The easiest way to install this on your Quest is using SideQuest, a Desktop app designed to simplify sideloading apps and games ( even beat saber songs on quest ) on Standalone Android Headsets like Oculus Quest and Oculus Go. It supports drag and drop for installing APK files!
This is just an engine port; though the apk does contain the shareware version of Quake2, not the full game. If you wish to play the full game you must purchase it yourself, steam is most straightforward: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2320/QUAKE_II/
Copy the PAK files from the installed Quake2 game folder on your PC to the /Quake2Quest folder on your Oculus Quest when it is connected to the PC. You have to have run Quake2Quest at least once for the folder to be created and if you don't see it when you connect your Quest to the PC you might have to restart the Quest.
This version of Quake2Quest is now updated and based on the excellent Yamagi Quake 2 Engine (https://www.yamagi.org/quake2/). The original project this port is _very_ loosely based on the Quake 2 port created by Stefan Welker for the Open Dive VR headset (https://www.durovis.com/en/opendive.html), however that build has been deprecated.
WARNING: There is a good chance that unless you have your VR-legs this will probably make you feel a bit sick. The moment you start to feel under the weather YOU MUST STOP PLAYING for a good period of time before you try again. I will not be held responsible for anyone making themselves ill.
Controls
--------
All these controls are for right-handed mode (vr_control_scheme 0), if you wish to use a left-handed control scheme then add the following to the config.cfg file and all buttons/sticks/controls will be switched:
* The Original Soundtrack in OGG format *does now work too*!
* Multiplayer is unlikely to work very well, if at all I'm afraid. I explain reasons why can be seen here (they apply to this as well as Lambda1VR): https://www.reddit.com/r/Lambda1VR/comments/dtutnx/so_whats_with_the_head_aiming_in_multiplayer/
* The folder into which the pak files from the full game and other things like mods and the OST shoud be copied is now called _Quake2Quest_, this is to avoid collision with the older configuration files for the previous version, it also means if you did prefer the vanilla version, you can roll back and all your saves will be intact.
The 2nd release of Quake2Quest updates the underlying engine to Yamagi. This has a number of benefits including but not limited to modding, music support and a reworked save system. However as previously mentioned save files will not be compatible between these two versions. Moving forward any updates to the application will not break save files. To avoid conflicts and to also allow you to revert to the original version should you feel it necessary, there is a new file structure. If you have copied across the full game this will need to be redone. Complete list of installation instructions below:
1) Install the game via SideQuest or by downloading and installing the APK file
2) Run the game once
3) If you own a legal copy of Quake 2, you should copy all .pak files from baseq2 to the newly created Quake2Quest folder on your Quest.
Optional:
4) If you wish to enjoy the Quake 2 soundtrack you can place the relevant OGG files in the folder Quake2Quest/music.
The game includes Hi Res textures, skins and items previously collected by the user Realistic. We could not find the original author of these weapons, nor does the pack include any licensing at all. If you are the author of these textures please feel free to contact us and we would be happy to credit you or remove.
I would like to thank the following teams and individual for making this possible:
* Emile Belanger - For advice regarding converting the Android build of Yamagi. See his other Android ports [here](http://www.beloko.com/)
* [The Yamagi Team](https://www.yamagi.org/quake2/) - For the excellent engine this based upon.
* Baggyg - My long-time VR friend whose roles in this have been varied and all helpful, also the creator of excellent websites/artwork/assets for this mod as well as altering models to be more VR friendly
* The [SideQuest](https://sidequestvr.com/#/news) team - For making it easy for people to install this
* The Quake2Quest folder cloned from GitHub should be below VrSamples in the extracted SDK
* Create a local.properties file in the root of the extracted Oculus Mobile SDK that contains the ndk.dir and sdk.dir properties for where your SDK/NDK are located (see Gradle documentation regarding this)
* To build debug you will need a _android.debug.keystore_ file placed in the following folder:
