# 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
State:
* GL1/GL3/GLES3/VK:
* base1: no known issies
* base2: no known issies
* q64/outpost: no known issies
* mguhub: loaded, sometimes broken logic for surface fall in next maps
* GL4:
* base1: unchecked
* base2: unchecked
* q64/outpost: unchecked
* mguhub: unchecked
* SOFT:
* base1: broken wall light
* base2: broken wall light
* q64/outpost: no known issies
* mguhub: broken wall light, sometimes broken logic for surface fall in next maps
Monsters:
* incorrect weapon effect for Shambler
* incorrect dead animation for Arachnoid
* broken fire effect for Guardian
Goals (finished):
* BSPX DECOUPLEDLM light map support (base1),
* QBSP map format support (mguhub),
* RoQ and Theora cinematic videos support.
* FM/Heretic 2 model format support,
* Cinematic videos support in smk, mpeg, ogv format,
* Use ffmpeg for load any video,
Goals (none of it finished):
* Single player support,
* MD5 model support,
* modified ReRelease game code support with removed KEX only related code,
Bonus goals:
* MDL/Quake1 model format support,
* Daikatana model/wal/map format support,
* Load colormap as 24bit color,
* Use shared model cache in client code insted reimplemnet in each render,
* Add debug progress loading code.
Not a goal:
* multiplayer protocol support with KEX engine,
* support KEX engine features (inventary, compass and so on),
* [KEX game library support](https://github.com/id-Software/quake2-rerelease-dll).
Code tested with such [maps](doc/100_tested_maps.md).
# 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 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. Yamagi
Quake II runs on nearly all common platforms; including FreeBSD, Linux, NetBSD,
OpenBSD, Windows and macOS (experimental).
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 the
LICENSE file for further information.
