find pics/colormap.pcx, it means that it can't find your pak0.pak. Check
what prefix you gave to configure, and make sure you have pak0.pak in the
right directory.

Save Games
----------
Save games are tied to the build of quake2 that they were created with.
You can *not* use old save games with new versions of the code (well, you
can hack the savegame loader to allow this, but you may find yourself
experiencing interesting and obscure segfaults in the game).
The simple workaround is to *not upgrade* if you are in the middle of
a single player game.
Mission Packs
-------------
To build the Xatrix and Rogue missionpacks, download the sharballs from id
Software's FTP site:
ftp://idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake2/sources/
- Updated the missonpack part of the README
2002-08-12 00:32:30 +00:00
uncompress them, and run the shar in src/xatrix or src/rogue
