Yamagi Quake II Remaster

This is an experimental fork of Yamagi Quake II with ongoing work to add support for Quake II Enhanced aka Q2 Remaster(ed). This enhanced version has a lot non trivial changes, adding support isn't easy and takes time. Feel free to try this code but you mileage may vary.

Have a look at the yquake2 repository for the "normal" Yamagi Quake II: https://github.com/yquake2/yquake2

Alpha windows 64 bit binaries. Saves format is unstabled and could change between alpha releases.

• GL1/GLES3/GL3/GL4/VK:
  • base1: no known issues,
  • base2: no known issues,
  • q64/outpost: broken level change,
  • mguhub: sometimes broken logic for surface fall in next maps.
• SOFT:
  • base1: broken wall light and wall glitch,
  • base2: broken wall light and wall glitch,
  • q64/outpost: broken level change, scale textures unsupported,
  • mguhub: broken wall light, sometimes broken logic for surface fall in next maps.

Monsters:

• incorrect dead animation for Arachnid,
• broken fire effect for Guardian.

Maps support:

Format	Version	Game
IBSP	39	Quake 2 / Anachronox / Kingpin / Heretic 2
IBSP	41	Daikatana / SIN
RBSP	1	SIN

BSPX	39	Quake 2 ReRelease (Extension to IBSP)

Note:

• Non Quake 2 maps are limmited mostly view only, and could have issues with tranparency or some animations flags and properties.
• If you like support some other maps type, create pull request for Mod_Load2QBSP function and provide a link to demo maps.
• Use maptype 1 before load any Heretic 2 maps. Look to maptype_t for more info.

Code tested with such maps.

Yamagi Quake II

Yamagi Quake II is an enhanced client for id Software's Quake II with focus on offline and coop gameplay. Both the gameplay and the graphics are unchanged, but many bugs in the last official release were fixed and some nice to have features like widescreen support, reliable support for high framerates, a modern sound backend based upon OpenAL, support for modern game controllers and a modern OpenGL 3.2 renderer were added. Unlike most other Quake II source ports Yamagi Quake II is fully 64-bit clean. It works perfectly on modern processors and operating systems.

This code is built upon Icculus Quake II, which itself is based on Quake II 3.21. Yamagi Quake II is released under the terms of the GPL version 2. See LICENSE for further information:

• LICENSE

Officially supported operating systems are:

• FreeBSD
• Linux
• Windows

Beside theses Yamagi Quake II has community support for MacOS and most other unixoid operating systems, including NetBSD, OpenBSD and Solaris.

Addons and partner projects

This repository contains Yamagi Quake II itself. The official addons have their own repositories:

• The Reckoning
• Ground Zero
• Three Waves Capture The Flag

Yamagi Quake II Remaster is a project providing optional support for the assets of Quake II Remaster by Nightdive Studios and has a less conservative approach in regards to new features. It also lives in it's own repository:

• Yamagi Quake II Remaster

Development

Yamagi Quake II is a community driven project and lives from community involvement. Please report bugs in our issue tracker:

• Issue Tracker

We are always open to code contributions, no matter if they are small bugfixes or bigger features. However, Yamagi Quake II is a conservative project with big focus on stability and backward compatibility. We don't accept breaking changes. When in doubt please open an issue and ask if a contribution in welcome before putting too much work into it. Open a pull request to submit code:
