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
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
If you are checking this out from CVS, run the bootstrap command first to set
|
|
up configure. Then follow the instructions in INSTALL.
|
|
|
|
Use --disable-asm on the configure line if you want to use the software
|
|
refreshers on i386, or better yet, fix the bug in the asm!
|
|
|
|
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/
|
|
|
|
uncompress them, and run them in src/xatrix or src/rogue
|
|
|
|
In src/Makefile.am, swap the comments on the SUBDIR lines, and run ./bootstrap
|
|
from the top level. Rerun configure and make.
