4. Take ownership of the OS X port
Difficulty: Medium
Knowledge: Good knowledge of OS X
Several years ago a port Yamagi Quake II to OS X was submitted and merged
into our codebase. We tried to maintain it on a best efford base. But since
no Yamagi Quake II developer has a Mac nor the necessary knowledge regarding
OS X, the port bitrotted. Nowadays it's unsupported and next to disfunctional.
Modernize the port and keep it up to date.

3. Installation on OS X
=======================
Yamagi Quake II has full support for Apple OS X. All features are
supported, including the IPv6 network code and the OpenAL sound backend.
Installation can be done by using the binary release (this is highly
recommended) or by compiling the source.
ATTENTION: OS X is currently unsupported. I neither have a Mac nor the time to
maintain this platform. If you're interested in spending work on OS X please
write an e-mail to quake2@yamagi.org.
3.1 Supported Systems
---------------------
Yamagi Quake II should run on every Mac with Intel CPU and OS X 10.6
or higher.
3.2 Retail Version
------------------
If you own Quake II, first get the official point release to Quake II 3.20:
ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake2/q2-3.20-x86-full-ctf.exe
Use this and only this file! Unofficial pointreleases or something like
that will not work and may crash your game!
Extract the file into a new directory (we recommend quake2\) and remove
the following files and directories:
- 3.20_Changes.txt
- quake2.exe
- ref_gl.dll
- ref_soft.dll
- baseq2\gamex86.dll
- baseq2\maps.lst
- ctf\ctf2.ico
- ctf\gamex86.dll
- ctf\readme.txt
- ctf\server.cfg
- xatrix\gamex86.dll
- rogue\gamex86.dll
Now put the Quake II CD-ROM into your cd drive and copy "pak0.pak" and
the directory "video\" to the "baseq2\" directory of your installation.
3.3 Demo Version
----------------
If you haven't got Quake II, try the demo version. Get it here:
ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake2/q2-314-demo-x86.exe
Extract this file into a new directory and delete everything but
"baseq2\pak0.pak" and the "baseq2\players\" directory. No patching
is needed for the demo, in fact it would break it.
3.4 Addons
----------
Due to license issues - Yamagi Quake II is covered by the GPL and the
addons are under the id Software SDK license - the addons are
distributed separately. You can get them at http://www.yamagi.org/quake2,
both contain installation instructions. But nevertheless you'll need an
installation of the full Quake II game with our client for playing them.
The same applies to the "ctf" capture the flag addon.
3.5 Binary Installation
-----------------------
We highly recommend, that you use our binary release of Yamagi Quake 2.
Extract the zip archive and right click on the app. Select "Show Contents",
a new finder window will open. Navigate to Contents/Resources/baseq2 and
copy the contents of the baseq2/ folder (created while preparing the game
data, see above) into it. Close the finder windows. Yamagi Quake II is
now ready.
3.6 Compiling
-------------
Compiling Yamagi Quake II from source is unnecessary as long as you will not
use the github version or want to develop on OS X. If you really want to
compile Yamagi Quake II by yourself follow these steps:
1. Make sure that you've installed XCode with the "Unix Develoment Tools".
Depending on your OS X version the name of these can be different.
2. Extract the framework found in stuff/osx-frameworks to /Libraries/
Frameworks. It's generally a good idea to use our versions since
other builds might be incompatible.
3. Open a terminal and navigate to the Yamagi Quake II source code. Type
"make" to compile it. After that the binaries can be found in the release/
directory.
The binaries can be put into an app-bundle (see 3.5 Binary Installation) or
used in the classic classic unix way. In the latter case the game be started
at the command line. Be aware that the app-bundle support has to be deactivated
in the Makefile, otherwise the game is unable to find it's libraries!
3.7 Default Configuration
-------------------------
Quake II ships with an old and for today standards "insane" default
configuration. This is no problem since you can alter everything. To make your
life easier Yamagi Quake II contains an updated default configuration.
If you want to use it just copy "stuff\yq2.cfg" to your "baseq2\" folder.
Now you are ready to start your brand new Quake II. Have fun.
